CHARLES A. WlLkIS,
For District Judge

The Republicans OF Fremont eoun-
ty take pleasure In presenting their
candidates for Office to the voters for
their endorsement. There is moth
ing in their character OF In their as
pirations for which an apology is
needed for they stand for square deal
ing to all the world. If elected. as we
believe most OF them will be. they will
give the people careful. honest and
economical administration OF affairs.
All of them are worthy of confidence
and support and in selecting them to
transact the public business no mis-
take Will be made.

Few more husiling capable and
popular candidates have ever been
nominated for public office in the Ar
kansas valley than Harry S. Maddox.
the Republican nominee for county
treasurer. His energy and enthusiasm
are almost boundless and his optim-
ism and good nature contagious. He

of his life in Kansas and Colorado,
but is essentially a western man in all
of his views and inclinations-
He received his early education in
a log school house back in the Buck
eye state when educational adyan-
tages were not as good as they are
now by any means In the school
that Mr. Maddox first attended the
benches were hewn from logs cut
in the near by woods and instruc-
ton was confined largely TO the
three RS" which in those days con-
stituted the curriculum OF study in
the rural schools of the country.
With his parents and six brothers and
sisters he removed from Ohio to Pa
ola. Kansas. in 1850. where his aged
father still lives on the old farm. his
mother having died a little more than
a year ago.
After completing the course OF
study in the common schools Mr.. Mad
dox took a three years course In the
preparatory and normal schools at
business college at Sedalia. Missouri
At the age Of eighteen he began max
ing his own way in the world by Sc
curing employment in a railroad Of

ness until his retirement from the
Rio Grande agency at Canon City

continuous service He worked for
four different companies and holds a
record of steady working for more
than quarter of century without
a discharge or defaultine In single

the relations of life Mr.. Wilkin is a

20 the bench the voters of the elev-
enth judicial district will do them
selves honor. His sterling qualities

dow him with all OF the attributes

distinct triumph when the returns
