fok county coannssioxo.
Two filings for county, commission
er for District No. 1, tho North Platto
district wcro mado Friday when John
It. Rlt.nor and Charlos Llcrk flffd' as'
candidates and both as republicans.
Tlioso acquainted with these two men
and both are well known, will agree
with us that either ono would mako a
good and capable commissioner. Mr.
Ritnor has long beort a resldontof tho
county, coming hero from Pennsylvania
In tho early days. During his resi
dence In North Platto ho has filled n
number of vocations, each acceptable.
For several years past ho has been
engaged In building the smaller
bridges and cemont culverts for tho
county and doing rip-rapping work
along tho river. This work hua nat
urally taken him over a good part of
tho county and ho is well acquainted
with conditions of roads, bridges and
other county affairs, a knowledge that
would bo a service to him as a county
commissioner.
Charlos Llerk Is one of tho best
known men in tho county, for as a
morchant In North Platte for a number
of years ho mot both town and county
residents. He has been a resident of
tho city all his life, born and educated
in North PlattOj As a business man he
is considered ono of our best, and no
man In town has a better standing aa
a straightforward and capablo buslnesH
man. His popularity Insures him a
big vote in tho primary election next
month.
