| The people of this county require in a recorder, One who is familiar with books and business affairs generally as well as a man who is accounted to be

 in railroad and express companys
 work. and recently he has been ill the employ of a local building and loan
 company That is three lines of work i that above all others require accuracy
 and in which there is great trust and
 responsibility. To all thes- varied du- | ties MT Mauk has been found faithful

 uror is q man that thoroughly under stands his books, knows how to keep
 them and has the proper inclination to do SD. He should be an expert in his
 fine. He should be a man who is
 smart enough to steal. but who would die before harEGring such q thought | Such d man is NJ. w. N. ssinger He has s,rved the people of this county faithfully for two years. He has not

 | There is every reason to believe that the people of tkis county desire re-
 publican in rhe office of district attor- ny for the n xt two years. The record fo ths last two years as compared with ] previous terms should be sufficient ar
 gument for any fa;r minded voter. The i county has be n the gainer by hund- ; reds of dollars. So much for the po- 1 lftical part of th= question. As to the republican candidate II can be said ] that MT. Al,Lur J. Edwards is well i posted in the law and has had several
 years of practice in this county. He
 knows thoroughly what the duties of
 the office are and his greatest pride will
 be in their faithful discharge. Ills personal character and reputation is
 above reproach and he has the conf

 can candidates for Phoenix precinct, land they will in all probability be elect
 ed. together with Fred Madrid and D.
 r. Kyle, who are making a good can
