Candidate for
County Clerk
Last weok we ptcsentcd Tho Herald
readers a photogravure of Cal. M. Cox,
democratic candidate) for sheriff, whoso
election is now generally conceded.
This week we give a cut of John B.
Kniest, candidate for county clerk. He
has been a tesident of Box Butte couu
ty for the past seven years, and all this
J 11 KNIEST.
time has been in the employ of Tho
Alliance Herald, where he has held the
position of foreman and associate edi
tor. Mr. Kniest has the ability to ac
ceptably fill the position for which he
has been selected. Every person who
knows John Kniest knows him to bo
one of the most industrious aud hard
working men in the county, who is
held in respect by every one with whom
he comes in contact, a man who has
been deserving of any office in the
county, but who never asked for politi
cal preference, but when the call came
from the central committee he promptly
agreed to make the race. Mr. Kniest will
not have time to see every voter in the
county, as his duty to his employer
and greater duty to his family necessi
tate his putting in every moment ho
can in the office of The Herald, but we
do not think a canvass of the county
will be necessery as he has a host of
friends who will see to it that lie re
ceives enough votes to give him the
office.
