OUR CANDIDATES

DR.. Alexander was nominated for
Coroner, unanimously and when cleo
tion day has passed it will be found
that he has been elected in about the
same manner.
John Demain for commissioners will
bring the same good judgment to bear
on county affairs that has made him
SO successful in his private affairs! He
is one of the old settlers OF Brown
township and fully conversant with the
affairs of the county. He will be elect
ed by rousing majority.
H. A. Retder our nominee for Reg
lister of Deeds hardly needs any intro
duction to our people as he it the old
est son of j. j. Reeder of this city.
Mr.. Reeder came to Kansas with
his parents in1S7S and settled in Frank
liz township. He obtained his edu-
cation in the schools of the county and
for the past three years has been en-
gagged in teaching, and holds a second
grade certificate. He is a young man
of exemplary habits, and is an except
ionally fine penman. A set of records
kept by him will compare favorably
with any that have ever been kept in
this county.
Will II. Polling, of Lincoln township,
our candidate for Sheriff, has wide
circle of acquaintance in this county
who are very much elated at his selec-
tion for this responsible positio on.
Mr.. Polling is % years of age, was
born in springfield Ohio, and educated
in the schools of that city. He came
to this county 10 years ago and is en-
gagged in farming. Mr.. Polling is the
author of the popular campaign songs
that were sung by the Lincoln glee club
in the Inst campaign.
Mr.. Polling has told us confidentally
that he is obliged to plead guilyto be-
ing single man at present, but just
wait little.
AS sheriff he will be credit to the
county.
C.. G. Cormack for county Clerk is
an old timer in the political arena,
having filed the Office of County Sup
erintendent for four years, and the off,
ice of county clerk for one year, giving
general satisfaction. He is one of the
teachers in our city schools having
taught here last year and been re-em-
ployed this. He is fully as capable
of filling the Office as any man who
has done so since the organization of
the county. He is a vote getter and
his ability as an organizer is recog-
nized by all. With the support of the
party there is no reason why he should
not be elected by good majority.
J. 1. Brelsford our next treasurer is
at present employed in keeping books
for Edwards & Noble, which is a
guarantee that he is a thorough book
keeper and that is what is wanted in
that Office. He is a careful, painstak-
ing Office man and perfectly adapted to
the duties of the Office.
He is extremity popular and will
be found in the lead on election day.
E. P Shepherd, Or ''Old Shep." as
he is famillarly called has filed the
office of County Surveyor for the last
three years without doing harm to any
one, which is more than can be said OF
some Surveyors. He is an old soldier
and has a host of friends who will
rally to his support at the polls.
There can be no question as to his
election, for the republicans of this
county have not got sueveyor in
their ranks to put up against him.
Pete Loso is now in charge of the
house at Palmer Lake, Colorado.
