county commissioner, but NJ candidates

Is names for county offices on the
Republican ballot.
No names appear on the Democratic
primary ballots for three cour ty
ctiices-school superintendent, surveyor
and coroner. For one office, county
clerk, there is but one candidate, w. G.
Boatman, and he is further honored by
having no opponent on the Republican
ballots. This would be equivalent
under the old convention system to
being nominated by both parties, an
exceptional honor, and is due both to
personal popularity and his fitness for
the Office. Two Democrats seek the
nomination by their party for county
judge, two for sheriff, two for treasurer,
three for assessor and two for county
commissioner, making total of IL
names for county Offices on the Demo
cratic ballots.

district will be resident of Wallowa
county ii the Democratic voters Of this
county do their duty Friday.
1t will keep the Hon. d. w. Sheahan
buster to live up to his picture in last
weeks News Record, than to fulfill all
the good things that were said about
him in that same paper. It's lucky for
his opponents the women can't vote.
Gene w. Hall, the candidate for
school superintendent, informs us that,
if he is nominated and elected by the
voters of Wallowa county, he will de.
vote his entire time to the duties of the
office. He also states that he will not
engage in teaching during his term ex-
cept for the purpose of filling vacancies,
and in the latter case his services will
be given without expense to the district.
The standing in his home community
of W. T. Bell, candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for treasurer, is evil
: denced by the favor with which the
mention Of his name for mayor is re-
ceived MIR. Bell came within an ace
Of being elected Treasurer two years
a. o. and his friends are confident that
this time he will have votes to spare.
He is square man in his personal
business, and will see that the county
Is given square deal if be is elected
