THE COUNTY TICKET

pose to give something OF a write-uI
of the different candidates for county
Offices on the republican ticket.
We believe the ticket nominal
ed this year is worthy of the mos
favorable consideration Of all the vot
erss OF the county and especially
worthy of the utmost effort of the
members OF the republican party in
the county to bring about their elec
ton.
We trust this year there are no en-
tanglements which will prevent the
republicans from standing by theiI
ticket and not giving aid and comfort
to the enemy as in former
years by selecting out certain
democrats whom they favor as against
the candidates on their own ticket. 1t
is difficult to maintain political or
ganization without Il proper degree OF
fidelity exhibited toward it and when
o member of one party will look for ex-
cuses for opposing 4 candidate OF his
panty or make an alliance with can
didate of another party for any rea-
son, it is o case OF betrayal of his
own party.
There are enough republicans in
Crawford county to win victories for
the party hut il can never be done ex-
cept by united and good faith action
ON the part of the members of the
party.
This year. of all years, republicans
should stand by their party because
the experiment of a democratic ad-
ministration is already proving dis
appointment with special taxes which
the people never experienced during
the administration OF the repub-
lican party. The tax bill, which
has already passed the house of
representatives and is pending he
fore the senate, places di-
rect tax Oh those things which will
not only cause Inconvenience to the
common people, but will prove expens-
i've. Every time business transac-
ton is had q tax is placed upon it.
The purchase OF ten gallons OF gaso-
line means twenty cents taxed up to
the purchaser, according to the bill
which passed the house of represent
atives. Telephone messages and
kilograms are to be burdened
with taxation and it is not diff
cult to reach the conclusion who pays
these expenses. This is the compen-
sation afforded the people for placing
the democratic party in power.
We will be able this week to furnish
q writeup Of but portion of the cap
didates but we hope by next week to
have covered them all.
p. J. kLiNkER
resentative, is first on the list, and it
is pleasure to mention his name in
q eulogistic way.
John has proved himself by his acts
in the past and has demonstrated that
he is dependable man and in favor of
laws that WI best serve the interests
OF the people. For ten years he was
the county attorney OF this county and
discharged the office with credit to
himself and the people OF the county.
The Office which he now seeks is but
in the line of promotion and his ambi-
tion is laudable one and the people
should see that he realizes it. The
office is one that anords but a nomin
al salary and it is commendable
thing that Mr.. Klinker is willing to
accept an Office without much profit
and where the benefits are for the
the people rather than with the office
holder.
lie has, perhaps, as wide an ac-
quaintance as any other person living
in the county. He is of German par
entage and has large personal fol-
lowing regardless OF politics. Those
who have followed his career from
childhood. are able to discover ele
ments OF independence and force
which are OF an extraordinary char
acter. Many young men would seek
to secure an education if they had
financial means to warrant them in
doing so. Mr.. Klinker decided on an
education without qualifying his de-
cislon or in any war making it depend
upon financial aid. When he decided
upon an education he Immediately
started to secure it and by his in
dustry, economy and close application
was able to earn enough money to take
him through the state university
where he graduated with honors. Any
young man able to accomplish this feat
has proved himself and is bound to
win in life. Mr.. Klinker's conduct
since he left college and entered his
profession demonstrates that his first
victory was but precursor OF others
to follow.
He has built up and maintains a |
good law practice and has a large and |
desirable clientage. His experience
as lawyer and, especially, as county
attorney and criminal prosecutor of
this county qualify him for legislative
work. He has given sufficient study |
to all public questions to enable him to |
legslate intelligently and wisely. He
is now in his experience where many |
other men would be after having serv-
ed term or two in the Legislature
The only thing we ever had occa-
sion to criticize John for was his de-
lay in getting married, but as he has re-
Gently taken unto himself wife, this |
objection is overcome and as long as |
he has settled down permanently as |
a resident of DenisOn. we are willing |
to forgive him for the delay in enter
ing the married relation.
John is vote getter. He has dem |
onstrated it and proved his popularity |
