Candidate for Treasurer of Ne
 vada County

AS the time for the nomina- tion of officers for the ensuing two years draws near, the vot- CTS begin to center their minds upon the men most worthy for the several positions. The sub ject of this sketch, Mir. J. M. Duke, is a candidate for treas urer of Nevada county, and we feel and every one who knows him feels, that if elected, he would fulfill the duties of that responsible office faithfully, hon. estly and creditably. MT. Duke is a county man, identified with the county's interests, and is a friend of the common people. Grown up among us, he has the esteem and confidence of our people generally, and we can as- sure the voters that he will be true to his trust.
 AS the time is short, he will probably be unable to see all of you, but he asks that you give his claims your careful consid- eration, and he promises of elect ed to make you as good a treas urer as the county ever had. And the men who know Jim Duke believe that he will do that.
 He asks that you investigate his qualifications for the office, inquire of his friends and neigh bors his fitness for the position, and he has no fears of the result.
 You will make no mistake if you vote for J. M. Duke for treasurer, and he is the kind of a man who will have the proper appreciation for anything you do for him.
 He promises if elected to keep his office at the court house, where it properly belongs.
