county. On the local ticket there
Is usually much more disposition tc
vote mixed tickets and it is well fol
the voters to study the situation
well before deciding this year oil
their vote. In the senatorial and
representative districts the repubH
can candidates are both for the
first time on either party ticke,
residents of Prowers county. A
are both old time residents of this
section, coming here before Prov
ers county was created. and staying
through all the trials of building
up this section. They have been
for many years deeply interested
in farming and irrigation, and
probably no members of the next
legislature will be better acquaint-
ed than they are with the many
agricultural problems that interest
the Colorado farmers. Matters OF
great importance in this line are
coming up at the next session and
1t Is important to have able anG
experienced men to assist in solv-
ing them. Their election should be
only a matter of majority.
For county clerk the republican
candidate is Chas. F. Hoag, at
present holding the office and
whose record for efficiency and ac-
curacy in his work is ac-
knowledged even by his enemies to
be superior to any one who has
held that important office. Mr..
Hoag has been for years a farmer
In the Big Bend valley and was
one of the founders of the town
of Wiley. He has been promin-
ent figure in the upbuilding of the
county and as a public official al
ways accommodating and watohful
of the interests of the county. He
has Justly earned another term.
For treasurer John o. Stream of
May Valley Is our candidate. Mr.
Streams name has always been
associated with progress and ad-
vancement in Prowers county. AS
q farmer and a public spirited cit
isen he has always been in the
front ranks and has always been
held IN the highest esteem by the
republican party for his faithful
work. He has never before been
In politics for his own benefit and
even this year was almost dragged
In by his friends. He will make a
splendid officer and deserves the
support of the voters at the cleo
ton.
John A. Simpson. candidate for
sheriff. has done more for the
maintainance OF good order and
peace in Prowers county than any
other police officer this section of
the state has ever known. Always
ready for duty. always alert and
fearless he has made his name a
terror to criminals, and 1t would
be almost suicidal folly on the
part of the voters to turn him
down, but there is no danger. The
only question Is just how near un-
animous they will make IL.
w. H. Wheelock for assessor is
the present incumbent of the Of
flee and during the past two years
has proved his ability to take hold
OF the many difficult problems in
that office and treat them with
fairness and justness to everyone.
He was one of the popular candi-
dates two years ago. and this time
has made many new friends. SO
that his election is only a question
Of majority.
For ten years previous to his
elevation to the office Of county
superintendent of schools Chas. G..
Smeltz had been one of the leading
educators of the county. having
taught in several of the large dis
tricts and always with credit to
himself. He has served four years
as the head of the school system
of the county, and that period has
been marked by wonderful advance
;ment in educational lines. much of
which has been due to his energy
and care. He is again asking the
suffrages of the people and is GER
tainly deserving of their support.
TIA office or oouniy commission
er is one of the most important
that the people elect. and the peo-
pie of the central district of the
county promised the republican con
veution four years ago that they
had a good business man for the
Job in s. c. Gregory. He was
elected and has made good. giving

county are vitality interested in his
