Our Ticket.

In fact one of our first citizens. He
is among our best and most highly
respected citizens. His qualifica-
tions for the position are unquestion-
ed. He is abundantly able to take
care of this important Office with
credit to himself and the people of
Meade county. We can make no
mistake in electing him to this i'm
portant position.
For County Clerk, Frank Wehrle
is called upon to make the race.
Mr.. Wehrle held this Office for one
term and gave such satisfaction that
a majority of the voters of Meade
county voted to give him a second
term, hut unfortunately for Mr..
Wehrle, technicalities in the law
caused the throwing out of enough
votes to defeat him. He now comes
before you and asks you to give him
the office for a second term. His
qualifications for the position are al
so unquestioned. He can look after
the affairs of the Office in the very
best manner. He solicits your sup
port.
Chas. Talley, nominee for Regis
ter of Deeds, is among our best citi-
zens. Charley is known by every
one and no one can say aught
against him. He would make an
ideal official and one in whom you
could have confidence. He has
been in Meade county long time
and this his first offence in asking
for an office. You cannot make
any mistake in electing him to the
position.
John Elliott, Clerk of the District
Court, is known by everyone in
Meade county. He has been the
very competent official for some
time and now asks you to continue
him the position for two years more.
There is no better fellow in the state
than thoroughly fitted for the
position, accommodating to every
body alike. See that you cross his
name.
For Probate Judge we have Will
Jobilng, who settled at Pearlette IN
1870 and has been a good citizen of
the county ever since. Bill has seen
the ups and downs of Meade county
and also experienced them, but he
has come out of the kinks, right side
up. He has never held public
Office except Justice of the Peace,
and that he filled with satisfaction
to everyone. He is as competent a
man as we have in the county for
the position to which he aspires,
that of Probate Judge.
For Sheriff we have old reliable
Sam Conger, who has lived here a
long time. Sam has the confidence
and esteem of all his acquaintance
and all have the utmost confidence
in his ability to fill the Office of
sheriff. He has been resident of
Fowler, Meade and Plains, at which
points he has held the position of
Section Foreman. Sam would make
a good official.
For County Attorney, we have
Frank S. Sullivan. the young attor-
ney from Plains. Frank has not
been a lifelong resident of Meade
county, but has been a first class
citizen since he has been with US.
He is a graduate of the Wichita
Commercial College, of Wichita.
He has taught school in both Kan
sas and Oklahoma. holding first
grade certificates in both common
weatlhs. He has studied law and
was admitted to practice by Judge
!. Madison about year and a hall
ago. Since. that time he has resided
at Plains and has had considerable
practice. He is qualified in every
particular and in the event of his
election will give the county first
class service.
Miss Ruth Bennett, candidate fol
Superintendent. of Public Instruc-
ton, is one of the finest and most
: estimable young ladies in Meade
: county. She has lived here almost
since infancy. She has taught
: school for several terms and ha.
held a second grade certificate fol
the past three years. Miss Rutt
has given entire satisfaction where
ever she has taught and was employ
ed to teach in the Meade school bu
accepted a more lucrative position
elsewhere. The people will max,
no mistake if they elect Miss Ben
nett to this most important position
She is qualified in every respect ant
competent to fill the Office.
