CLERK AND RECORDER.
Another office that especially REQUIRES
a trained business mind is that of coun
ty clerk and recorder. Here are kep1
in minute detail the records of vas,
transactions in lands, in mining prop
erty, IN water rights and the hundred
other papers which daily find their way
into the office. These records when
properly kept are of inestimable value,
and the chief safeguard the people have
against endless litigation. For this
office In particular the people need A
man who is thoroughly familiar with
handling OF books, records and papers
OF all descriptions. The details of this
Office are not to be grasped in day or
week: 1t requires years of the clos
est study to become familiar with the
details. For this reason the county
needs man who knows his business.
and knows it well, and such man has
been nominated by the Silver Republi-
cans. He is known to more people in
Granite county than any other man,
and his name is Daniel Arms. MIR.
Arms has filed this responsible position
for the past two years-frst as deputy
under the late &. j. Reek and later az,
his successor and it requires ONLY a
short visit to the office to convince anv
one that its business is managed in a
cTedltable manner. SO thorougblv IA
mlllar is MI. Arms with the details of
his office that he can place his hand in
an instant upon the book, paper or doc
ument desired. During his term in
office Mr.. Arms has won the praise Of
those who have had business with him.
He Is always to be fonnd at his desk
and always at work. He is accommo-
dating, courteous. and a thorough gen
tleman, and is most assrredly the prop
er man for the place.
TREASURER.
James K. Pardee is a candidate for
reelection to the most responsible posit-
ion within the gift of the people IN the
county-One where honesty is beyond
all other things the principle consieer-
alton. Mr. Pardee bespeaks for himself
the support of the people for county
treasurer. For the past two wears
Mr. Pardee has served the good peonle
OF Granite county as treasurer in a
manner which every TAXPAYER within
lts D. rders appreciates. He is a thorough
business man of high intelligence and
eminently qualified for the place where
the county's funds repose. A short
visit to Mr.. Pardee's Office sufficiently
proves to anyone that the business is
transacted In a manner highly salts

election secures to the people of Granite
county an officer who will conduct the
affairs OF his office in manner highly
satisfactory to every taxpayer.
ASSESSOR.
The office of assessor is one in which
every taxpayer in the county is directly
interested. 1t is of no small conse
quence to the taxpayer that every piece
OF property, real or personal, within the
limits of the county, be eouitablv as
sessed. This Office requires man of
exceptionally good sound business
Judgment, who is thoroughly familiar
with values of property as well as the
location Of every piece of land and
every building in the county, so that
nothing shall escape taxation and no
unnecessary burdens be placed upon
those who are not entitled to bear them,
but that all shall pay their lust propor
tionate share into the county Treasury
Such man is John H. Niol. of Granite,
who has been named by the Silver Re-
publican convention as assessor for
Granite county. Aside from being a
thorough business man, M. Niol is q
laboring man as well. Twenty years
