MAKE USE Of YOUR
THINKER NOV. 5TA

| l. to themselves to make wise St
lection in county officials next Tues
day, Nov. 5. When you elect IA man
or woman TO office, great or small,
YOU are placing the business manage
ment of the county in the hands of
those men for a period of two years,
and it behooves you to select the very
best men available.
Men who have reputation Tor
honesty, integrity and competency,
and responsible men who have been
tried and not found wanting in pub
lie service. Honesty and qualilica-
ton, as well as experience. ought to
be prime qualification demanded of
candidates for public Office. |, is
no easy matter TO administer the al
fairs of the county in such IA way as
to insure the maximum OF efficiency
at minimum of cost. We believe
the candidates on the democratic
county ticket possess all the ncccs-
sary qualifications to fill the bill and
all requirements
G. II. Flummerfelt for the senate
represented Franklin county in the
| house of representatives for four
| years and possesses every qualiiich-
ton necessary to make Il senator oil
| much value to this county and dis
trict.
Chas. Bull and P.HAdams are large
landowners and stockholders and both
are heavy taxpayers. They are ed
ucated and have real knowledge of
the needs of the county and we be-
leve can be safely trusted with the
county's welfare in the house of req
reese ntatiyes. There good business
sense will dictate to them the right
thing to do.
Ii. II. Collier. editor of the Tacoma
Democrat, is the democratic nominee
for Lieutenant Governor, and he
nomination could not have fallen 10
a man more deserving. He is loyal
and has been since early. manhood
to the democratic party. He has
spent his time and his money to adj
vance the party's interest without
any considerat ton further than patri-
otism and loyalty to country. Be
sure to vote for Collier.
We presume that every democrat
in the state and thousands upon
thousands of republicans will support
and elect Ernest Lister for Governor.
Hundreds of repu blicans of kittitas
county are anxious to vote for him.
believing that he is an, ideal man tor
the office and far superior to either
of the other candidates who are seek
ing that high office. A vote for
Lister will be vote for a square
deal administration in every thing
that the term implies. Vote for
Lister and save Washing ton
The democratic party has two ideal
candidates for congressman at large
Senator White of Bellingham and
Col E. o. Conner of Spokane. They
are men of honor. integrity and cap
able and if elected. and they will be.
Washington will have men in Con-
gre SIS that it need not be ashamed OF
and men who will represent the state
not some ring, clique or faction as
has been the case for the past few
wears In fact. we are safe in say
ing that Washington has not been
represented in the house but rather
| misrepresented The men are and
were good enough. so far as that goes
but what we need as a state in Con-
gress and in the Senate is men oil
brains. With Roscoe Drumhcllcr
from the Bird district Munday from
the End and Chas. Heifncr from the
1st Washington will have the brains
in Congress to cope with any state III
the Union. And, it will be worse
than useless to elect republican
from this or any other state to Con-
gress for the reason that it Will be
democratic president and demo-
cratic house and republican in Con-
press will be like bump on log
or cows tail-only an ornament
a thing neither TO be desired or want
ed--fo reth the next few years. at
least until there is an excuse Tor
such thing. Democrats and Re-
publicans alike in this district are
going down the line for Roscoe
Drumhcller.
Our schools are one of our m'>'

saw les and mo" without l.l" or
favor and at the right time, such
woman is Mrs. Lillian Mcrrymdn the
democratic nominee for county sup
erintendent. She has had several
wears actual experience in the school
room and as to qualifications, she is
eminently qualified to fill the office
and it will be a sad mistake OF the
voters if the fail to elect her next
| Tuesday.
The county commissioners are the
guardians of the county. Ihcy can
make or break the county, then now
essential it is that good, honest ana
competent men be elected. The OIL
flee demands business men, men VINO
have a practical education and lots
of good common sense and VINO are
able to cope with the gralters ana
lecchers at home and abroad. The
democrats have two such nominees
in the persons of Harry w. Eldred
and NJ. G. Ballard and every man
and woman throughout the county
have a vote coming on this oi1lce'
regardless of the district you live IN.
Be sure and put an after the
names of both these candidates ana
,ou will have made no mistake. Vote
to save Kittitas county and the stare
of Washington.
