Why They Were Nominated.

Truman M. Patten was nominated
for the office of County Treasurer for
the reason that he is undoubtedly the
most competent man for the office in
the county, having resided in Valley
county for twenty-five years last past,
during which time he has served the
people as County Surveyor, Represen-
tative in the State Legislature, and
Register of the United States Land
Office at Glasgow, which in itself,
shows the confidence which has been
placed in him by the people of Valley
county. A man who has served the
people Of his county in the various
offices which Mr.. Patten has held
must necessarily be a man of honesty
and integrity, and, if elected, Mr..
Patterns administration will be one
of economy, which means less tax
for the taX-nAver
Barton H. Cottrell was nominated
for the office of County Assessor,
because Of his exceptional fitness for
the position. Mr.. Cottrell has lived in
Valley county for the past twenty
years, during which time he has been
engaged in the stock business and
contracting, and for several years
last past has been engaged in farming.
Being a taxpayer himself, Mr.. Cot
trell knows what fairness and economy
means to the people of Valley county,
and especially the farmer; and, if
elected, MI. Cottrell will conduct the
office in a fair, honest, and economical
manner, and will see that the large
interests pay taxes on their entire
holdings, which means that the farmer
will not be compelled to pay more
taxes in proportion than the large
property owner.
Miss Flora Sims was nominated for
the office of Superintendent of Schools
for the reason that in this office more
| than any other, experience is the
greatest qualification. Miss Sims has
served the people of Valley county in
the capacity of County Superintendent
of Schools for the past four years,
during which time she has conducted
the office upon an economical basis,
and has done more for the upbuilding
and advancemento of the public schools
than any other person who has ever
filled the office. A vote for Miss Sims
means a continuance OF an economical
administration and further advance
ment of our public schools.
w, H. Mann was nominated for the
office of County Surveyor for the
reason that he is civil engineer OF
exceptional ability and vast expert
ence. Mr.. Mann served the people of
Valley county as County Surveyor for
eight years prior to the past two.
during which time he did more for the
establishment and construction OF
good roads and bridges for less money
than any other incumbent OF the
office. Good roads and bridges an(
money saved means more to the farmer
than any other one thing. A vote fol-
Mr.. Mann is vote for better roads
for less money to the taxpayer.
All of the above named persons arr
running upon their own individual
merits and have made no promises o.
pledges regarding the appointment O
deputies or assistants; and if elected
they will 60 into office with thei1
hands free and will not be under the
influence, or dictation of any person
or persons, which in itself, must
necessarily insure a good, clean, anc
economical administration.
