About Oar Ticket.
Dr. A. J. Plumer , of Mother
Lake precinct , is a man well known
to the stockmen throughout the
western portion of this county.
He will make an efficient county
clerk and people ought to vote for
him if they consider their business
interest and the welfare of the
county.
J. F. Young is the man who made
the race for treasurer two years
ago. Manj * who did not know him
then will be glad to hear of his re-
nomination for this office. He
should have been elected two years
"ago but the people will try to give
' him a better vote this year and hope
7 for his election.
' " Judge -Towne has been a faithful
officer and will have very little op-
4 position. He is an old soldier and
. is liked by all who know him. He
is not a partisan and all parties agree
" that he is deserving of the position
be occupies. His decisions are
made without political favor or
personal influence. It will make
the old Judge happy to know that
his labor , however disagreeable at
times , have met with the approval
of an appreciative public.
Hugh Boyer , of Steene precinct ,
Is a competent man for the office
of surveyor , as is shown by the
confidence of all his neighbors who
want surveying done. He is cen
trally located andis acquainted with
the country where surveying is
needed. He is known to be honest
and conscientious. His work will
bo done right.
" D. W. Hilsinger is our popular
city marshal who knows no friends
'and fears no enemies in the dis-
.charge of his duty. He is popular
with everyone and gets along with
the people so well that few arrests
are necessary. Everybody is a
good man with him and everybody
is his friend. He is fearless in the
discharge of his duty , but does not
antagonize anyone nor is he ever
.found en gaging in disputes. There
13 better order in our town than
ver before. This man will make
a good sheriff.
Prof. R. H. Watscn is the prin
cipal of the Valentine schools. He
has not a superior as an instructor
in the western part of the state.
Dr. A. N. Compton is well known
and well liked everywhere he goes.
He has the confidence of Valentine
people and for coroner will make
a good officer.
J. P. Kreycik , of "Wood Lake
precinct , is well known and popu
lar at home. As he makes your ac
quaintance you will bo impressed
-r * j *
with his being a good man for coun
ty assessor.
Solomon L. Ellis is the merchant
at Simeon. He is well qualified
for the office of commissioner and
will be a fair man to deal with.
He will use every man right and
will be careful with county affairs.
He's always pleasant and uses good
horse sense in all affairs. If you
have never met him you will feel
like you are acquainted as soon as
you are in his presence. He is
out spoken but not offensive.
In all we have a county ticket
that should be elected. Every
man is honest , competent , and they
are worthy.
