and well. During the greater
part of Miss Philbrook's life her
time has been spent in the larg-
est institutions of learning in
Kansas. She holds diplomas
from the State Normal school
and the State Agricultural col
lege, she also finished the scien-
tific course laid down by the
later college. Miss Philbrook
is thoroughly equipped for the
Office to which she aspires, few in
fact are more so. She has been
a teacher for nine years and the
universal satisfaction which she
has given in the Wa-Keeney
schools for three terms is a rec
ommendation in itself. She pos
SesSeS a high christian character
and bears name which any
woman may be proud of. If en-
trusted with the duties of this
important Office there will be no
one who can fill it more honora-
bly, and creditably than Miss
Philbrook
CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT.
G. E. Ridgway, the efficient
clerk, is a candidate for re-elec-
ton. This is another office which
should be filed by a painstak-
ing person and the records of
the office show Mr.. Ridgway to
be such an official. Attorneys,
who are qualified to know, speak
in the highest terms of his work
His reelection is conceded and
only remains for the voters to
approve it on November 3.
SURVEYOR.
Hudson Harlan's experience in
the Office is sufficient reason for
his reelection. AS surveyor of
Trego county Mr.. Harlan has
given excellent satisfaction as he
is careful and painstaking with
his work. He is exceptionally
we'll qualified to hold this import
ant office and the republicans are
particularly fortunate in secur-
ing one so thoroughly equipped
to dischage the duties of this of
fee as Mr.. Harlan. His re-elec-
ton is conceded by all.
CORONER.
Perhaps no office in the county
needs the services of a compe-
tent physician so much as that of
coroner. DIR. Herrick is thor
equipped for this office
being a resident physician of
large practice. He is well known
and well liked by the people and
if elected will prove himself a |
competent and salts
factory official in this capacity.
COMMISSIONER 2ND DISTRICT.
F. B. Walker has been chosen
by the Republicans to represent |
the peoples interests in the com
office from the sec
ond district. In every way Mr.. |
Walker is competent to discharge
the duties entrusted to him in a |
way highly satisfactory to all.
Mr.. Walker is a resident of Wa
Keeney and will have the time to
look after the more minute de-
tails of the office which are so es-
sential to the success of the of
fee. If elected the people will |
have no cause for regret in hav-
ing placed Mr.. w. in office.
COMMISSIONER BIRD DISTRICT.
Robert Briggs has been chosen
from the third district as COM
Mr.. Briggs is well
known to the voters of the third |
district and is admirably fitted
for the duties of this Office. Per
haps no office in the county re
quireS more careful honest men
to discharge it's duties than that
Of commissioner and this re-
quirement is more than met by
Mr.. Briggs. His honor and in
5egrity cannot be questioned,
and his qualifications more than
fit him for the place. He is care
ful and conservative in the man
agement of his own affairs there
fore is capable of managing the
affairs of the Office in way that
cannot fail to please the most ex-
acting. His election will be.no
mistake.
