Along with Carlson for governor,
DIT. Hubert Work is an equally popu-
lar and desirable candidate for United
States Senate, and that he will be
elected there is every good reason to
believe.
And look at the array of good
political timber we have at home
John E Ramer for Secretary of State,
is one of the nose deservedly popular
candidates on the state ticket, and
he is a Delta county citizen. Ramer
has not only had experience in the
office he seeks. but has twice before
narrowly escaped being elected to that
important office.
This is his third candidacy and it's
going to be the charm. Against him
on the Democratic ticket is a ward
politician. a political schemer whose
methods have created disgust even in
his own party Just the opposite of
John Z. Ramer. farmer. office man
and student, who is as straight as a
string in everything. including politics.

any political faith, will prove salts

Baird should easily be elected.
In the lineup for county comms-
sioner. w. A. Shepherd is to the front
with nominations by both Republicans
and Progressives. He was the unani-
nous choice. At the primary cleo
tion his majority ran up into the
hundreds.
Mr.. Shepherd has served the county
two terms as clerk and recorder. in
which capacity he has become entirely
familiar with the county's business
and needs. and is therefore well equip

will make a good commissioner. Give
