THE PIE EATERS.

@N
chine would convey to this enlight-
ened public that the republican can
didates are the public pie eaters" of
the age. Let us look into this mat.
ter and sift the wheat from the chaff.
George R%eiehers, candidate for
treasurer. has been a resident of the
county for forty odd ears and has
NEVER held an elective office.
Roy Daggett is an old resident of
the county, and in the past year has
seen more hard luck than any man
within her border, and has NEVER
aspired for an office. Even at this
time it took the combined efforts of
numerous friends to get him into
the race.
A. II. Scott, candidate for county
Judge, has NOT held a county office
for twelve years.
II has been ten years since w. p.
Fergus was sheriff of this county,
and we never had a better or more
conscientious official.
F. NJ. Boss was born in this coun-
ty nearly forty years ago and has
NEVER held an elective office. Four
years as register of deeds would not
spoil him.
When the republican party selected
Albert Sargent as their candidate,
they were not looking for a smooth
politician-if so. they made a poor
choice. But they did select a man
who has always taught a good school
and would make a capable county
superintendent. This is the first time
he has ever been before the people
asking their franchise.
DIR. G. w. Reneker has held SO
many inquests over the democratic
defeat. and does 1t so nicely and
kindly, that even the opposition
would not do without him in the ca.
pacity of coroner.
Now let us look at the other side
of this picture:
John IL. H~utchings has NEVER
LET LOOSE since he got his first
toe hold" some ten years ago, on
the county board. From there he
tumbled into the county clerks of
flee and has held that four years
How he would smile one of those
smiles that never rubs off" if the
voters would give him a pull at the
~treasurer's office for about four years
He would her be ready to join his
landed interests in another state
where he is planting every dollar he
a ave from his public salary, and
be in perfect form to serve the dear
people there until the end of time
IL necessary.
George w. Morris never has beer
able to get further with the machine
than a deputyship. which he has held
for two terms in the t%reasurer's
office, also one term under the
Wyatt administration. The machine
tried to shake him for the nomina
tion this time, but he wouldn't stand
tied.
Judge Gagnon has presided over
the county court SO long that the
democratic machine think Pontius
Pilates overcoat would not make him
a vest and justice could not be met
ed out unless he be continued at the
helm another twelve years.
w. T. Fenton has had four years a.
sheriff and applies for another.
l.. c. Edwards has been recorder
of deeds for four years and would
make it eight if the voters of the
county are willing.
T. J Oliver has been suporintond-
ent of the schools for two terms and
could stand another without produc.
ing heart failure.
DR.. NJ. l.. Wilson makes his first
appearance before the public in coun-
ty affairs, but as he was mayor of
Humboldt one term, we think that
sufficient public burden, for a time at
least.
The voter can carefully scan the
RECORD of the two tickets and con
clude who is the chronic office seek
er.
