n
Prosecuting Attorney, is g lawyer
standing high in his profession, with a
wide experience, and would make an
| ideal officer. He is as clear cut as a
cameo, with a distinct strength in his
personal friendships, and is backed by
an universal recognition of his compe-
tency and ability. His election will
bring to the Office of public prosecutor
the right man for the place, and there
is a widespread appreciation of this
fact.
A happy choice indeed was the selec-
ton of Hon. L. S. Jordan for Judge OF
the Criminal Court. A lawyer long in
practice, his past experience both as
Prosecuting Attorney and on the bench,
has given him an insight into criminal
law unusual among members OF the
Ohio county bar, and his qualifications
for this high and responsible office are
such as to entitlel him to an easy selec-
ton, while his personal popularity will
result in the casting Of many votes Ior
him outside of his party. Like Messrs.
Irwin and Wilson, Judge Jordan has
unusual elements of strength through
his wide friendship, and his recognized
integrity, ability and general fitness for
the position to which he has been
named, assures him Of the triumph to
which he is entitled.
Coming to the legislative ticket, the
Democratic candidates stand pre-
eminent above the Republicans in
point of merit, both general and par
ticular. 1t is a ticket symmetrical and
ideal 1t commends itself to the pub
bic, and is thoroughly representative.
The labor candidate, Charles A. Caren-
bauer, is the real thing. He repre-
SCENTS labor, for he is workingman.
He knows the needs of labor,
and can be depended upon to
STAND up for its rights and interests.
At the same time he will be interestel
in and will look after the general wei
fare of the city, county and State. The
lawyer upon the ticket scarcely needs
even an introduction. Everybody
knows him, and every one has the most
implicit confidence in him. No better
candidate ever stood for the suffrages
of his fellow citizens than l. F. Jones.
And no man could give better return
through services at Charleston. Robert
Simpson, successful business man, of
clear judgment, well informed upon
the questions Of the day, thoroughly
equipped in knowledge Of the needs
of our people, always sohcitous for the
welfare of the public, conservative
firm, cautious, yet energetic when the
occasion requires energy, quick to rec
ognize the essence of a proposition and
whom the people will delight to honor.
And with these three is associated ID.
M. Thornburg, a representative Of the
farming interests of the county, man
sound in discretion, of mature judg-
ment, and rich in the condolences OF
those who know him, and they are a
majority of Ohio county voters. 1t is
a splendid ticket, and beside it the Re,
publican candidates are entitled 10
nothing more than second place.
The Democratic candidates for AS
SCISSORS and Surveyor are thoroughly
competent men, who are entitled to and
will receive a majority of the votes
cast The affairs of the respective If
fees to which they aspire will be safe
in their hands, and they will give
good account Of their stewardship. rt
This is brief outline of the ticket
presented for the approval of the peo-
pie Of Ohio county. No flaw can be
found in it. 1t shows perfection in
every detail, and commends itself to
the sound discretion of the voters.
That it will be triumphantly elected is
as certain as anything of political
nature can be.
