DOUBLE RUNAWAY.

Wednesday afternoon horse belong

being driven to their runabout by their
colored driver became excited and ran
away. Coming from toward home as
he turned the corner around the post
office, the vehicle struck the telephone
post, where it was left, as the horse
broke loose. This frightened the team
belonging to the MauIy Implement
Company, whlch was standing in
front of their store, and they took off
down South Main street without a
driver, unloading partially the wagon
to which they were attached. They
ran into a telephone post near MI.
Sam TWINS, where they we're caught.
The tongue and double tree was
broken but the horses we're uninjured.

w. r. TOWNE,
For County Judge.

Professor R. H. Watson, prin-
cipal of the Valentine high school,
nominated Judge w. R. Towne to
succeed himself as probate Judge.
Judge Towne's efficient service in
that Office tor the past nine years
was sufficient guarantee of his fit
ness for the place and he was nomi-
mated without opposition. Those
who rate an office by the salary it
pays will pay little or no attention
to the Office of probate Judge, but
those who rate an office by it's i'm
portance to the public will take a
deeper interest in this than in any
other to be filled this fall. 1t is
true that the income is very small
but when it is remembered that
every estate, great or small, must
some time pass through this court;
that sooner or later the holdings of
every citizen, the title to every
piece of land, may be effected by
the records made up and preserved
in the probate court, the public
will see the Importance of having
in this Office man who is able to
keep these records straight. They
will see the necessity of having
probate Judge who has had some
training for the work and some
experience in office work.

A. G. WARD,
For County Clerk.

MIR. Mcdaniel placed the name
of A. G. Ward, of Woodlake, be-
fore the convention for county
clerk and he was also nominated
by acclamation. MIR. Ward has
been engaged in the stock business
south of Woodlake for good
many years. He has the educa-
ton required for this position.
But few men write better hand
or are more expert on books. He
has never shifted his political sails
to catch favoring wind, believ-
ing in democratic principles, he
has had the courage of his convic-
tons and has never changed his
politics to further his chance for
public place.

p. F. SIMONS.
For Sheriff.

For the office of sheriff there
had been mere or less rivalry be-
tween the supporters of D. w.
Hilsinger and p. F. Simons. The
fact that it almost broke the ma
chine" to bring about the nomina-
ton of H. S. Savage for this Of
flee by the republican convention
and that number of the republic
can veterans we're turned down
that this pet of the republican
machine" might have the place
and that many of the ablest party
workers had openly declared that
they never would support Savage,
made the nomination for this office
the prize of the convention.
Frank Fischer nominated Mr..
Simons, and Lee Shepard nomi-
mated Mr.. Hilsinger, but before
ballot was taken Mr.. Hilsinger
arose, and, in nice little speech
in which he thanked his friends
for their support he withdrew
his name and asked that Mr.. ST.
mons be made the unanimous
nominee of the convention. This
was done with whoop and Simons
was called out for speech of &C
ceptance. Pete responded by tell
ing the convention that he had lived
and worked in Cherry county
since 1886. That he had never
been seeker after office, but some
how or other he had repeatedly
been candidate for village hon
ors and had always been elected. |
Up to date he had not known de- |
feat but if it should come he would |
accept the result with good grace,
out if he met with his old time
success he would give the Office
;he best service within his power.
He said he would Immediately ar
'ange his business so that he might
levote all his time to the campaign
md that he was going out to work
until the polls close in November.
Time and time and again Mr..
'imons has been elected to the vii |

erence does it make to what political
party we belong?
l might say the same of all the
county officers: What does it matter
if they are republican. democrat. in
dependent or prohibitionist so long
as they are honora BILE, upright men
of good will and character? And
nones.can deny that we find snch in all
parties.
You all doubtless remember that in
the summer We had vacancy in this
office and at that time worthy gen.
leman, a member of the republican
party, and one who, | presume, knew
whereof he spoke, said to me, call
that stands between you and the
SUPPLEMENTARY nowis your politics. ;"
If politics stood between me and it
then, l can only say I trust they may
not again, and add that no political
or religious convictions should stand
in the way of duty, but would have
little use, little indeed, for a person
who could change his politics for the
purpose of securing an office. I as
sure you, however, [ was exceedingly
glad that it was on no other grounds
that the objection to me was found
ed, because, as [ said before, think
the time is coming soon when county
officers will be elected without re-
gard to party.
And so you see it is this thong hit,
principally, that encourages me to
accept.
And since | believe in doing every
thing that undertake to the best of
nv ability, this will be no exception.
[ will make the very best fight that I
can: without detracting from the
merits af any other candidate, I shall
respectfully solicit the votes of all:
secure the election if possible and, if
successful, endeavor to serve the peo-
Pile that none who vote for me shall
regret it.

DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.
Biggest and Best Held in
Cherry County for
Ten Years.
STRONG TICKET NAMED

Last Saturday, the democrats
of Cherry county held the biggest
and most enthusiastic convention
that they have held within the past
ten years. There were delegates
present from the -four corners"
of the county and everyone brought
words of cheer and encouragement.
1t was real old time democratic
convention in which the people had
representation and there was no
click to dictate the organization of
the convention and no boss to name
ticket. The convention was
organized by electing Judge W.
r. Towne chairman and Professor
r. II. Watson secretary. The
usual committees were appointed
and the convention adjourned until
1:3O p. NJ, when it reassembled.
The temporary organization was
made permanent and the delegates
listened to the reading of the reso-
lutions by |. M. Rice. In clear
and unequivocal language the con-
vention endorsed the last demo-
cratic state platform, which was
published in this paper last week.
1t declared its opposition to the
present law creating county
assessor and placing in the hands
of one man the power to run con-
ventions; name candidates and foist |
his family, brothers-in-law and |
cousins upon the people. 1t en-
dorsed the splendid record of Hon.
w. r. Towne as county judge and
commended him to the public as
an official who has displayed splen
did ability and the most sterling
integrity.
After the adoption of the reso-
tions the convention preceded to
nominate a county ticket.

it could afford to take no chances
in the treasurer's office Oh man
hwose own friends made no
stronger claim for him than that
Of good penmanship. That the
man who was to handle the coun-
tvs money should be man who
had made a success of his own
business. That Mr.. Quible an
swered this requirement. That he
was one of the substantial stock
men of Merriman precinct and
possessing the confidence of his
neighbors without regard to party
affiliations. Mr.. Quible was nomi-
mated by reclamation.

DAN BARNES,
For Com. End District.

| When the convention proper
had finished it's work, the delegates
from the End commissioner dis
trict got together and nominated
for commissioner for that district
Fernando T. Barnes, DIETER known
as Dan Barnes of Newton. Dan
Barnes is so we'll known that it is
not necessary to dwell upon him
or to point out his qualification.
He is one of the first settlers in
the south western part of the
county and has been engaged in
the live stock business so long that
he may be certainly be called
pioneer. He has made a success
of the stock business and what the
county wants in the office of COM
missioner is a man of mature
years. A man who has had ex-
perience on his own account and
has learned the value of money.
He is not only personally popular
but he is possessed of the qualities
required of q commissioner.
The following county central
committee was named and the con-
vention then adjourned:

JOHN w. MCDANIEL,
For County Surveyor.

Mr.. Mcdaniel has been engaged
extensively in surveying. He has
not only the theoretical training
but the practical experience in the
work which a county surveyor
ought to have. 1t is one thing to
have taken a course in school and
another thing to put your know
ledge to use in the field, and Mr..
Mcdaniel has had the advantage
of experience in the field.

DIR. A. N. COMPTON,
For Coroner.

The ticket was completed by the
nomination of DR.. A. n. Compton,
Valentines leading physician and
surgeon, for coroner, and John
w. Mcdaniel, of Woodlake, for
surveyor. DR.. Compton has held
the office of coroner before and
showed his ability and honesty by
an honest discharge of his duties.

ERNEST B. QUIBLE,
For County Treasurer.

Ernest B. Quible, of Merriman,
was placed in nomination for the
Office of county treasurer by Hon.
Z. Sullivan. Mr.. Sullivan said
that in no office more than in the
Office of treasurer did the interests
of the people require man of
high character, of sound judgment
and good executive ability. That
in years gone by the county had
suffered because of carelessness in
selecting public servants. That

MRS. l.. CRAMER,
For Supt. Public Instruction

Mrs. Lottie Cramer was nomi-
mated for school superintendent by
Professor Watson, who said that it
had been reported that the demo-
Gratis had no candidate for this
possessing the required qualifica-
tons under the new law. This he
said was a mistake; that Mrs.
Cramer held a first grade certifi-
cate which entitled her to teach
anywhere in the state or to hold
the Office of superintendent. She
graduated from the Valentine
high school and had seven years
practical experience as a teacher
in this county. She was also given
a unanimous nomination. When
called before the convention she
res bonded with tn e following
speech:
Mr.. Chairman, Members of the Con-
vention:-
How deeply thankful l am for the
honor you show me, [ cannot tell, for
[ haven't the words with which to ex-
press my heartfelt gratitude 1t
makes me feel glad that after lapse
of ten years, during which time [
have lived right among you, being er-
gagged in educational work, you deem
me worthy of this responsible position
l cannot make any fashionable speech
of thanks and acceptance, neither
will [ attempt to eXalt the political
party which does me so much honor.
because | am not politician enough |
for that, but [ have few things to |
say that [ deem it best YOU should !
know. The fact Of the matter is, |
did not know until two weeks ago to-
lay that you cared to use my name,
and then | thought seriously of de-
Ginning: but in the past few days
friends from both parties have cone
to me and urged and finally persaud-
I'd me to accept.
Gentlemen: | realize, and so do you,
he vast majority of the republican
party in our county; hence we cannot
lelp but also realize how very differ
mt the result of this acceptance may
De on the 7th of Novem Der from what
We might wish it, and for this reason
was 10th to accept. But on the
'ther hand in reviewing the votes
asst two years ago | found that |
vent far ahead of the ticket on which
was placed. This was indeed en-
for it convinced me that
he mem bers of this party were Ger /
AMY loyal, for which [ am deeply
thankful. 1t also convinced me that
received many votes over and above 3
hose cast bv this party, and it is for
hose votes That | am especially |
thankful, for they must have been
lst by men who had honor enough to {
o to the polls and overcome their |
city prejudice and vote for person I
nd not for party. I
And | DO truly believe that each
ear brings us nearer that ideal time
ben county Offices will not be carried
ITO politics. Teas hers, educators

opposed to carry their political COM I
lotions into their teachings or their L

that no one remembers when he

ton. He is not only a vote getter
but he is a faithful, conscientious
