coUNTYsNoMINATIoNs

While the presidential nominees OF
the different parties occupy the center
of the political stage, and attract the
attention Of voters throughout the
United States, the Importance of nomi.

should not be neglected. Under the
present neutrality-suspicious. caused by
the organization of q new party that

many Of the counties, the party that
expects to winImust nominate county
candid ates who5deserve to win on their
merits.
The intelligent voter of the present
day gives little attention to the party
label of q candid ate for county Office.
He realizes there is no politics in .
public position in which the incumbent
performs duties thatiare largely cleri.
cal, and thatlthe ability and WORTH
ness OF the applicant are the consid-
erations that llshould determine his
choice. In selecting an employe in
his personal business affairs, the
voter does not inquire into the appli-
cant's politics, religion, or any other
matter that has lno relation to the
work to be done-the competence, in.
dustry carbohydrates of the ap.
plicant are thelquali6cations OF most
interest to his employer.
Most OF the voters willIdoubtless de.
termine theirlschoice for county Office
along similarlElines. The partisan
advice to ''vote:her straight" will not
appeal to level.headed electors by
whom personal merit is considered of
morec con sequence than political afilia-
tions. 1t willlmake little difference to
such voters whether the candid ate
wears the republican, democratic or
progressive label; II he Is considered
the best man flor the Office, he will re-
ceive their support.
This view ofSthe matter may not be
acceptable to candidate whose princi-
pal claim to recognition IL the osteu-
tatious display of their republican,

Members OF each political party who
are entrusted with the task of making
county nominations should exercise

1t is a favorite scheme mon aspir-

OIL HAS
~s1,2OO,0OO,OOO
This Appraisal of Old New Jer'
sey Concern Is Declared
Itr a-Conservative."

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Much de-
tailed information about former sub
salaries of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey is furnished in a
pamphlet just issued by the Stock
Exchange house of F. s. Smithers &
Co.
1.-THE last official record of earnings
Of the Standard Oil Company as a
whole was that of 1906.
Total profits for that year were
s83, 1872, 252, and dividend payments $685.
1876, 1920, leaving a surplus of SAB, 1882
to go back into the property.
Annual net profits from 1906 to
1911, inclusive, are understood to have
averaged not under $50, O0O. 900, and
one year ago are said to have u as
high as 500, 900. 900. Dividend pay
ments for the same period averaged
about $40. 600. 900 a year.
This is interesting in connection
with the recent rise in the market
price of old Standard Oil of New
Jersey stock to over 81, 080 a share"
The summary of the Standard Oil
Company's present position goes on
to state that the records show "wher-
ever they are available" that the re-
turns on the company's reinvest-
ments have been large, Gin some
cases bringing two for one" and es-
Inmates that an appraisal of 81, 20O,-
900, 900 as the net value of the old
Standard Oil of New Jersey and all
of the subsidiaries would be ultra
conservative"
