w. Rus Smith.

We are requested to call atten-
ton to the candidates for the
House of Delegates. Two of the
candidates are named Smith, so
be sure and vote for W. Rus
Smith. Mr.. Smith, as our readers
know, was called to Del Ray, CAL,
on account of the serious illness
of his sister, who went there
sometime since for her health.
For this reason he has not been
able to make an active canvass.
Mr.. Smith is a thoroughly honest
man, he is a Republican, would
make a decent and respectable
representative from this county.
When you vote tomorrow see that
the candidate you vote for is W.
Rus Smith, and not W. F. Smith.

Tomorrow the Republicans will
hold their primary election for
the purpose of selecting candi-
dates for the various county Of
fees in this county. We want to
say right here that while the Re-
publicans in National affairs have
a good snug majority in this coun-
ty, we honestly believe the time
is past in the county when the
Republicans can elect any man
who secures the nomination on
that ticket. The people Of this
county are fast learning to vote
for their own interests in local af-
fairs, and that is certainly the
proper thing for intelligent men
to do.
For Sheriff, so far as Sisters
vile is concerned, we believe the
bulk of the vote here will be cast
tomorrow for Ben Shriver for
Sheriff. The business men here
especially recognize Shriver as a
good safe man. AS a deputy he
has never been excelled in collect
ing and getting in every cent of
taxes that it was possible to col
lect. He is a self-made man, and
has accumulated some property
by hard work, close application
and economy. The people know
that with Shriver for Sheriff the
financial affairs of the county are
safe. Besides this, our people
have some local pride. Shriver
has his home in this city. He will
continue to live here, and the
money received from the office Of
Sheriff will remain here. We
have never in the history of the
county had a Sheriff who was a
resident of this city. Our bust
ness men think it is time we had
at least one county officer. Shri-
yer will have the majority here
and a good big majority when the
votes are counted tomorrow night.
We know other candidates will
receive some votes, but there is
no doubt whatever about the con-
test being Shriver against the
field, and he is leading with big
odds in his favor.
Some of the candidates from
the county have spent considera-
BILE cash here trying to create a
boom for themselves, but it has
been a failure. Several schemes
have been worked to buncoe the
gentlemen from the interior. One
man, if reports are true, has APP
parently transacted a very good
business in the way OF writing
life insurance for all the candl-
dates who would be gulled. The
agent, so the story goes, would
agree to furnish certain votes if
the candidate would insure with
him. Two or more were taken in
on the bunco game.
One or two men who are well
known Democrats have succeeded
in securing quite a snug sum Of
cash for their Republican intu-
ence. They have no vote even,
but the candidates have given
them some good cash, if the re-
ports are true. They should be
indicted.
Other supposed Republican
leaders have taken cash for their
influence from all candidates who
were green enough to put up the
cash. The cash seems to have
been quite plentiful.
Talking about sin, vice, wick
edness and immortality in Sisters
vile. We did think we were
quite wicked. We thought we
knew something about spending
money here and buying votes.
Our friends in the county have
accused us of being bad so long
we actually thought We lead in
the matter of corruption in poll
ties, but since our holy brethren
from the interior of this county
have been running for an office

Gas


How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
Of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine"
Well, they buy it. In a little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot Of
fxtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking Of buying an engine,
as we can prove TO you that it ID
the simplest engine built, and We
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the fStoner," as it
gives them but little work.

WASHINGTON, April Sensation
