been holding meetings during the past
week in the various precincts of the
county. These meeting have been ex-
ceptionally we'll attended and those
present have given close attention to
what was said relative to the issues of
the campaign, showing that the voters
this year are going to gather what
facts they can, and then decide for
themselves which one of those asking
for votes are best qualified for the po-
sitions they are seeking.
The Sprick- Matoush quartet has
been furnishing the music for these
meetings and have surely done their
part well, the selections rendered by
them receiving hearty applause.
Messrs. j. A. Dawson of Ovid; Roy
T. johnson and John Coen of Ster-
ling have taken up and ably handled
the state issues, while Mesdames Elsie
Vaught, B. D. Parker and Geo. H.
Thompson have presented the argu-
mcnts for and against the principal
amendments.
Earl c. Harris, republican candidate
for County Treasurer clearly outlined
his methods of conducting the treas
urer's office, and clearly showed that
the warrants are paid as speedily as
there is money collected in the funds
against which the warrants are regis
tered. He further called attention
to that section of the statute which
provides a penalty for county treas
urers or deputies paying warrants
registered against one fund out of
moneys belonging to other funds of
the county. He showed how easily one
well versed in the use of figure combi-
nations could obtain erroneous results
and make them appear correct and
plausible. He also clearly set forth
the money saving policies he has used
in conducting the affairs of the office.
Mr.. Harry c. Spillman, Republican
candidate for the office of County
Commissioner, although no fluent
speech-maker, left no doubt in the
minds of his hearers but that he is well
qualified for the office of commission
er, and that if elected, he sincerely
would do his utmost to give the coun
ty an economical, just and fair ad-
ministration. He stated that he stood
for less truck and tractor work and
that he favors giving the farmer and
home man the preference in all coun-
ty work; that being a farmer he is
well acquainted with all of the prob
lens the farmer has to solve, and as
sured the voters, if given trial in
this important office, he will conduct
the county affairs in safe and sane
manner.
Mrs Nellie f. Nichols, the present
County Clerk and Recorder, in asking
for another term, sets forth the eco
nomical and efficient way in which
the affairs Of the office have been
carried on under her management;
that the fees of the office have prac-
tically doubled since she commenced
her duties, and although the work of
the office has greatly increased as to
number of instruments filed for rec
ord, number of auto and visitors Ii
censes issued, and a much greater
amount of clerical labor required in
connection with the various road dis
tricts, yet she has cared for the office
with the aid of but one regular de-
putty; that in her lifetime she has
been forced to economize in her own
affairs, and promises if reelected to
conduct the affairs Of the office in the
same economical manner that has
characterized her clerk work thus far
Mrs. Elma Schroeder, Republican
candidate for County Superintendent
of Schools, stated that since her ap-
pointment to this office, following the
resignation of Miss Emma Carlson,
she has worked to bring the schools
of the county up to as high standard
as possible, with the equipment and
means available; that she is proud Of
the Sedgwick county teaching force
and proud that majority of them are
home girls; that she is working as
far as possible to standarize the
schools Of the county as outlined by
State Superintendent of Schools. If
elected she assures all those interest
ed in the welfare of the schools that
