The County Ticket.
STATES ATTORNEY.

The only candidate for prose
cutting attorney is Geo. S. Rix
If you don't like George you
don t have to vote for him, bu,
you cant vote for the other fel
low, as the republicans didn't
want to and the populis S
couldn't find the other fellow.
COUNTY AUDITOR.
For this Office the republican
nominee, John E. Truran, will
be the only candidate on the bal
lot. The fact that the populists
We're unable to find candidate
to contest the place is compli-
ment to John which he may we'll
feel proud, and a testimonial to
his popularity and acknowledged
capabilities to make just the
right kind of an auditor.
TREASURER.
The case of j. n. Stafford, the
republican candidate for county
treasurer, is another instance
where our populist friends gave
evidence of being able to recog-
nize a good thing when they saw
it, and with a wisdom that was
not born of Mary Lease they
very unanimously endorsed the
republican candidate by passing
the nomination for treasurer.
This with the unanimous nomi-
nation by the republican conven-
tion is a tribute to Mr.. Stafford S
efficiency as an officer, and is a
well merited compliment to the
prompt and careful manner in
which he has discharged the
duties of the impo1 tant office of
treasurer during the past two
years.
COUNTY JUDGE.
The nominee of the republicans
for this office is S. S. Lockhart,
who is well. known to the people
OF Grant county as a practicing
attorney of ability, who is well
qualified to discharge the duties
Of the office and handle the pro
bate business with fidelity and d
proper degree of dispatch and
secure to those entitled to a
speedy distribution of property
rights.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
We believe it is the desire of
nearly every citizen that the
present high state Of efficiency
# the school system III Grant
county be maintained and i'm
proved upon as time and eXper-
ence may point out the way.
To do this there must be at the
read of this department of the
county government man thor
)ughly qualified both by educa
ion and experience IN school
matters. In the republican nomi
lee for superintendent, Mr.. M.
VI. Ramer, the people have such
/ man, who also adds to these
deep interest in
matters and a natur
lily aggressive character that
will not rest until the highest |
possible ideals are attained in his |
school work His ability and ac-
lulrements are recognized by |
he educators Of the state by APP
as institute instruc-
or, and the schools Of Grant |
will be under safe and
capable supervision if he is elect
ad superintendent.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
Mr.. +. W. Meehan, the repub-
lean candidate for register of
deeds, was one of the four candi-
lates that our populist friends
lad the good sense to learn to
ike during his two years of
pffice, and consequently Frank
will have no opposition to his
election.
CORON Err.
DR.. w. E. Robinson the repub-
ican candidate for coroner will
as his trst official duty |
sit upon the hecorpseof the defun CT
party and endeavor to
earn whether it was really su
eide or case Of prenatal troub
e, the child having been brought
nto the world with double por
ion of lungs, given it by mis-
AXE instead of brains.
COMMISSIONERS.
For county commissioners, in
the first district the republicans
nave placed in nomination John
,. Nelson and in the second dis
trlct William Graham. Both
