who prefers to see a Republican
sent to the United States Senate,
who wants fair investigation of
the states finances and the abolish
ment Of unfair election laws can
consistently vote against Mr.. De
clue. He is a man of the people
and for the people. He has made
himself what he is by his own eff
forts. His occupation rs a school
tcacIier equips him for the position
and il lie is elected he will repre-
sent the county cretlitably. His
honesty will prevent the stigma of
hoodling from falling upon this
county in the event of his election.
Let the Republicans Of Washington
County make a determined effort
to elect their candidate and they will
be proud when they see their coun-
ty in line against the ringstcr gov
ernmcnt that has given the state
misrule for thirty years.
n. +. ROBINSON, than whom
the people of this county could
hardly find a better man to serve
them in the capacity Of county
clerk, is commended to them for
his sterling qualities and fitness for
the Office. He established record
while holding the Office of county
assessor some years ago for con
scientious and faithful application
to his duties, no one ever applied
to him for information in line with
those duties who did not receive Il
prompt and courteous reply. He
is capable and reliable and if elect
ed will give his undivided #ticn-
tion to the duties of the office. His
time will belong to the people and
he will render an honest account
inc thereof.
JOSEPH f. SLOAN, our can
didate for Circuit Clerk and Re
eorder is in every way worthy Of
the support of the party. While
new in politics he is not unknown
to the l.cople of the county. He is
member of one Of the oldest fam
lilies in the county, whose name is
associated with its earliest history.
Born and bred among the people
to whom he comes for political
favors he may be deemed as one
of them, one whose claim upon
public favor is equal to that of any
other citizens in the county. His
qualifications for the office he seeks
are of the highest, his character is
clean and his personal qualities
stamp him as man of courteous
and obliging disposition. BY elect
ING Mr.. Slcan to this office the
I people will have served only their
, best interests.
JOHN MACLAY for Collector
is Just the man for that Office. He
is sn honest, capable straight-for
ward young man; has good edn
cation and fine business capacity.
OF a genial and happy nature his
friends are limited only by the
limits of his acquaintance with the
/ people, which is not small. His
political record, like his personal
character, is above reproach, and
Republicans can support thin with Il
: clear conscience. No man in the
county would make a more honest
l and ehicien, public servitor than
Mr.. Maclay. and the Republicans
should see to it that he is elected.
= JULES +. BOYER for County
: Trcasurer-thc name issynonymous
with the term, good official. Mr..
Boyer is widely known to the peo-
:, pie of Washington County through
his four years service on the coun-
ty court bench. In this capacity
ho has at all times endcavored to
do his duty to his constituents, but
always within the restrictions Of
the law laid down for the guidance
:: of the court. In asking the people
to elect him to the Office of county
treasurer he appeals to them
through, is crcditabIc service in
the past. Should they elect him to
this office the finds Of The coI.niy
;. will be safe in his hands.
u Nj. f. RHODES, the Republican
d candidate for Prosecuting Attor-
y ney. is worthy of the full conf
