SOME GOOD CANDIDATES.

elected now.
The constables and justices of the
peace are men who have the special
qualifications necessary and will natur-
ally follow the whole ticket right along
to victory.
E. H. Mosher, the comming assessor,
is an honest, efficient man, just such a
man as that position requires. He is
a rancher who knows values and will
do his duty we'll.
Fred O%smotherly is said to be one Of
the most capable and courteous clerks
Of the court in the Black Hills. He
therefore isn't worrying much over the
result. The people appreciate capa-
BILE officers and don't favor reckless
changes. He is intelligent, a fine pen.
man, accommodating, and in every way
finely equipped for such work.
Peter Franzen, of Edgemont, is q
straightforward business man who will
most carefully and accurately look
after the Office Of register Of deeds.
His home has been in this county for
years; all that he has is in this county
and he expeets to make this his home
continuously. Stay with our own old
timers and give your vote to Pete
Franzen.
Altogether the republican party has
a worthy ticket of capable men, one
that every republican car heartily sup
port. Compare it with the other ticket
Mr.. Bryan's ticket-and see if it isn't
honestly the better ticket as a whole.
OF course our .friends-the Bryanites-
name some pretty good fellows, but
that is no reason why they should be
supported when our fellows are just as
good, and mostly a little bit better.

That capable, honest veteran, H. G..
Allen, is to be the next county auditor.
For years he has resided at Oelrichs
and has the respect and esteem of
everybody. He is a clean, intelligent
mai, has had much clerical experience
and is finely equipped for the import
ant work that devolves upon the audi
tor. A man must know something of
bookkeeping or he can't properly fill
that Office any mole than he can fly.
just ordinary knowledge of keeping
simple books will not do. That gallant
veteran, Mr.. Allen, is worthy ,of the
suffrages of the people.
If there is any office that the people
do want a change of administration in
it is that of sheriff. The democrats
have had it for years and it has been
the most expensive of all. They want
to keep it there, of course. Ted
Petty has been deputy and now he
asks for promotion. That Office re-
quires a brave hustler and everyone
knows that Chris Jensen fills the bill.
He has the metal in him that good
sherifs are made of. He is a t~ireless
worker, is strong and vigorous, and
has the ability to handle the Office.
Eelect Chris Jensen and he will be the
sherif-no deputy will run it for him.
Miss Black seems to be exceedingly
fortunate, for somehow or other the
opposition took a notion not to file the
nomination of their nominee, Miss
Rich. Hence Miss Black has no COM
petitor. While it's too bad for Miss
Rich not to have the pleasure of run
ming for Office, we nevertheless feel
constrained to congratulate her in not
being associated with a ticket that will
take a voyage up Salt creek. And the
county is assured, just the same, of
having a we'll. qualified, thoroughly
equipped county superintendent of
schools.
D.. G. Grippen has given the position
Of comfy commissioner his best efforts
and attention during the past three
years and filed the position with much
credit. It is a most trying place, a
thankless one, and without much re.
m~uneration. He now understands all
the details of the duties of the office
and can give the county better service
than a new and inexperienced man,
and especially better than a new man
in the county. He is identified with
the county's best interests and every.
thing he does is for what he regards
best. Let we'll enough alone and give
this honorable old soldier your sup
port.
It is most important that our states
attorney should be a man at least who
has not been digging up all sorts of ex
