THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

THE REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATES.
We are giving this week brief refer
ence to the republican county ticket as
nominated at the recent primaries For
the most part it is unnecessary to intro
duce any of the nominees to the public.
They are we'll known, either from hav-
ing before served as county officers or
from long residence in the county.
| STATE SENATOR.
L. E. Highley, republican candidate
for the State Senate, in the 42nd sena-
torial district is a resident of Hot
Springs. Fall River and Custer counties
being in the same district the voters of
both counties will act upon the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Highley. He has been a
resident of Fall River county for num-
ber Of years and although well acquaint-
ed in his county is comparative strang-
er to the voters of Custer. He is making
canvass of the situation and makes
friends wherever he meets the people.
should he be elected he will look after
the interests of his constituency and as
sist in the selection of republican to
! the United States senate.
STATE REPRESENTATIVE.
N. S. Tubbs, republican candidate for
the Legislature enjoys the acquaintance
of almost every voter in Custer County
where he has lived for nearly thirty
years. He has always been actively
engaged in farming and stock raising
but is even alive to the general interests
of the county.
He represented Custer County in the
Legislature of 1905, where he made
record creditible to himself AMI strong
in the interests of his constituents. That
his activity and ability were recognized
was evidenced by his appointm ent on
several very important committees
where he made good. That his exper-
ience will make him still more valuable
in the next Legislature is strong argu
ment for his election at this time.
CLERK OF COURTS.
H. E. Way, the candidate for clerk of
courts is well known to the voters of the
County, hence needs no Introduction
His record in the Register of Deeds
Office for the last four years is sufficient
guarantee of the manner in which the
business of the clerks Office will be con-
l,,o hu oh irin nl
attentive to the wants of the public he
has made himself favorite with all.
Such men are satisfactory officials.
COUNTY JUDGE.
George W. Gaylord, candidate for the
Office of County Judge, is well known in
Custer County. He was elected to this
Office two years ago, and has met the re-
quirements of the Office to the entire
satisfaction Of those who have had in
terests placed in his hands. His careful
and painstaking methods of handling es.
tate matters have secured for him the
full confidence of the people. No doubt
exists as to election.
STATES ATTORNEY.
A. T. Feay, candidate for States Attor-
ney is too we'll known in Custer County
to require an introduction. Having
been resident of the county for almost
thirty years, he is most thoroughly in
Identified with all its interests and is a
valuable counsellor in the business af-
fairs of the taxpayers and officials in the
discharge of their duties. The voters
have no hesitancy in casting their votes
for 80 faithful and efficient an official as
Judge Feay has proven himself to be.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Norman B. Streeter, the republican can
didate for Treasurer, is a resident of
Beaver Valley near Buffalo Gap, where
be has resided for the last 20 years, hav-
ing been engaged in farming and stock
raising. He is considered by all his
neighbors as one of the most substantial
and thrifty citizens of Custer County.
He cannot be termed politician as the
Office for which he received the nomina-
ton was entirely unsolicited by him,
and it was only on the urgings of his
friends that he consented to become Il
candidate. In his case party lines ap-
pear to be obliterated, as the general
impression appears to be that no better
man can be found in either party for
this responsible Office. His election be-
ing assured beforehand, it ~ merely a
question of his majority at the polls.
COUNTY SHERIFF.
Charles Ennis after filling the Office OF
Sheriff for the last two years, was
selected by the Republican party of
this county as their representative for
that Office for the, ensuing term. Dur
