County Candidates

County Candidates
THE HERALD has heretofore COM
mented on the Democratic ticket ~
follows:
COMMISSIONER
The office Of county commissioners
is one Of the most important in ths
scheme Of county government; it's
q difficult office to flll; it's an omce
in which the pay for services rem
dered is very small and the ''cussin' "
very large. 1t takes 3 Commissioners
q greater part Of his first term to
familiarize himself with the duties
of his office, Harry Con, present
incumbent from the first district, has
made good commissioner. It's to the
interest Of the taxpayers that he be
reelected.
CLERK AND RECORDER.
II the Democrats had searched the
county over for = candidate they
could not have found q better one
than the man they selected for coun-
ty clerk and recorder. Claude j.
Wilson is not only immensely popu-
lar n q man. but he is thoroughly
qualified to fill the ofilce In . man.
ner highly satisfactory to the taxpay-
ers and the public. He Is case Of
the office seeking the man, and not
the man the office.
ASSESSOR.
Here's another case Of the ofiice
seeking the man. George Aicher was
not . candidate for the office Of as
SCISSOR. Like other farmers under
the Miller creek ditch, it's been an
uphill proposition with him for .
humber of years past. He had got
ten his place pretty we'll cleared OF
and . goodly acreage under cultiva-
tion when the ditch broke At the
start Of the irrigation season and ~
lost his crop. To retrieve the loss u
much as possible, he had taken Q
position a. clerk at the Union Trad
ing store, where hes.Was AAs;voeA
when unexpectedly called upon TO
make the race for assessor, . position
TO which the voters will undoubtedly
elect him on the 9Th day of Novem-
Der. George e. Alcher has resided
In Rio Blanco county over twenty
years, barring the time he was at
tending the Denver high school
where he graduated. He is Of q
quiet and retiring disposition; hard
to get acquainted with, but when
you do know him You know q
thorough gentleman and man Of
the highest integrity.
SHERIFF.
Robert H. Wear, the Democratic
candidate for sheriff, is an old-time
resident Of Rio Blanco county. Mr..
Wear Is held in high esteem by a
large circle Of friends, and possesses
every essential necessary to make an
ideal peace officer. In selecting q
candidate to make q winning race
against the popular AL Ellison. the
Democracy hit on the right man In
the person Of Bob Wear.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Mrs. selena D. Lyttle is q native of
Pittsburgh. Pa. She is an academic
and normal graduate, and then took
the college course in literature and
English composition. She was as
sistant principal in the Mt. Washing
ton school, and from that position
was elected to teacher of English
in the academical department Of
the Pittsburgh Central High
school, which position she fill
ed creditably until she resigned to
marry James Lyttle of Meeker, Colo
RADIO. Miss Doak ranked as one of
Pittsburgh's best teachers, and is
certainly qualified to fill the office Of
county superintendent Of Rio BIanco
schools.
Dan Moog is the right man for this
place and on November 9Th will be
elected for the ninth consecutive
term.
CORONER
This is more important office than
generally understood by the public,
and the Democrats made no mistake
when. they placed Albert J. Cole In
nomination for coroner. Mr.. Cole is
. Rio Blanco county boy and we'll
and favorably known to everybody.
