SOME GOOD MEN TO VOTE FOR

SOME GOOD men TO VOTE FOR
A Few Reasons Why You Should Remember
These Men at the Primaries
We are not going to attempt to die.
tate who any man shall vote for at the
primaries-it would do us no good if
we did dictate-but we would like to
offer few suggestions and give our
reasons for hoping that you may vote
for the men we are about to name In
this list however you will find only
men who have opposition in their own
party at the primaries as there is
plenty of time before the general cleo
tion to take up the other contests.
Among the first of the county can-
didates to get into the race and who
has been making good clean cam
paign since is J. O. Whaley who is
running for the nomination as county
treasurer. Jack" as he is known to
everyone in the county has lived here
for the past twenty-five years He has
had twelve years clerical experience.
first in the Burlington offices at Edge
mont and later for time as register
of deeds. Since that time he has con-
Quoted the only abstract office in the
county. During his residence in Hot
Springs he has always been booster
in every movement for the betterment
of Hot Springs and will make the
county 6rst class treasurer as he will
conduct the office in an honest and
businesslike manner. The republican
voters will make no mistake in voting
for him at the primaries.
Another whom we would like to call
to the attention Of the voters is j. FL
Gillespie, republican candidate for the
office of county auditor. Mr.. Gillespie
is coming before the voters asking for
county office for the first time and
he has been resident of the county
and tax payer for over twenty-five
years. He is man whose word is as
good as the best gold bond and one
who is thoroughly competent and oap-
able of conducting the affairs of the
auditors office in businesslike man
ner. An X before his name will be ap-
preciated.
If there is one office where inoom-
potency shows up more than any other
it is in the office of county commits
sioner. The fact that Fall River
county is head over heals in debt may
not have been caused by incompetent
commissioners but about ninety five
per cent of it was from this cause. The
fact that the county is in debt is per-
haps not so bad if they had anything
to show for the Indebtedness but they
haven't. And the only way to remedy
an evil is to get at the root of it and in
the case of commissioner to be elected,
to secure man whose business ability
and experience in money matters is
big enough to be able to cope with the
sharks who attempt to graft the county
out of legitimate nancy and to recog.
nlze these attempts. AS a starter to-
ward eliminating man whose work
has been farce in the office it would
be we'll for the voters at the primary
to cast their vote for L. e. Highley on
the republican ticket. Larry may not
be an angel but he is a business man
and a square one at that. He is can.
didate from the second district com
prising Hot Springs and vote for him
will be vote for your own interests.
Another old line republican who is
making good campaign is Chas. Con-
ger. He has three other aspirants on
the same ticket for the office of sheriff
but from all indications it looks very
much like he would be the republican
nominee. Chas. has been one of the
wheel horses on the republican county
for good many years and deserves q
good vote.
