The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1905-10-25
THE COUNTY TICKET.

If any exceptions can be taken to the
Republican ticket of Forest county it
would be interesting to know what those
exceptions would be. The fact is there
are none to offer. Men of all shades OF
political opinion readily concede that the
Republicans have nominated ticket of
exceptional strength and signal ability.
The candidates are all men who are Pc
culiarly fitted to perform the duties Of
the offices for which their party has
named them. All are men of sound
judgment, good intelligence, large ex-
perience in business affairs, exercising
rare discretion in the conduct of their
private business, and are not rattle
headed or visionary in any matter. They
are men of sobriety, good moral charsc-
ter, sterling honesty, and selected from
the best and most conservative citizen
ship of Forest county. These are facts
which every honest voter in the county
will concede, and which no foe can deny.
David B. Shields, the candidate for AS
sociate Judge, is one of our county's best
citizens, every inch man, whose char
acter is without spot or blemish, and who
would adorn the honorable position to
which he sspires. A better selection for
this office could scarcely be made, and
those best acquainted with Mr., Shields
all recognize this fact.
j. C. Geist, the unanimous nominee for
the important Office of Prothonotary, &C.,
has more than proved his fitness for the
place. Forest county has never had a
more competent official in that capacity,
and that is saying good deal for it has
had some very capable men in that Office.
Mr.. Geist is more than competent. He is
obliging and pleasant with all who have
occasion to transact business in the Pro-
thonotary's office, which is no small item
In the account.
A. w. Stroup, the party's choice for
Sheriff, is one of the honest, deserving
home grown boys of Forest county. A
man of good intelligence, self-made, and
who knows what it is to earn his bread
by the sweat of his face. Thoroughly
competent in every respect to perform
the duties of the office of Sheriff, Mr..
Stroup will prove an honor to the county
which has been his home from birth, and
he deserves the vote and earnest support
of every Republican in the county, be-
cause he has been loyal to his party ever
since he has had vote.
Andrew Wolf and Leonard Agnew are
the Republican nominees for County
Commissioner. A better pair of con-
servative, capable and business-like men
could scarcely be found in the county.
Both are men of ripe experience, mature
judgment, strictest honesty, just what is
needed in the Office of County Commits
sioner. They will administer the affairs
of the county in an economical, safe man
ner, with due care for the welfare of the
taxpayers, because they are men who
cannot be swerved an iota from what they
believe to be right and for the best inter-
est of all concerned. With the business
end of the county's affairs in such hands
the people need have no fear of the out
come. A vote for Wolf and Agnew is a
vote for sensible, economical and busi-
ness-like government.
For County Auditors the Republicans
have as their nominees two excellent
men, w. II. Stiles and Chas. f. Kline
silver. The former has had experience
in this office, and better official in that
capacity could not be found. Mr.. Kline
silver will also be found capable and
painstaking official, and with these men
TO go over the county's accounts each
year the taxpayer may rest assured that
the auditing will be properly done, and
that every dollar must be accounted for
before transactions will pass inspection.
Then there is j. b. Eden for Jury Com
missioner, who will prove good Official.
With his extensive acquaintance over the
county, and his thorough manner of do
ing things well, there should be no ques-
ton about the jury list containing the
names of the best and most competent
men for this service.
Vote the Republican ticket straight.
There is no valid reason why you should
not do so. Give no complimentary votes,
for by such you help to defeat your own
party for which you get no credit and for
which you would only feel sore and hate
yourself after you had helped to do it.
