sTRONe TICKII FROM IOP 70 BOTToN

The poll OF the county which is being
taken under the supervision Of Chairman
Elmer Smith Of the republican county cen
trial committee indicates Increased majori-
ties for the candidates on the republican
county ticket this year. Reports from all
sections of the county indicate the election
OF the entire republican ticket, said Chair
man Smith yesterday. The democrats this
year had pinned their faith on the prospect
OF split in the republican ranks. but this
split has not materialized to any material
extent. Naturally as Mr.. Smith said, there
are some sore heads both amons the stand
patters and the Cummins faction but they
are not nearly as numerous as the demo-
Gratis figured they would be.
''The republican countX ticket" said MT.
Smith, lis a splendid one from top to
bottom and every candidate on II has the
confidence Of the people. Take, for In
stance, Sheriff Canning, County Attorney
! Hess County Auditor Cheyne and, H. v,
Battey. clerk Of the district court. Where
could you get better men for the Offices
which they have held the last two years"
They are capable men of integrity. and
have conducted the affairs Of their re-
speotive offices In business like manner.
Mr. Canning. IL is generally conceded, is
one Of the best sheriffs Pottawattamie
county ever had. He has surrounded him
self with able deputies and the record of
| his ONCE is an absolutely clean one. The
same is true OF the other candidates seek
/ ing reelection this fall There is no reason
why they should not have the support OF
the republican party and I feel assured
they will.
MIR. MiteheII's Campaign.
1T Is very gratifying to note the favor
with which the candidacy OF James W.
Mitchell the nominee for county treasurer
has been received throughout the county
This is Mr. Mitchells first appearance as
candidate for office, but he has made
strong personal campaign and reports
from all sections Of the county show that
he. has made friends which, OF course.
means votes wherever he has gone.
expect TO see Mr.. Mitchell elected by a
good majority. We will elect all the can
didates for members OF the Board OF Su-
pervisors without any doubt. The record
made by Messrs Baker, Bulls, Spencer
ana Sets insures their reelection by the
farmers Of Pottawattanie county. They
have conducted the affairs Of the county
in an economical and business like man
ner T. ]. Johns. the new candidate for
! member OF the board, is one of the
4 progressive farmers Of the county and
has the full confidence of all who know
him"
Former City Solicitor s. b. Snyder. the
republican candidate for Judge OF the SUI
perior court, is making an active cam
pRign, and his. friends feel assured 9f his
1 election. Mr.. Snyder enjoys a wide ac-
duaintancs in the city and can count his
friends by the hundreds AS city solicitor
he made an enviable record and evidenced
that he was well fitted for the position
which he now seeks. While not politician
in the accepted meaning of the term, Mr..
Snyder has always stood high in the coun-
ellis OF the republican party.
Democrats Are Active.
While everything points 20 a republican
victory again this fall in Pottawattamie,
It cannot be overlooked that the demo-
Gratis have this year been waging a more
than usual campaign. Some OF the lead
ing members OF the party are like Chair
man Casady Of the democratic county cen
trail committee-optimistic enough to
prophesy the election Of their county
ticket.
Chairman Cassidy, when asked as to his
opinion of the political outlook In the
county. said: while we are not making
T. extravagant predictions still / consider
the chances for a complete democratic
victory are exceedingly bright Our county
ticket is a good one and It is about time
for change in the management OF OUT
county affairs. These changes occur every
so often, and, as the republicans have
been In absolute control now for so many
years. / feel safe in venturing the predic.
J. ton that the people of Pottawattamie
county are ready for change now. That
this is the case believe the results or
November will demonstrate. The normal
republican majority in this county il
not so great that It cannot be overcome
and this We hope 10 do this year"
