the Office, as Will every otner man,
who has had any business in the office.
1t is not every man who can fill the
Office of county surveyor, but B. o.
Pratt has proved that he can. He
knows his business and he not only
knows it but attends to it. Whatever
work is done by him will be done right
work that is done for the county that
he approves is done according to speci-
fications He is not the man that
contractors can put slipshod, shyster
/ work over. He should be retained as
surveyor.
| For sheriff is needed man who Is
ready and willing to answer calls for
him at any time of the day or night
and to go quickly, man who is strong
physically and unafraid, Carey Long
has shown that he is such a man and
he has also performed all of the other
duties of the Office well, receiving
special commendation from the state
inspector who was here last spring.
A. G. Cockerill is man Of good
sound Judgment and sense. He served
one term as county commissioner, be-
ing defeated two years ago. While he
was commissioner he looked after the
interests of the county with the same
fidelity that he had given to his pri-
vate affairs and he made success of
them. While commissioner he saw to
it that the money of the county was
wisely and economically spent. He
did not play politics. He was assist
ing in conducting business. His
services deserve endorsement. He is
the kind of man needed in public
office.
John L. Penn, the Republican can
didate for treasurer, has for years been
doing work that peculiarly fits him for
the position. He has served as deputy
treasurer under Charles D. Johnson.
Before that he had been working in
bank. He will not have to learn the
duties of the treasurer's Office if
el ed. He already knows them. Not
only that but he combines quickness
with accuracy and can do more work
of the kind required in that office and
do it better than probably any other
man in the county. And it is never
too much trouble for him to explain
any matter connected with that office
and assist in unraveling any tangles
that may have arisen.
n. Il. Barrett and Frank L. Crosen,
the two other candidates for county
commissioner, have made a success of
their private affairs. Mr.. Barrett Is
the proprietor of livery barn In
Hillsboro. His teams and rigs are 60
ing daily to all parts of the county.
People from all parts of the county
come daily to his barn. He is proba-
bly, as conversant with the conditions
of the roads and bridges of the county
as any man in it. Mr.. Crosen is a
prosperous farmer of the western pa t
of the county. He is one of the Grus-
tees of Liberty township and is good
one. His record in that office should.
recommend him for promotion to
commissioner.
Coke L. Doster, of Greenfield, Re-
publican candidate for prosecuting
attorney, is lawyer of ability. lie
not only knows and understands the
principles of law but he is good
advocate, convincing and eloquent
pleader before jury. The legal busi-
ness of the county would be well at
tended to with Mr.. Doster as prosecut-
ing attorney.
G. G. o. Pence, candidate for repre-
sentative in the General Assembly, is
one of the most progressive and up-to'
date farmers of the county. He has
always been one of the leaders in all
matters for the improvement OF the
condition of the farmers, taking an
active part in the extension schools
and farmers Institutes. He is man
who keeps posted on what is going or
and has ideas and views of his own
He is clean, straight, honest and capa
BILE and is member Of the genera
!, assembly would reflect credit both or
himself and the county.
, Just look over the list of the men OF
the ticket and you will admit that l
would be hard to find place where i
could be improved upon. Efficiency
honesty and ability should be tn
things considered when voting for
candidate for county off and If thi
is done the success of the candidate
= on the Republican county ticket
assured.
