The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1910-09-08
JUST OUR own HUMBLE OPINION
Our Choice Nay Not Be Yours, but WIN
should |! Be

votes II office. However il wasn't
so mieh mat q majority of those
talked 70 We're for Buffers that con-
vihceu Us as it was the evidence that
Mr.. HemmI had misrepresented the
facts WIN he said he had the un-
animous hdorsement of his precinct
Thefe NaS no need t. claim more
than he had.
Our Aen worked chiefly in Mr..
Hemmis neighborhood. Mr.. Buffers
friends Say that in other parts of the
Ten Mile precinct Mr.. Buffers will
get two votes to Mr.. Hemmi's one.
As neatiy as We can find out Mr..
Buffers Is also as well if not better
quslfied Tor the office than either of
his opponents, There is not a word,
that we have heard against his char
acter. We believe he will make a
G cd commissioner.
For Superintendent We have made
no deflnit- choice for the reason that
we have had no opportunity to talk
to any-ne but W. D. Gillen. We met
Miss Keeler, but happened to be busy
at the time and did not have a talk
with her. Mrs. Dunn We have never
met. Boil ladies' are highly spoken
of. Mr.. GlIlen impresses us as a very
capable young man. The more We See
him and talk with him the better we
like him. We believe it would be as
we'll to have man in the office as
to have lady there. We are rather
of tie opiai-n that MIR. Gillen has the
lead for tie nomination. He has
made a Very thorough canvass of the
county.
We heard last week that one OF
the lady candidates had told her
friends that she would be a candidate
regardless IF h-w the primaries went
We are ready to say now that the
Tribune does not favor that sort OF
politics even in a woman. If women
want to take an equal place with men
in politics they should at least play
fair Ii Mr. Gillen is defeated at the
primaries and comes up as an inde'
pendent candidate the Tribune VII
say hs is playing dirty politics:
We have always felt vess 'o
towards Sheriff Van zsnot

Asaan- The most We can laArl
against Van zandt II that he faile'
70 Keep friendly with either Of tn
daily lapers in Bellsngham. OF cours
1t was impossible for him to be friend
ly with b-th OF them. Neither vii
permit an official to be friendly will
the otAer II it can help it. How
ever Van got out with both paper
and fl year both papers have roast
I'd him in and out Ct season. Tn
Tribune doesn't pay enough attention
% the opinion Of either paper to lie
hat en- any figure. Honestly W.
1on't Ia 'ieve our readers d. either
We don Know anything about Nj
N''liams except that he has beei
sheriff once 'ueiure and that + ha.
several friends throughout the count,
We understand that Charley Lind
berry has In Opponent for the engineer
office, but he has made a good engin
Ter, and We believe will be renomina
led. We believe he is worthy OF tn
support of the tax payers, and W
know IL is a capable man.
We are not personally acquainte'
with either of the candidates f.
coroner 0r for assessor. We like tn
appearance of DR.. Wear, and expec
10 vote = him. John S. Smith i
said to be capable assessor and W
expect to vote for him.
AS to gislators--ttere is the rut
We like Hoff's appearance and tall
We are going vote r him becaus
ne impresses us as straight for
ward honest young man who is hkel

nave some very flattering recommen
dations for ". H. T. Barnes, of Blain
