CLERK OE THE DISTRICT COURT.

When We say that the Populists NOM
mated as good a man as can be found
in Barber county for this important of
fee, we are doing injustice TO nobody.
Sam Adams is man whose honesty
and integrity are above suspicion and
reproach. He settled in Barber county
in 1884 and if any man knows what it
means to battle against misfortune in
cident to frontier life he certainly has
that knowledge. Mr.. Adams has been
farmer during most of his years in
Barber county, but moved to this city
this fall on account of reyerses and
failing health. He has a large family
to support and is deservant of the peo-
pies suffrage. He is we'll qualified to
discharge the duties of the office and
will make an obliging officer. Mr.. Ad-
ans became POpulitt in 1890 when
the party was organized. lie did not
play the party for a deputyship only to
turn back into the republican party
when an Office was held out as an in
ducement. His political convictions
are neither for sale OF trade. Vote for
Sam Adams and you can be assured
that you are electing a man who will
give you an honest, systematic and eco
nomical administration of the district
clerks office.

COUNTY ATTORNEY,

Barber county is as much in need OF
a qualified county attorney as she has
ever been aud the taxpayers cannot af-
ford to try an experiment. The Peo-
pies party candidate, A. L.. Herr, is the
only candidate before the people this
fall who possesses these qualifications.
He graduated from the law department
of the State University in the spring of
1898, after completing thorough two
years. course, and has been in active
practice ever since that time. The re-
publican candidate took a makeshift
one years course and has had absolute
ly no experience. Mr.. Herr is a man
Of strictly moral HABITS, is honest,
straightforward and has no enemies to
punish, no friends TO reward, and the
only pledge he has to fulfill is that of
discharging the duties of the office, If
elected, fearlessly, faithfully, with
equality to all and partiality to none.
There is a triangular contest on
this particular Office this fall.
Either the republican or the Populist
will be elected. The motives of. the
democratic candidate are we'll under
stood and he is deceiving nobody. A
vote for Mr.. Herr is vote for a COM
petent, honest, economical administra-
ton of that office. Put your X in the
square at the right of his name.

The Peoples party candidate for rep
resentative is DIR. A. s. Cloud of Kio-
wa. Too much Importance cannot be
attached to- this Office. If county
fails to send an able, wide awake repre-
sentative to the legislature it is sure to
suffer and every voter of Barber county
should be very cautious when he casts
his ballot for that officer next Tuesday.
The opposition has not attempted to
question DR.. Clouds. ability nor have
they centended that the republican
candidate is able to represent the peo-
pie at Topeka next winter in justice to
himself and the county. Men, there
fore, who have no political bias will
vote for DR.. Cloud. DR.. Cloud is not
only qualified in an educational way
but in every other way. He has inter.
ests in Barber county, has come here
in an early day and has done as much
as any man to improve and add to her
resources. AS man he can not be as
sailed, and, above everything, when he
goes to Topeka he will 60 there to sus-
tain and add to the good work done by
the last legislature and the present ad-
ministratIon. DR.. Cloud will vote for
the initiative and referendum; his op-
pOnent will not. DR.. Cloud will vote for
state insurance and state stocky ards; his
opponent will not. DR.. Cloud will vote
for reduction of freight and passenger
rates; his opponent will not. DIR. Cloud,
if sent to the house next winter, will be
on the side of the people in every in
stance; his opponent will always be at
the disposal of corporations who wax
fat from the earnings of the people.
Voter. it is for you decide. Which
man will you elect. Canvas your own
condition, remember your duty to your
loved ones AID be alone with your
conscience when you walk into the
booth next Tuesday. If you do this
you will vote for DIR. A. S. Cloud, the
Peoples party candidate.

PROBATE JUDGE.

Burd Lacy was nominated for this
Office. by the Peoples party, because of
his especial fitness. No man in Barber
county is more capable of weighing
matters coming before the probate
court. In local affairs his counsel is al
ways sought and his judgment is recog-
nized as being good, even by his politi-
cal enemies. In politics he is a Popu-
list and he has been one during the past
eight years. His opponent has no DO
litical convictions. He has been dodp.
Ing hither and thither in search of an
office for ten years and does not know
today what he will be tomorrow. His
Judgment is poor and his prejudices are
too deep tor the performance of duties
required by that office. Judge Lacy is
an aged man and while the emoluments
OF the office are quite small, they will
help to make living. This, taken in
connection with the fact that he is bet
ter constituted to discharge the duties
OF the Office than his opponent, ought
to settle the question with the average
voter. Vote for Burd Lacy.
