ton, than Mr.. Lee johnson of Sunny

The naming of young and progress
i've man for this most important office
gave special pleasure to a large number
of the younger republicans OF the coun-
ty, and to representatives of our bust
ness interests of longer standing as well.
Hardly would it have been possible to
find in the county man better qualified
for the office than the unanimous choice
of the convention, Lee little.
Mr., little is comparatively recent
addition to the business circles of the
county, coming here about five years
ago from Bethany, H., for the purpose
of accepting the secretary and treasure
ship of the Mckee Company. This i'm

since, discharging his duties in per
fectly satisfactory manner, handling the
thousands of dollars involved in the
company's business every year in q

all of Mr. Titles work, and it is said
there is not better kept or heater set

ing into service with the Sixty third
Pennsylvania regiment. lie served in
the Army of the Potomac and was in
the Peninsular, Gettysburg and Wilder
the battle before Gettysburg, and was
honorably discharged from the service
in August, 1864. He was married soon
after leaving the army to Miss Barbara
Steiner, and engaged in coal mining in
Pennsylvania until 1873, when he came
west, locating in California. The new
Northwest held greater attractions for
him, however, and the following year
he came to the Yakima valley, going
into ranching and stockraising on the
present site of the fair grounds. In the
years that followed he acquired some of
the best pieces of land in the valley and
became one of the original owners of
the North Yakima townsite. From the
time of his coming here he has always
had the greatest faith in the Yakima
country. He has lived here continu-
ously since that time with the exception
of few years following 1886, when he
went to Gle Elum, invested heavily in
real estate there, and established and
for time personally conducted the
Reed house, then one of the best hotels
in the state.
In no sense OF the word has Mr.. Reed
been an office holder or office seeker.
With the exception of several terms of
service as councilman from the Third
ward in this city the only office he ever
held was that of the registership of the
United States land Office in this city, to
which he was appointed by President
Mckinley in 1898. His administration
during the four years that he served
was one of the most satisfactory to the
department and to the patrons of the
Office in the history of the land office,
and it was in the just and capable con-
duct of this position hat he made many
OF the friendships of which he is so
proud.
From the date of the convention the
Herald has believed that Mr.. Reeds
majority will be one Of the largest given
any candidate on the ticket in this
county.

For County Clerk.

The few words that the Herald mas to
say in commendation OF Mr.. j. w. Day,
the gentlemanly and efficient county
clerk. who is nominee for that office
again, are not said of necessity, or to
help out one who needs them. but rather
as in the case of all the others who re-
ceivc these notices complimentary. As a
tribute to his worth as Il man and APP
probation of faithful and intelligent
service as an official 1t was wholly due
to their recognized worth and ability
that three present officials of the coun-
ty are without opposition in this cam
paign, the opposition party not nomi-
mating candidates for auditor. clerk and
assessor. This action amounted to an
unqualified Endorsement of Mr.. Day and
his fellow officials, and is certainly a
tribute that speaks louder in their be
half tnan words.
Mr.. Day was born in Sioux county.
Iowa. in 1872; he spent the years prior
to his coming of are there, and received
a good high school education. following
which he taught for several years in the
Hawkevc state. lie came to the Naki-
ma valley in the spring of 1894 and set
tied in the Sunnyside. rancaing in the
summers and teaching school in the vim
tiers. He lived near Sunny-idc for five
years. until named by County Clerk Az
len as his deputy in 1922 when III re-
moved to North Yakima. lie served
in that capacity until the fall of 30.
when he succeeded Mr. Allen as clerk.
The members of the Yakima county
bar and in fact all who have business
dealings with the clerks office. are un-
reserved in their praise of Mr.. Days
ability and close attention to business.
His experience has fitted him thoroughly
for the work and he is in addition ac-
commodating and ever ready to dis
commode himself in order to obligc the
patrons of the office. That he was ap-
preciated and immensely popular even
before his present term of Office is shown
by the fact that when he was elected
clerk two years ago it was by a major
ity next to the largest given any can
didatc on the. ticket.

him well in hand in the discharge of his
new duties and he soon became familiar
with the routine of work coming before
the auditor He gained while deputy a
wide acquaintance and made lasting
friendships through his strict attention
to business and pleasant, obliging man
ner. The people soon learned that he
was not only a competent, careful and
painstaking official, but very agreeable
gentleman with whom to transact bust
ness, and it was but natural that he
should be given a term as principal in
the office where he had so capably dis
charged the duties Of first deputy. He
was elected by a handsome majority,
which his friends predict will be greatly
increased at the coming election. 1t is
slid that the books and records in the
auditors Office were never more neatly
or carefully kept, and all work coming
up is attended to carefully and promptly,
conditions which the people of the
county may depend upon continuing for
another two years at least.

DR.. w. II. Hare, one Of the nominee,

he held until Cleveland was elected in
1894. He resigned at that time, and
