kh0uh Win.
Tt,s political outlook u very satisfsc.
tory to ths Republicans A formerly
pss.iieted by the Entsrpriss tho people of
OtsTo county arc In favos of good aud
scoaomscal eovsrumsat. and that will rs-
yard merit. They realise thst OtsFo
county hes grown 10 such proportions
and hAs % many varied interests that u
y sxtrsussly necessary 70 secure the most
eompsssut. Trustworthy aud economical
olAcials 10 look aitee and care for tbsis
iutssssta.
The qusslina = asksl. ~Who are ths
slroag candidates and vho arc the weak
oussY' From ths best Information 10
can sst, there are no weak candidates on
tho ticket. The record stands out - =
beacon Light and 20 arc couddsnt that
on election day . great majosity OF the
psopls will vote for every candidate on
tho Rspublican ticket. The fneuds OF
Mr.. Potter have tried TO tell tho people
vhnt saving u would 10 tn have him Tor
sheriff. but Mr.. Potter has bssn sheriff
before. and his record il made. aud 70
gar,iiess of what his friends mny say.
tho facts and figures as mentioned In
last weeks issue arc trne and correct and
they cannot be changed.
The fact that Mr.. Barr has saved thou.
sands OF dollars over Mr.. Potter and done
almost twicc tho business. IL true. The
fact that Mr.. Potter only PAYS taxes on
four head oe cattle in this county. al
though n thousand Iraxe in Il most the
year around. 10 true. Why then should
we wnut change IN tho oflics for sheriff.
II has bseu conceded from tho start
that Mr.. Bessbohm and Mr. Adsmoud
practically hsd no opposition. and tho
more 10 inquire - TO Who and What their
opponsuts are. vs firmly believe that
th-rs should be no practical opposition
10 them.
II. d. Gsrvood. the nominee for county
clerk. has for tho past six years 20 sue.
cessiully managed important business Ia.
terssss with which our farmers arc closely
iisatitei. that all Of his extensive nc.
quaiutancs are convinced Of his ability 10
handle in tho most thorough manner tho
duties OF the clerks oflicc.
Judge Miller u known Tar and vide a.
. fair and hooest Judge. A the county
judgeship 10 an oi{ice which probatcs all
sstatcs, aud particularly tho widows aud
orphans arc In his charge, we know Of
no man in tho county At this time to whom
such interests could bs conhded moro
safely than in Judge Miller.
As regards tho candidacy OF cum ~ su-
perintsndent, Mary J. Anderson 10 20
known to all the people OF otero county
that wc see no reason Why she should not
be one Of the strongest candidates. She
has filled the Office with marked cfiicicn.
cy. md with tho assistance Of u corps Of
choice tcachcrsshas brought the schools
Of our county to such "a high grade Of
proficiency TINT 1t seems that it wonld
seem risky to transfer this important po.
sition to new official. This Is really an
Office that should not enter into politics.
aud tho present high standing Of the
school system in otero county is certainly
an incentive to NIL those who favor higher
education to go to the polls and lny aside
their politics and vote for Mrs. Anderson.
Mr.. Draper has been go long in the
county and has conducted his business so
successfully, is certainly proof OF his en-
pability OF filling the office OF county
commissioner to the satisfaction of all.
His election would mean that we would
have one OF the very best nj our business
men to occupy the important position OF
county commissioner.
Mr.. Weaver, the candidate for county
surveyor. is highly recommended by the
people Of Sugar City as being a first.class
engineerand from all indications his elec-
ton is assured by large and safe major
lty.
As soon after Nov. LIST as the change
can be made the telephone central office
will be moved to the new Enterprise
building. where incr eased facilities for
serving the public will be provided.
