notch. a pleasant handsbak :, a smile,
aud ~ you scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours, idea, wont go. This
office needs firmness with no favorit-
ism. the present republican incum-
bent now has the affairs Of his Office in
the best shape in the history of the
county and VIC believe IL elected, Mr..
Gather will follow as near rs possible
in his footsteps. MIR. CATER has the
ability and will make a pleasant off
cial to do business with.
FOR CLERK-E. s. CARRIER.
For clerk, Mr.. +. s. CARRIER seeks
your votes, and il you honor him with
the same we believe you will never
regret IL. Mr.. CARRIER is a native Of
Iowa, but most Of his life, or for a
least 81 years has been passed in and
around Guide Rock where he now TO.
sides. As an old settler, while yet com
paratively a young man, he ranks with
the oldest. The best endorsement any
young nan can have is that no word
against him in any particular comes
from the home town and the vicinity
in which he has spent 80 many years
of his life. Ia the convention which
nominated him the precints contiguous
to his home were a unit in his support.
His capability for attending to the
duties of the Office to which he aspires
are well known. The opposition will
hunt in vain for a flaw either as to his
honesty, character or fitness for the
position which he seeks. His popular
ity, coupled with his unassumed good
nature end pleasantness should make
him Il winner at the coming election
His home town and neighbor precincts
have only words Of commentator for
him aud why should not you.
FOR JUDGE--G X, CHANEr.
The Importance Of an Office, that Of
county judge, has been lost sight of in
the general scramble and effort TO land
the other offices. This office is sought
for by G. X. Chaney. This is an Office
which should have as a presiding Off.
Ger a man well versed in the law. Too
many petty cases are taken on appeal
to the district court on account of the
fact that the lawyers and their clients
are not satisfied to let their cases, where
u point oflaw is to be decided, go to
decision before men who know no
more Of the law than the clients do
themselves. No matter on which side
the favorable decision is given the
other will take an appeal under exist.
ing circumstances. 1t would be just as
proper to put a harvest hand in a drug
store TO compound drugs. Brains of
the law is Il special requirement in this
Office. IL is conceded by all lawyers
that Mr.. CLANCY knows The law having
had practice in all the courts. Why
not elect "A judge who will be a judge
IN learning as we'll as in name.
FOX SHERIFF a. u HEDGE.
When any n speaks of Oliver Hedge
every M knows him around this por.
ton of the county. Oliver is our san.
didate for sheriff and IL the votes of
his friends count for anything he will
be sheriff after January 1st. He is a
farmer and has resided in Red Cloud
township for many years. This Office
Is a peculiar n as to qualifications Of
what goes to make a good officer but
we believe that In this instance IL

on an order which will gain for him
the respect OF evil.doers and at the
same time he 10 gifted with enough dis.
erection, tact and pleasant manner

part OF vslor. He Is a man OF good
character and habits and has q host OF
friends who will bear out our remarks,
