THE TICKET.

1t is recognized on all sides that the
ticket nominated on Wednesday is,
taken as a whole, the best ever brought
before the people OF Crawford county.
There is no doubt but that if the com.
ing election we've a non-partisan one; if
the decision were to rest wholly on the
merit of the candidates, the ticKetnom-
mated on Wednesday would be elected
by thousand majority. One eason
for the superiority of the ticket is that
the democratic was simply the result of
a combination Of the strength of various
candidates, it was a case of you tickle
me and I'll tickle you. In such cases
the qualifications of the man are apt to
be lost sight of, the only question be.
ing it my township votes for him, his
township will vote for me. The con-
vention on Wednesday was a deliberate
body. it was not handing out boqnets;
it was not paying political debts; it was
not looking toward future political
swaps it had but one object in view
to nominate such a ticket as should
command the respect and CONFIDENCE of
every voter in the county The result
is a ticket worth working for, worth
voting for, and if the necessity must be,
worth being defeated for. n
We ask every voter to compare the
two tickets, man by man. Take into
consideration the naturesof the Office to
besfilled, take into consideration the
fitness OF the man to fill the Office and
then decide-not on the strength of
craftsmanship, or nationality or preju-
dice-but on straight forward business
principles.
DR.. J.J. McWilliams, the candidate
for Representative, is a pioneer son of
Crawford. Born, where our college now
stands, he has spent all his life in Craw-
ford county. Himself the son of our
first physician, he became a doctor,
graduating from the Rush Medical
College in Chicago. We shall publish
his biography in another issue.we want
the people to know all abouth;m. Suf-
flee it to say that in his practice at
Charter Oak he has become a friend and
counsellor in hundreds of homes. He
has been a friend in need to many a
poor person lying in the agonies of pain.
His career as a physician has been an
honest and honorable one. He is a man
among men, a genial, wholesouled man,
a man not afraid to make up his own
mind and not afraid to express it when
occasion arises. He lisa mar who would
make himself felt in legislative halls. a
man capable of leading public thought,
a man who will represent Crawford
county not merely as a voting machine
at roll call, but as an active, live factor
in shaping events.
G. E. Price, of Vail, is the candidate
for Treasurer. Down in Vail they call
him Charley. He has been good enough
for the democrats OF Vail to vote for
for mayor time after time. Hehas been
a banker, we suppose this crime (?) will
be laid to his door. The democratic
candidate for Acknowledgements two
years ago was a banker, the chairman
OF the last democratic county conven-
ton was a banker, but we suppose that
is different. Mr.. Price has been a bank
or. His bank was safe and reliable.
democrats and republicans trusted their
money to his charge, and he never be.
trayed a trust. Is he not a pretty safe
man to handle tie county's money? He
is an expert accountant. Is that a bad
qualification for a county treasurerp
What kind of a man would you want to
hire ii you needed a treasurer for your
own business? Would you not, if O
could, employ a man whose honesty had
been tried and proven; a man who
knew about handling monies and ac-
counts? How about it, now, just as a
practical question?
For county attorney we offer you an
ATTORNEY.
Mr.. Cyrus Beard, our candidate for
county attorney, studied law two years
in the law Office of Hon. G. G. Bennett
