Office was never more apropos than
at the present writing, and narrow
partisan politics promises to cut
less figure than ever before in the
selection Of county officers SO that
"a brief mention Of the most avail
able ones is here given
JOHN 7. ADKINS
For Treasurer
Mr.. John T. Adkins, the present
guardian of the county's strong
box, is considered by the knowing
ones to be, sure thing for re-
election, he having given the Office
that scrutiny which the people
both admire and respect
GEO. J. IkelMAN ana
G. q. RAY
For Commissioners
The presence of thorough bus

tial to the proper conduct of the

of Mr. George j. Ikelman and Mr..
G. B. Ray for those positions is
meeting with the peoples acclaim

ers county 1t is predicted that
they will run far and away ahead
of their ticket.
HENRY sYP
For Cierk and Recorder
Mr.. Syp is one of the pioneers
of Prowers county and needs no
introduction at our hands. Suffice
it to say that, a vote for Henry
Syp for county clerk is vote for
good government and in his hands
the great books Of Prowers county
will be in safe Keeping. =
MRS. CORA PoLHEMUs
For Supt. Of Schools
1t is well known fact that the
superintendent of schools Of a
county stands as sponsor for our

place in office only those who, by
wide experience, are fitted TO prop
erly care for them. And such a
person is Mrs. Cora Polhemus, who
formerly taught in Lamar.
w. r. FERGUSON
For County Judge
In the person of Mr.. w. P. Fer

IT. LAWLESS.
For Representative
Last but not least III Prowers
county's galaxy is Joe Lawless who
is making an interesting race for
