shown good judgment and much pollti-

ry legislative ability. He is a man of
wide experience, practical farmer who
understands the needs of the people,

b. A. M'ADOO
is the POpulist candidate for sheriff.
Every voter IN Barber county ought to
be proud that Mr.. McAdoo Is a candi-
date for that Office. Joe, as he is COM
monty called, is one of the old, original
Barber county boys. He has always
mace an honest living on the farm or
the ranch. He Is a poor man but al
ways pays his debts as he goes and new
er lives beyond his means. He is none
of those who !" fly high" for time and
then go to the public for sympathy. He
succeeds in his undertakings and makes
no professions except that of being a
plain average citizen. Mr.. McAdoo is
an honest, sober, courageous and de-
termined man, and should he be elected,
will do his duty at all times. He has
been over great deal of territoryin wes-
tern Kansas and Oklahoma and will be
the right kind of a man to capture GRIM
mails who fee from justice. If the peo-
pie OF Barber county want a man to fill
qualified and who Is kind hearted, cor
dial and free from dissipation they will
mark an X in the square at the right of

amount of taxes which might have new

ever been fixed on lands held by the
county for taxes and he has several
times prevented the removal of build
ings therefrom until the taxes were
