iiOIO lOdSOh why ilc SllOulu D0 heartily
supported by the voters of Wasco
county, irrespective of politics.
For prosecuting attorney the Republi-
can party presents the name of A. A,
Jayne. Mr.. Jayne has held this office
for two terms and has made record
which has been source of pleasure to
ali who have watched his career. Like
the judgeship, the Office of prosecuting
attorney is not political one and the
man who is the best qualified should be
supported. Mr.. Jayne is recognized as
an able lawyer, decisive in action and
independent in the conduct of his office.
Every reason which prompted his cleo
tion heretofore exists all tbs stronger
now.
G. G. Kinney, the Republican nomi-
nee for member of the state board of
equalization, is from Sherman county
Mr.. Kinney has held the office of assess
or in that county and performed all the
duties with unusual merit. His assess
ment had the honor of being the only
one which was allowed to remain un-
corrected by the state board. Mr..
Kinney would make desirable man in
the position for which he has been nomi-
mated.
The election of members to the legis-
lative assembly is an important matter
this year, for the legislature to be elect
ed will choose a United States senator.
The Republican party has been es-
pecially fortunate in it's nominees for
these offices. Mr.. A. S. Roberts, of
Deschutes, is one of the best and favor
ably known men in Wasco county. He
is extensively interested in farming and
sheep raising, while his name is syn
onymous with honesty. Mr.. J. w.
Morton of Hood River, like Mr. Roberts,
is interested in the upbuilding of Eastern
Oregon. He is engaged in raising fruit
in Hood River valley, and stands in
great favor with his neighbors and all
who know him. Both Mr.. Roberts and
Mr.. Morton are worthy the support of
the voters in Sherman and Wasco coun-
ties.
TPE COUNTY TICKET.
Leaving the congressional, judicial
and legislative nominees, and coming
to those on the county ticket, the first
which appears is the name of Robert
Kelly, the Republican nominee for
sheriff. It can be said without fear of
contradiction that the books of the
sheriff's office have never been kept
with the neatness and accuracy as dur
ing the last four years, when Mr.. Kelly
has had them in charge. He has saved
the county hundreds of dollars by his
watchfulness, and Wasco County may
be congratulated if it shall keep him in
the sheriff's office still longer.
A. M. Kelsay, the Republican nomi-
nee for county clerk, has filled that
office for four years to the eminent sat
of the taxpayers. He is court
eous, obliging and competent, and his
reelection would be declaration that
Wasco county desires good officers, and
none better has she ever had than Mr..
Kelsay. If it were left to those who
have had business to do in the clerks
office the last four years to decide this
matter, Mr.. Kelsay would receive all
the votes, as it is he should get them
nearly all.
If there is a more whole-souled, genial
man in Wasco County, or one who is
more competent to perform the duties of
county treasurer than Charles l.. Phil
lips, the Woman's Edition does not
know him. Charlie Phillips numbers
the multitude as his friends, and well
loes he deserve their respect and lik-
ng. Mr.. Phillips has made a model
treasurer for the last two years, and
here can be no valid reason assigned
Why he should not be reelected. The
luties of the office have been honestly,
and pleasantly performed,
ind it is no more than right that he be
for another term. He has long
,een resident of Wasco county, and is
Identified with it's interests.
