THE COUNTY TICKETS.

LIE yVUVll llLkElS.
The Review has not had great deal
to say concerning the county ticket.
The people of the county are fairly
we'll acquainted with all the candi-
dates and are just as we'll able to
make up their minds as the Review is
to tell them.
The democratic ticket presents to
the people the same old story. If
some Rip Van Wrinkle had gone to
sleep in Crawford county dozen
years ago and should now be suddenly
awakened he could from memory re-
peat the entire democratic ticket all
most as it stands today. All this
points to the fact that there is in
the democratic party an Office hold
combine that seeks, successfully up
to this time, to perpetuate it's self
from year to year. Carey sold the
authorship to Collins. and Collins
made kick about paying the price
at the time. But it was good thing
for Mike after all. He held the
office two terms then was Put out
term and was nominated on the
special plea that he wanted vindic-
alton. He was INDICATED, and now
he is running again. The same is
true of Frank Faul who has ALWAYS
been incompetent as county clerk.
A. D. Randall is making splendid
campaign for Sheriff. He is an ex-
ample of the strong, fearless, honest
type of man who has made his own
way. Never before has he tried to
run for an Office and he is not one of
the chronic Office seekers class as is
his opponent Hank Cummins is a
good fellow in many ways but he has
never shown any get up and git on
his own account. The man who is
able to make a success himself, who
is self-supporting without office,
invariably makes the best official
Lon. Randall is going to have sur
prisingly large vote in nearly every
precinct in the county. The only
theory for the election of Cummings
is that he has been chasing the office
tor long time.
The republicans present Gustav
Buesing of Denison. one of our best
known and most highly respected Ger
man citizens. He is a resident of
Denison and has her interests at
heart. At the same time he has
lived many years on the farm and
knows and appreciates the needs of
the farmers. He is progressive and
enterprisng man, he is not profess
sional Office seeker and if elected he
will serve the people as faithful
steward without having the attain
ment of some other Office constantly
before him. If John Carey is elect
ed it will simply be as stepping
stone to land him in higher office
at the next election. John simply
wants to keep his hand in. If Bry-
an is elected he will be candidate
for the Denison postoffice and if Taft
is elected he will be candidate for
the legislature two years from now.
In the meantime the interests of the
county would be made subordinate
to the interests of Mr.. Carey's per-
petual candidacy.
We wish to call the special atten-
tion of the voters of the county to the
republican candidates for supervis-
or. No part of the republican
ticket is stronger and no part of the
ticket is of more Importance to the
people of the county. 1t is enough
that the treasurer should be honest.
it is enough that the recorder be
accurate, it is sufficient that the Audi
tor be neat and smiling, but the
members OF the board must not only
be honest and accurate but they
must be men of good judgment not
plant politicians eager to carry favor
at the public expense, but upright.
stalwart men, who are not afraid
to say ''No" when it is for the peoples
interest and who do not regard q
public office as a means to perpetuate
themselves only.
Otto Heubner another splendid Ger
man is the candidate from the west
end of the county. If the county
was divided into supervisor districts
Huebner would skin the life out of
Ahart. Ahart has been on the board q
