The DAY OF election Is raP1o1y ap-
preaching and as the time draws
near indications point towards a
large republican majorities for all
candidates. !
~ While there has been some op-
position to R. e. Dunn it is largely
due to those of his own party too
quickly giving way to their feeling
of disappointment in convention
results. Expressions were made
without thought =. of the attitude
placed the speaker and when the
time comes the value of supporting
party candidate and Dunn's ability
will be given serious and favorable
consideration and the vote cast tor
Mr.. Dunn.
Congressman McCleary's exper-
fence inspires confidence which will
result in his carrying the district
In county candidates we come to
argument where the ''goodfellow"
politics is the qualification con-
sidered to large extent. In this
campaign we don't know of a re-
publican or democrat that ism a
''good fellow" This argument is
always used by those in the minor
ity that they may influence what
votes they can their way. One
stgood fellow" in Office is just as
good as another but no better.
There are only few questions that
should determine which candidate
should receive the voters support.
Competentcy, party. and character
If the candidate Of our own party is
competent and of good character
there is no reason for voting against
him, or voting for his opponent, or
for leaving blank space opposite
his name ON the ballot. He will
be good fellow when an OPP
portunity .offers. In the election
there should be no east west, north
south, or town. These are matters
that should he settled in the .nomi-
nation. After the nomination it
should be the aim Of every voter to
give the candidate of the party OF
which he aftiliates his hearty sup
port, and not say'I am - but
is a good fellow and will be
hard to beat,'' cant be bsat' or
- will be elected --''lives in
the north side and will get solid
VOTE" These are no arguments
and do no one any good Except to
increase discomfort or unreliability
as to a voters political position.
A county with a good republic an
majority looses it's prestige .and
standing in state and national
politics by electing democrats TO
county Office. The same could be
said of strong democrat counties. |
If republicans with good majority |
permit the election of one or
two democrats year after year they
are making nc. gain. If they permit
the election of an increased number
of democrats one year over another
it indicates loss, but if they can
elect everything it makes record
that indicates a gain.
E. K. Smith is qualified to hold
the Office of treasurer to which he
aspires, and is entitled and deserv-
ing of every republican vote in the
county.
Newton Fauskee has demonstrated
his ability to act as sheriff and
merits your support again.
81 Hawley is fully competent to
discharge the duties Of the Office of
register of deeds, as shown by the
record given of his service with
the railroad in another column.
No more accurate records are re-
CURED than. theirs. That he may
be ensured of having competent az
slstance, in the event of election he
has engaged the services of Miss
Matte Hastings who has been en-
ployed in the Office for over four !
years and no word of criticism has |
been spoken against her. You will |
never have any cause of regret for |
Importing him.
