and will do all possible to further the
replenishing of forests and streams
with wild life. Partly on account of
the tourists and partly on account OF
| the increased interest in hunting and
fishing, protection and increasing of
wild life must be looked after. In
every way, Mr. Whinnery will make a
good representative for the Fourth
Congressional district. He is popular
among all who know him. and every
one is always glad to see him. No
better recommendation can be pre-
sented for his personality. We doubt
| if a more sincere and better posted
man could be found in the district, and
we trust that when the voters go to
the polls they will remember all the
reasons why they should vote for
Webster S. Whinnery.
The nominees for county offices are
for national places. Thomas w. Os-
born, of Delta, the Republican nominee
for county clerk and recorder, is one
of the most popular men on the tick
ct. He is an experienced bOokkeeper
and accountant, and has had a wide
experience in work such as is found in
the county clerks office. He is ever
courteous and accommodating and
has all the qualifications to make him
a successful and most satisfactory
county official
Clark w Roe, of Hotchkiss, who is
the candidate on the Republican tick
ct for the office of treasurer, leaves
no doubt in the minds of those who
know him as to his efficiency and
ability to handle such position
creditably and well for the taxpayers
of the county. Mr.. Roe is an exact
man in his home and business affairs
and carries this qualification which
would be of inestimable value in the
treasurer's office. He is experienced
in public affairs and accustomed TO
handling business for the people.
Previous to coming to Delta county
he served as state representative in
his home county. Mr.. Roe possesses
every requisite for the office he
seeks.
The Republican candidate for sher-
iff Clarence E. Vanaken, is also suit
ed in every way for the office he de-
sires. He is resident of Cedaredge
where he has many friends He is
blacksmith by trade. AS a sheriff he
would be fearless where that is the
necessary quality, and would do his
utmost to bring before the court vio-
lators of the law of all kinds. A
temperate man, he tolerates no in
temperance and would be active in rid
ding the country of bootleggers. He
is a quiet and unassuming man so
that he is not so well known, per-
haps, as other candidates. He is the
ideal type for sheriff. He has also had
experience which fits him for the
position, having acted as marshal and
deputy for several years. He possess
es clean character which is not
only an inspiration but the highest
possible recommendation for a can
didate for this office.

this is a necessary asset in a county

thing he undertakes; he would be
none the less so in the position Of

one which not every man can fill sue
cessfully. It takes a man who is used
to handling money; who knows the
value Of it; a man who is CAPABLE
and willing to give deep thought to
the problems which arise before the
commissioners. 1t demands a man of
education and common sense and in
tegrity. These things Mr.. Bennett
possesses to an unusual degree. Man

is a thing difficult of achievement. To
do 1t we must have men who will
bring their best to the office. Mr..
Bennett is such a man and in him are
combined qualities rarely found to-
gether which make him eminently
suited for this office.
