tried man not substantially identified
with tho material interests of this com
munity and countys. Taxpayers have
way of looking to their own best in
terests and the advancement of the
county, and for that reason they will
retain Dan Williamson in Office another
two years.
Then there is the county recorder,
an important Office. A young man is
now filling it, with the assistance of
two capable young ladies who do the
work. We have never heard any par
ticular complaint about his manner of
conducting the Office except that he does
not stay in his Office as much as he
should; but we do not consider that a
just criticism. In these days of type.
writers, the work is largely mechanical
copying, and Ed. Stewart may not know
how to run n typewriter. He attends
TO the other work, however, so far as
man to succeed him. He is Bert Huffer.
Burt was brought up TO work and work
hard and long hours-he is not afraid
of it. He can run n typewriter, too,
and we have grave doubts lest his in
dustry and 'gallantry will forbid any
work at all on the part of the ladies in
his Office. At any rate, Bert Huffer
will be on hand from early until late.
He was reared on a ranch, he has
worked on the range riding after cattle,
and in the mines as miner. OF late
years he has been in clerical positions,
and is amply qualified to fill this respon
sible position.
Space forbids us an exhaustive re
view along these lines today. However,
we want to direct your attention to
the Office of Probate Judge. ella eoun-
ty is probably the only county in Ari-
IONA that elects a layman instead of
an attorney TO this Office. Why should
we do it7 Is il not judicial position
requiring judicial mind, capable and
trustworthy in the presence of difficult
legal matters that daily arise. The title
to every tract of land some day passes
through the probate court-not in our
lifetime, but the process is in due course
now and you know not when your estate
may go there for probation. Tom Elan
nigan is safe, honorable and compe-
tent. He is progressive attorney and
win give the Office the best administra-
tion it ever had.
l.. l.. Henry is the proper man for
district attorney to succeed himself. He
has had many years experience as an
attorney at law and criminal proseeu-
tor and his record here speaks for itself.
Walter Shute is deserving young man,
but the republican candidate has had
many more years of experience and is
more familiar with the affairs of the
county, which the taxpayers should take
into consideration. We adhere to our
claim that l.. l.. Henry is deserving of
the support of the people and we believe
he will succeed himself as district at
torney of ella county.
, We advance Bert Pratt for justice
of the peace and ask the voters to retire
one of the present justices. The least
capable should 60, and Bert Pratt
should take his place for he is capable
to give the city the good service in
this capacity. Sabourin and Clark are
the candidates of the republican party
for constables and they should receive
the full support of the party workers
and voters.
William Ryan should succeed himself
as member of the board of supervisors
for the very reason that he has given
good service. William Butler retires in
favor of Lyman C. Woods, a man well
qualified to succeed him. Both of them
are worthy of the support of all tax
payers and voters generally i'm the
county.
