The Republican County Ticket

wants for the ensuing tive years, and a |
careful consideration of the qualifica |
tiors of the nominees is OF paramount
necessity.
Hon. w. N. Noffsinger has been placed |
in nomination for district judge by the
republicans of Flathead and Tetou
counties and the fact that he was select
cd as the proper man by the people of
his own county which has such men as
Hon. b. j. McIntire and Hon. Geo. II.
Grubb, eligible for the position, speaks
volumes as to the standing of Mr.. Nof
singer in the COMMUNITY where he re
sides. Mr. Noffsinger was a leadingcan
didate for appointment as judge when
the district was created, and had the
voice OF the people been listened toI
would undoubtedly have bceo the first
judge of the district; but as it was, a test
of authority between the governor and
state senate resulted in the appointment
of another. A lawyer Of large exper-
once and thorough gentleman ia pri
vate life, Mr. NoffSinger viii make
judge cn whom the people can rely.
w. u. Jones, the candidate for repre-
sentative is an old time resident of this
county and has been tried as a public
officer, having been chairman OF the
board ofcounty commissioners during the
trying period just after the formation of
tho county, when good business head
md hn ct M
condition of county affairs is largely the
result of his earnest application in the
performance of his duties. Mr.. Jones
has been successful as we'll in his private
business affairs, and his large experience
in stock growing, the occu patton OF nine
tenths OF the people of this county rem
ders him peculiarly fitted to LOOK after
our interests in matters of legislation.
Geo. c.. Taylar will make tie best
sheriff Teton county has ever had, being
especially qualified for the duGies of the
Office by education and experience, coup
ed with natural endowment of eX
ecutive ability. With Mr.. Taylor as
sheriff, and thu corps of able deputies
whi2h ne will appoint, the way OF the
transgre3sor will be hard, and the peace
and security of the community assured.
John S. Gordon is by elacati3n and
business experience an expert account
ant, aud neat an correct set of books
will be found in the Office OF the county
treasurer during his incumbency. The
state examiner will fin / it a pleasure to
visit Teton county instead of disagree
able duty, and the counting CT the peo-
PIES cash Will result in ~ unpleasant
developments.
James Sugrove has demonstrated in
the past his ability as county attorney
and it is an undisputed fact that he
OF the law, SO far as this county is con
cerned. His election will tend to eX
pedite all criminal prosecutions and
bring a swift punishment upon all who
violate th9 law, without fear or favor.
r. .. Larson is bright business man,
young, active and thoroughly capable o
bringing the assessment of the county
down to a system. We predict that il
the event OF Mr Larsons election thu
property owners OF the county will bt
accorded the p iviiege OF giving in thei
assessments personally, and will not ii
put to the Inconvenience OF protesting
against valuations placed upon thei
property by system OF Jumping at con
clusions.
A. Q. Warner has served the count,
long and faithfully, and has the enviabl
reputation OF keeping the best set o
books in the state OF Montana. The peo
plc will think mora thaa twice betor
they consent to change, when every
body knows tlat the present conduct 0
the Office cannot be Improved upon. Th
county clerks Office without Warne
would look lonesome, indeed.
The Office OF the clerk of the distric
court, lke tlat OF the judge includes
term of for years, an1 the present in
cumbant, Sterling Mcdonald, has prove
himself worthy of con1d9nco Of the peo
pie. We have yet to hear OF the Sigh
eat criticism against Mr. Mr.. Mcdonald
conduct as public officer, and his ez
ceileno record viii be il lorBod on eleC
day.
Olaf c. Field has served the count
for two years as surveyor, and, had b
