As will be seen by announcements elsewhere in these columns, T. C. Patto? son and G. C. McAllister will be candi dates for the office of county attorney. subject to the decision of the republican county convention. Both are well known to the voters of the county, especially Mr. Patterson, who has resided in this city for over twenty-five years. Ho has ever been an active republican worker, devoting his time and money liberally to the success of county campaigns. His enthusiastic work for the party in the past has not been rewarded by election to office; he has not been an office-seeker, oemg content to cio an m nis power solely for tho cause of republicanism. His candidacy for the nomination of county attorney at this time after so many years of service in the party is well warranted, and his nomination would be a fitting recognition of that service. His ability as a lawyer and his fitness for the position cannot be ques tioned. In nominating him the conven tion will make no mistake.
