1t is very hard for an every day
man of the people, to assume airs
foreign to his nature. The mold
in which William McCurdy is
cast was patterned without frills.
To assume then, simply because
the people have elected him as
their servant, would make him
ridiculous. But we can say,
without fear of contradiction that,
Mr.. McCurdy has never had any
temptation in that direction. His
line of duty is before him, he sees
it, he performs it and his con-
science decides for him how we'll
it is done. The treasurer's Office
to him is a sacred trust. He real
ICES how important to all the peo-
pie it is, that they know their
monies are absolutely safe. If
any man has ever questioned that
they are unsafe in his guardian
ship, he has kept such thought
well hidden. Unquestionably Mr..
McCurdy possesses the confidence
of everybody. Gould you ask a
better custodian of your monies
than he? We think. not and we
confidentally believe this conf
dence will secure his overwhelm-
ing election.

SO long as men, responsible for
the being of children, endeavor to
pay grudges or personal spite by
disposition of their property in
their last wills, SO long will there
be rich picking fer lawyers. The
disipherited daughters OF George
Tritch or young Cornelius Van
derbilt, the latter by all rights
tho head of the family, could
readily break the Wills of their
parents. No will has been yet
made, impregnable, despite bar
risrs innumerable erected around
them.

Suited all right-Man came to us the other
day: said he hadn't cent. Wanted to buy
a piece of property. Said he earned $50 per
month and could spare us $3e Of that. Pre-
ferred to buy if he could rather than to rent.
We had nice Groom house. price suited
him. Terms suited us. Will take lumber
of years paying rent to himself to own the
house but it's just like finding it.

James II. Smiths water powe

James H. Smiths water power
plant on Orchard Mesa which, be-
fore it WAS q success cost mint
of money, demonstrated the FEAST
bility of reclaiming the arid land
of Orchard Mesa by water from
the river. This, while undertak-
en- as private scheme, was a
public benefaction, in way. Can
anyone point to any public effort
on the part of William Campbell
The daily sentinel., 1899-10-30

Mr.. Campbell has been q stand
ing mark for any nomination to
hit him for several years past.
This is not assuming that he has
sought nominations, but he has
stood out where the political light
ming could strike him without
having to hunt very strongly for
him.

There need bs no concern over
