The border vidette., 1900-11-03
OUR CANDIDATES.

NEXT Tuesday the taxpayers of
with the determination to elect none
but competent men to fill the various
county Offices. The little county of
Santa Cruz cannot afford to elect in
competent men, they come too high.
The VIDETTE does not think the voters
will neglect their duty next Tuesday
at the polls; the future and even the
life of the county of Santa Cruz is at
stake and every mar who casts a vote
should make it his business to find out
whether the man before whose name
he places a cross is worthy and COM
petent to discharge the responsible
work this election entails.
Study we'll the Democratic ticket
from top to bottom which appears in
THE VIDETTE. Ii you do not know
the men whose names are on the
ticket, investigate, ask your neighber.
A majority of the men are we'll known
by every taxpayer in the county. If
you find that Messrs. Farrell, Williams
and Gee are in all respects qualified to
take care of the peoples business as
a board of county supervisors; that
each of the three can be depended
upon to do his duty by all the people
i'll every part of the county without
fear or favor, then this paper asks
you to cast your ballot for them.
For the office of sheriff the demo-
PRODUCTION at this late day. Every
voter in this county either knows Tom
Turner personally or by reputation.
He will make one of the best sheriffs
III the territory, for he is intelligent,
strong and brave, and will never be
found in hiding when he is wanted to
perform his official duty. With a
cool, determined and fearless man like
Tom Turner occupying the sheriff S
office the bad man with the gun will
disappear from our midst and life and
property will be secure, and taxes
soon be reduced. The candidate for
sheriff on the republican ticket is a
most excellent gentlemen and a good
enough citizen, but God bless you, he
is no more qualified to fill the office of
sheriff of Santa Cruz county than the
editor of this paper. Mace Burgoon
is good fellow, but the taxpay ers
are good fellows too, and for that
reason they will look out for their
own interests and see to it that meme
receive their support next Tuesday
who are competent.
For the office of district attorney,
the Democratic ticket presents for
the suffase of the voters of this coun-
ty Frank j q. Duffy, a young man who
has been student of law for many
years; young man who is capable
and honest. Frank Dufy's reputa ton
for honesty and integrity is SO we'll
known to the voters of this county
that it is unnecessary to enlarge on
them. The writer has known Frank
Duffy over eleven years and never
in that time has he heard word
uttered to his discredit. No combina-
ton or combination of Mbinations
Can beat Frank in his run into the
district attorneys Office on the first
day of JanuarJ 1891.
George b. Marsh is another winner
on the democratic ticket who needs nc
recommendations. His own business
success proves he is a cool financier
and the county funds will be in ex-
cellent hands when MIR. Marsh takes
charge of them. No man i'll this
county has more right to ask the suf-
frage of the people of Santa Cruz
county, for he has done good work for
the baby county and Nogales. Geo.
B. Marsh is one of our most pros
porous and successful citizens and he
will 60 into office with safe major
ity.
