B. F. SHRlvER FOR SHERIFF

the same class with them when it
comes to bribery, securing votes
with whiskey, and every known
way that is dirty politics. The
county politician can give us a
full flush and four aces and then
beat us. They have done every
thing we knew to do but they
60 on so far beyond the pale of
decency we are not in the same
class with them at all. The coun-
try people need never accuse us
again Of being wicked here. We
are saints compared to them.
For Prosecuting Attorney we
think Carter is away ahead in the
race. He will carry this district
by a large majority, and will be
nominated. Our advices from all
over the county are to the effect
that Carter will win out by large
majorities.
For Assessor in this district
Long has the almost solid vote OF
the Standard Oil company, which
may elect him. This is a funny
thing. Long is running on his
record as having assessed the
property of the Standard Oil
company much higher than has
any other Assessor, and yet he eH-
poets the dear people to believe
this when the Standard is openly
working again for his renomina-
ton so he can continue to assess
it's property HIGHER than any
other Assessor has done. In other
words, the Standard Oil company
is now working to have nomina
ted an Assessor who will assess
it's property here at the highest
known rate. Does any sane man
believe any such tommy-rot? Re-
verse it, and you will have it
right. Again, the office is worth
perhaps 5000 a year. We have
a man spending money to be elect
ed to a $500 office when the
Standard is paying him 81, 1850 a
year that we know of, yet he is
anxious to drop a job at $50 a
month to get one worth $25 per
month. Sane people are asked to
believe the statements are true.
No sane man will vote for Long.
For Justice, Of course, as two
candidates are to be elected Low
Their and Soles will 60 through,
and it's the same with the Consta-
bles, only two candidates are run
ming.
For State Senate Gregory will
carry every district in the county.
We will be pleased when the peo-
pie decide as they will tomorrow
that men of Hills calibre are to
be allowed to remain at home.
For a member Of the County
Court we urge the people to vote
for Captain John G.. Way against
R. A. Martin. We have nothing
to say against Mr.. Martin, only
that he is not for Sistersville nor
Lincoln district. With him on
the bench we might as well petit
ton the Ohio river for a favor or
right here as Martin. Captain
Way is honest, he is competent,
fair, just, liberal, progressive and
would make a splendid member
of the court. He, would not only
treat our home people fair and
equal, but the whole people from
one end of the county to the
other. We need such man on
the bench, and we should give
him a solid vote tomorrow. Don't
forget to vote for Captain John c.
WAY for member of the County
Court.
For member of the Board Of
Education DR.. Dye has no opposi-
ton on the ticket. He ought to
make a good member of the
board, and he will be nominated.
For the Legislature we have
nothing to say.
We hope the best men will win
out tomorrow, and if they don t
thor will have hard time TO win
