ALVIN BUCKLIN's CANDIDACY.

There Is no quality in the makeup
i of an individual quite so admirable
as honesty. II man is honest he is
creditable. That is the doctrine that
has been taught every school boy,
since we had common country.
Andrew Jackson was a gruff indi-
viduai, he had little time to play mt
being pleasant, his was IL stern life,
but beneath his rough exterior there
was the softness of heart of a woman.
He was sentimental, gallant and
brave. Did anyone deny the great
ability, of Andrew aJckson and hold
il against him, because he happened
to be little gruff.
The only criticism we have heard
of the candidacy of Alvin Bucklin, so
far in this campaign is that he is
brusque and somewhat grun.
Not one word have we heard ques-
tioning his honesty.
Not one word against his splendid
ability to perform the duties of the
Office to which he aspires.
Not one word against his integrity.
Not one word against his executive
| capacity In business.
Not one word that would presume
to compare his capacity to fulfill the
duties of that office, with that of his
opponent
But he is brusque in his manner,
said the critic.
Well so has been many another
man, great in the counsels of the ma
ton.
We don't acknowledge that the ac-
cusation is true. We never found
him so. We like n quick spoken man.
We like man who does not hem and
haw about some little question put
to him for answer without going
home and asking his wife, his daddy
and mother and all the relatives be-
fore giving you an answer We like,
admire In fact, n man whom you can
1 'hieA ~ t'ht hh Opf'a'Oh upon
and back up his opinion by well di-
rected argument.
You more than often find that
/ kind of man one that you can tie to
in time of distress.

his colleagues If he is not as square
as rule can make him.
II really does make one n little
tired sometimes 10 hear some petty
objection made to man, who real
ly is n man. The best judges of hui
man nature in the world are women
the ration of their intuition TO that of
man Is about as nine to one, and yon
won't find one woman in n thousand
who would give a frayed feather from
her bonnet for milk and water indi-
ividual.
Don't let Mr.. BuclSlin's brusque-
ness worry you. He is the most aP-
proachable man in the whole COM
munity.. He actually bushes when
\ approached by women. Nor is this n
new characteristic for man of parts.
They all blush, 1t is hopeful sign
that they can blush.
| On the other hand you can find
thousand dilletantes who can ap-
proach woman as if they We're the
sole lords of creation and that n
woman should feel entirely confused
at their approach. who are not
worth the powder to bblow them up.
No! No! Don't lie us get fright
ened by Il candidate who Is real
man. Let us have some one in the
| office of clerk and recorder who
can answer about all the questions
that will be asked of him. without
referring TO some guide book.
| Wen stand sponsor for Mr.. Buck
lin"s brusqueness leaving him. II
youelect him TO this most important
office. which we know you Will.
A candidate whom the public can
| find to have no greater objection than
has been offered against MIR. Buck
lin. and that point being one raised
only with few. the friends of Mr..
Bucklin not recognizing him in the
role of being a brusque individual,
we think that it should be recon-
mendation than otherwise.
