This ticket was nominated in the Or
der and form as above given. If it is
III anyparticular a formidable ticket
that@light.MBut we will be fair enough
to say that with the material on hand
our friends, the eneny, couldn't i'm
prove upon it much if they were to
make another effort.
We will do Charles E. Manley the
justice to say that he was the only
politically active man nominated. He
is not a strong candidate, though, for
tie reason that he has lived too long
OF Il public, many OF his own party
having come to the conclusion that
he ana his family are too greedy and
have had enough. This is the way
they talked two years ago when they
thought he wanted TO succeed himself
as Clerk of the County Court, and we
haven't heard OF any one changing his
MIND in that regard since that time.
Howard r. Furbee, for the reason
stated, as well as for other reasons,
will greatly surprise him.
Scott C. Lowe ought to be a Repub-

of Grant district and one of the sound
est and best Republicans in the coun.

like his competitor, but he is rather
a slow-going young man, lacking the
dash and political training of Harry
Shaw, and We therefore expect to see
him distanced in the race for Prose
cutting Attorney.
A. NJ. Clover was a candidate for
the House of Delegates two years ago.
OF course, he will fare this year as he
did then. But few people know him,

unable to make acquaintances. In
short he wasn't intended for a poll
tician. He is known simply as a sing
ing master.
H. S. Yost, like Mr.. Glover, is a
stranger to most people of the county.
He practices medicine in Amos and vi
cinity and has figured but little in pol
itics.
F. NJ. Meredith was a member of
the County Court back in the sos. He
next wanted to be Sheriff, but his par
ty didn't want lin ~Dreferring z. G..
Morgan. Mr.. Meredith is a good farm
er and will continue as such, there be-
ing no prospect of his becoming a law
maker.
We don't know E. L.. Thomas, for
Assessor in the Western district. We
dc know, however, who Will be elect
ed to that Office. His name is A. J.
Mcdaniel.
Seymour Mclntire, for the Eastern
bat his name is on the wrong ticket,
hence Gilbert Holbert will attend to
the job Seymour wants.
j. C. Burchinal was a former Coun-
ty Commissioner, yet it doesn't follow
that he will be such again. He is a
Democrat OF long standing-so long,
indeed. that the people want a young
er man and will elect c. P. Moore.
W. S. Prickett was nominated for
County Surveyor simply because they
didn't know of any n else who would
have the place.
Taking it all in all the ticket will
certainly be regarded generally as an
ordinary one. This is the way Re-
publicans look at it. The latter,
knowing their strength, view it with
the limos com~placency. h feeling
is largely due to the fact that in addi-
ton TO their strength they have the
ballot-boXeS and election machinery,
knowing to a certainty hat
their votes will be ounte as cast.
