with what constitutes the rights and |
privileges of every citizen from an
enlightened western legal standpoint
that few if any mistakes will be
made in his legal career as district
attorney if they place him in that
official capacity.
E. V. HORTON.
Mr.. Horton is a young man of pro-
nounced ability, and has for several
years resided in this county. For
several years he studied in the law

PROBATE JUDGE.
Here again two well known ones
aspire for political fame and feath-
ers.
THEODORE SHIRLEY.
Judge Shirley came to Clifton six
teen years ago and for the most of
that time has resided at Metcalf,
where he served as justice of the
peace for several years. Four years
ago he was elected probate judge of
Graham>county and led his ticket by
over hundred votes. He filled the
office with credit, and with the ex-
perience he then gained is amply
qualified to attend to all matters
coming before him in this important
position.
L. F. SwEETING.
Here is a man who has never asked
for an office from his party to which
he has always been an ardent ad-
herent, of course he has been sent to
several county conventions, where he
was generally heard. Mr.. Sweeting
has resided near Clifton for several
years and is known as an honorable
gentleman in all his dealings, and as.
to qualification there are none better
to perform what is expected from an
official who occupies the probate
judges chair.
COUNTY SUPERVISORS.
PAY your money and take your
choice' as Col. LaFave says. Here
are FIVE staunch democrats who think
they can take care of the affairs of
the new county aud watch oyer the
whole works and see that shafts are
sunk into the county exchecquer.
J. H. T. cosPER.
Mr.. Cosper lives on the Blue, where
he is largely interested in land and
cattle, and is a citizen that any coun-
ty should be proud to have as a resi-
dent. He is a man with high sense
of honor, well posted in all that the
new county needs, and d man who.
firmly believes in what is right and
will do. the right thing at the right
time.
B. F. BILLINGSLEY.
Mr.. Billingsley is proprietor of one
of Duncan's large mercantile estab-

ability. He has formerly represented
the county of Graham for several
years in this capacity, and@h a full
knowledge as to such things needed
by the new county and what is neces
sary for an old one as to that. If
put on the ticket freight engine
couldn't pull him off or train loaded
with voters mile long beat him.
J. A. McwILLIAMS-
1t goes without saying that Mac is
all right. He is a public spirited
citizen, always to the front in the
cause of democracy and the prime
les that go to form good government
and the welfare of the people as
whole. Mr.. McWilliams is a hard
working, Industrious citizen of Cliff
ton, man who strictly attends to
| his position as engineer of the a. G.
power house, and from his long resi-
dence here in this county would make
an executive officer who would come
up to high standard OF ability.
| R y. CAMPBELL.
Judge Campbell halls from that
high up camp of Metcalf and if any
one thinks that Bob can't fly they
are badly mistaken. Mr.. Campbell
has resided at Metcalf for many years
and has been live one all over the
county. He is con7ersant with public
wants and utilities and from stand
point of what the people are in need
of and an economical adjustment of
public affairs there is no one in the
new county better suited to be county
Supervisor than Bob Campbell.
