A Merit0rious,
Worthy Ticket

Never before, perhaps, have the
Democrats presented to the voters
stronger and more worthy set of men
than will be presented on the ticket
next Tuesday for their approval
From President down to Constable,
every Democratic nominee is the kind
of man that the voters should con-
slider it a privilege to east their vote
for. The Times has spoken often of
National and State candidates, and
now we have room only for few
words of special commendation Of To-
cal candidates.
But we must start in with word
of commentator and approval of
Hon. Arthur T. Brewster, candidate
for Congress from the Thirteenth
District. Mr.. Brewster is thoroughly
qualified for the important duties of
that office, is conscientious and thor
oughly honest, which is very i'm
portant qualification, in view of facts
that have recently been laid at the
door of his Republican opponent for
that position. You will never have
cause to regret voting for Arthur
| Brewster.
Jeff d. Poston, for Representative
in the State Legislature, has served
st. Francois county in satisfactory
manner for the past two years, and
with the next Legislature Democratic,
as it doubtless will be, he will be able
to accomplish even more for his con-
stituency during the next two years
than he has during his present term.
Philip S. Cole. Jr., nominee for
Prosecuting Attorney, is capable
young attorney, who, if elected, will
go into office with absolutely no
strings to him, and will devote his en-
tire time in seeing that all the laws
are rigidly enforced in this county.
He will "play no favorites" while in
office, and his sole effort will be to
administer justice to all.
] w. H. Coffield, who is now COM
pleting his first term as County Treas
urer, is too well known to need an-
| special commendation among the
many who haev come in contact with
| him in an official capacity. He is q
thorough gentleman, with every quail
ifcation for filling that office in
competent and satisfactory manner.
+. M. Horton, who is now filling a
| SHOIJ lCI Ill dS A0DCooOI, 10 dLOIhSI
gentleman whom it is pleasure to
know. He is always courteous and
obliging, and his work as Assessor
speaks for itself. There is no doubt
but, that be has more. friends now than
when he tassafbe control of that Of
fee, and his reelection by an in
creased majority is expected.
The Democratic candidate for Sher-
iff is John G. Hunt, who made such
remarkable showing in the primary
contest, and the general supposition
is that he will again lead his ticket to
splendid victory. If he has an en-
emy The Times has not heard of it,
and yet he is a man of conviction and
action, who will make a Sheriff whom
all will honor and respect.
John w. Jones, who asks reelection
as County Judge from the First Dis
| trict, has proven himself to be the
right man in the right place. His
record during the past two years is
| the strongest possible recommended
tion of him for his reelection to that
position. His acquaintance with the
important duties of that office will
be an asset he will convert to the
county's credit.
1t appears that most discriminating
judgment was used in the nomination
of Emmett Belknap for County Judge
from the Second District, as he is
well known as a thorough businesss
man, to whom the correct perform
ance of the important duties of Coun-
ty Judge will come entirely natural.
He is also a most pleasing and affable
gentleman, and The Times predicts
that he will run well up with his tick
ct.
Rolla Cozean for Public Admins
traitor, Thos H. Holman for Surveyor,
and j. H. English for Coroner, are
each splendid selections for these
three offices. Each is thoroughly
competent, splendidly qualified and al
together worthy to fill these offices in
noteworthy and distinctive manner
which will result in credit to them,
selves and honor to their county, as
we'll as to their party.
