J, management OF state affairs and ther
:. have been no scandals in any OF tn
y departments. A better set of stat
: officers never looked after the inter
S ests of great state. They all ar,
! candidates for reelection and all have
proved themselves worthy Of re-elect

Our candidate for Congress, Hon
George w. Wheatley, is an old NeoshC
county boy. We nearly all know him
and know him to he clean, honest
man, full of energy and ambition.
He sprang from the farm and at a
very early age was thrown on his own
resources. He Is truly self-made
man and worthy of the vote Of every
honest citizen. Let us show George
! by our votes that we respect his earn
est manhood and that we are ready to
help along any Neosho county boy
who is willing to help himself and
proves himself worthy.
Col. John G.. Carpenter, the nomi.
nee for State Senator, is probably bet
ter known than any man in the dis
trict An old citizen Of Chanu'e and
an experienced man of business, with
years of experience in public life, he
is in every way well qualified for the
position he seeks.
AS to our county ticket the Repub-
licans Of Neosho county never put out
stronger or better ticket for the
various county offices than they have
this year Every man on that ticket
is particularly qualified for the place
to which he aspires and most of them
have had experience in the office to
which he aspres this fall. No one
can make any mistake this year by
voting the straight Republican ticket.
There is Fred Carter, of Thayer, a
nice, quiet, moral young man, an
honest, hard working carpenter 10y
trade, who asks your vote for district
clerk. Mr.. Carter is quick-witted,
W ide-awake young man, full of vim
and well fitted for the duties of dis
trict clerk.
j. n. RoSeberry, our present pro
bate judge, has shown by his works,
the past two years. that he is the
right man in the right place, In the
judges Office. An old and successful
school teacher and kindly, honest
heart, he is well fitted to look after
the estates of the widow and the
orphan.
A. NJ. Sailors, our county superin-
tendent, by years of successful exper-
fence as a teacher in the country
schools ard the schools Of Chanute
fitted himself for the duties of his Of
flee. He has looked after the interest
of the schools of the county the last
two years in an able and conscientious
manner and is deserving of another
term.
Our candidate for county attorney
is S. G. Brown, the genial, jolly Shell,
known by everybody as the best fellow
on earth. Mr.. Brown has held this
Office two years and is entitled to an
other term. Shell made no mistakes
when in Office before. The interests
of the county were carefully looked
after and the county was not plunged
into unnecessary and expensive law
suits by his advice. Shell is compe-
tent lawyer and a reliable counselor.
The county will never suffer at his
hands.
James Nation, the nominee for rep
resentative, is an educated young
man of intellectual ability and moral
worth. A graduate of our state nor
NAL school and successful teacher
with his experience in the county
treasurer's office for the last two years
he is we'll equipped to serve US as rep
resentative.
The people of the second commits
sioner district have for their candi-
date this year, Henry Lodge. Henly
is known by every man in the county,
and known to be one of the shrewdest
best business men in the county.
Having lived in the county from an
early day and seen it develop from a
frontier settlement to one OF the fore
most counties in the state, and served
as commissioner several years, he
knows our wants and is thoroughly
equipped for the place. 1t is very
rare that the services of a man so en-
Iuently well equipped to act in this
important place can be secured.
Henry Lodge should be elected by
unanimous vote.
