FOR SHERIFF.
Elihu W.. Altman, of Riverside
township, is another of the pioneer
sons who has been honored by nomi-
nation for an Office of Importance by
the party of progress, the party of
voters. The Allmans were pioneers
of the county thirty years ago, have

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
Mrs. Eva p. Jones is the only nomi-
nee for this office and will be elected
to succeed herself without doubt, not
alone because she has no opposing
candidate but because one good term
deserves another. Mrs. Jones' ex-
perience and qualifications are well
known and further comment is I'M
necessary she should receive,
and we have no doubt she will re-
ceive handsome vote.
COUNTY SURVEYOR.
There is but one nomination for
this Office, Hudson Harlan, who has
held the Office the last few years and
who has proven himself to be espe-
cially proficient in the work of the
Office for which he was fitted by spe-
cial study in college, and to which he
has added much by field training and
experience. Mr.. Harlan is particu-
larly just, careful and accurate-the
kind of officer who should have charge
of the work of this Office which be-
comes more and more important as
the old boundary marks become more
difficult of location and real estate
becomes more and more valuable. He
was homesteader in Wilcox town
ship twenty-six years ago, has served
the public in many ways and has al
ways been found worthy of conf
dence Vote for Harlan.
CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT.
G. E. Ridgway is another of the
substantial pioneer sons of the county.
For more than thirty years he has
been a resident of Ogallah township
where he is property owner and tax
payer. He is the present clerk of the
district court for Trego county, has
been very careful and attentive to
the Office, and it has been said by
those who have had opportunity to
to know and are qualified to judge
that he is one of the best, if not the
very best, district clerk in the whole
district consisting of six counties,
There is no opposing nomination and
he should receive the compliment of
a unanimous vote.
HIGH SCHOOL TRUSTEE.
This is an important but non
partisan position and should always
be regarded. We are supporting
Frank Eaton in the eastern district,
r. c. Wilson in the central, and
Chas. w. Kirby in the western, re-
gardless of their political Affiliations,
and should be reelected. There are
no opposing candidate.

John McNaughton of Ogallah town
ship is the fourth pioneer son of
the county who has been honored this
year by nomination on the Republi-
can ticket Thirty years residence
and being a property owner and tax
payer is an evidence of qualification;
to this add his Scotch wit and thrift
ness and we have an ideal candidate
for county commissioner. He de-
serves the support of every voter in
