CLYDE ROSSETI
DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE
FOR SHERIFF OF
CHERRY COUNTY
Clyde A. Rosseter of Barley precinct is the demo
cratic candidate for sheriff of this county. He is person
ally known to a great many of our citizens , but for the
benefit of those who dp not know him , we want to ? ay
just a word about him and about his campaign for this
office. Lest our estimate of the man might &eem flavor
ed by partisan prejudice , we will first quote what the
editor of the Cody Cow Boy , the official republican pa
per of this comity , said about him when he first became
a candidate for the nomination. This is what Mr.
Heath said :
CLYDE ROSSETER
One day last week this gentle
man phoned in from his ranch and
asked to be announced as A demo
cratic candidate for the nomina
tion for sheriff , and with the spirit
of fairness towards every man , and
especially to one we have known
for more than a dozen years , we
feel like giving him what he wants ,
or rather an even chance in the
race for the office. At the risk of
seeming out of place for a repub
lican paper to give a democratic
candidate a write-up , we want to
say that Clyde Rossetcr is a man
in whom his party may place all
confidence , and if nominated , his
party will have a candidate for
whom they need make no apolo
gies. We do not expect to see
him secure the office , but if he
should it will be run without grafter
or dishonor in any form.
It so happens that the write ? has known him for
even a longer period than has Mr. Health. We have
known him since he was a boy in knee breeches , and ,
having known him even longer than the editor of the
Cow Boy , we have still more faith in him and believe he
will be elected. As a boy Clyde Rosseter was popular
with all classes. He was the leader jof his bunch of boys.
He was respected by the grown men and he was loved by
' the girls. He had likable qualities in his youth and' he
has them today. If you doubt it , ask any of Ins neigh
bors. They will tell you that he is a good neighbor and
a good citizen and will make a good officer. You can't
find a man who has known him that will not speak well of
him. His old friends and acquaintances are scattered
around over Northwestern Nebraska , where lie has lived
all his life. Ask any of them what they think of hire ;
ask any of them what kind of a sheriff he will make. He
is a product of the plains. He knows western life. He j
was born in Nebraska , educated in Nebraska and is raising - !
ing his family in Nebraska. He has ; never waited for
soft snaps but has taken hold of anything he has had to A
do and has done it just as well as anyone else could do it. I >
Me started right , and he had the right material in him
and he made good.
When a boy he was ambitious for an education and
he never stopped until he had worked his way through
the Congregational Academy at Chadron. When he had
done this he did not wait around for anything easy to do.
He came to Cherry county and engaged in the stock busi
ness. That was ten years ago. He built up a nice little
ranch south of Cody , then he went back to Chadron and
married one of the best girls that ever grew up in that
city , and brought her to Cherry county where they have
made their home ever since. His children are now of
school age and there -is no school in the neighborhood of
their ranch. It is that he-may secure educational ad
vantages for his children that he is now willing to give
up the ranch and become sheriff. His ambition to secure
an education for his little ones is laudable , and we know
him well enough to know that when he starts in to se
cure an education for his children he is going to do it.
When he determined on an education for himself he got
it. He has never failed in anything since.
He is making a campaign that is bound to appeal to
the voters and we believe he will prove 'a ' winner. And
when he has won , he will meet the expectations of his
friends. In the language of his republican friend , uhe
- . will run the office without graft or dishonor in any
form. " ' *

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR
The office of county assessor is one of the most im
portant offices to be filled at the coming election. The
object of changing from the old law under which pre-
' cin'ct assessors were elected to the new law creating the
office of county assessor was to place -the assessment of
property under one general head and to secure uniform
ity bf assessment throughout the county. The man that
is selected to do this work ought to be a man of good
judgment ; of wide experience , and possessing a fair de
gree of education. A man may be a good fellow and still
Jack all of these qualities. It is a mistake to think that
the importance of an office depends upon the amount of
salary paid. The salary may attract some men but the
all important question with the voter is the quality of
'service he will receive.
Before P. H. Young consented to become a candi
date for this office he made a study of the duties of the
office , and if elected , he will go into office with a know
ledge of what he has to do. If anyone will take the
trouble to visit the county clerk's office and ask for the
records made by the county assessor he will be surprised
to see the amount of technical work that officer is re
quired to do. He will see that no man can fill that office
unless he has more than the ordinary education. Ln this
respect Mr. Young is admirably fitted for the place. If
he is elected assessor he will npt have to rely on others
to make Ids calculations and to prepare his books. He
will be able to do the work himself ,
Mr. Young's home is at Simeon where he lias been
engaged in the live stock business for a number of years
and where he has one of the best small ranches in the
county. He does not belong to any clique or faction , if
elected he will give you a business administration.
SCHOOL KOTES.
BY I'KOF. U. II. WATSON.
Mrs. Anna Carson of class ' ( Mr ,
in company with Mrs. Howard
LaypoTt , visited the school Fri
day. Mrs. Watson and myself
called at Mr. Layport's on Satur
day in hops of getting to see the
twins , but Mrs. Carson had taken
them to the ball game.
Mrs. "W. A. Pettycrew spent
.Monday afternoon visiting the
school and remained for the regu
lar teachers' meeting which is held
every Monday at 4r p. m. Mrs.
Pettycrew says that what is now
the 9th grade was her lint grade
when she began leaching in Val
entine , but she recognizes few faces
that were in her class at that time , i
Miss Holly has Si students in
her beginning class in Latin and j
just o5 minutes in which to hear
the class recite. Of course we <
must expect quite a number of I
[ failures. Nearly her entire time
must be given to instructing the
class asa whole and very little
time for bringing up the slow
members ,
Mrs. Zella Olrnstead and Miss
Mollie Gunderson visited the high
school on Tuesday.
We have 3S members in the 9th
grade algebra class and 35 minutes
in which to hear the class recite.
Of course the ones who ask ques
tions fully and listen closely to all
class explanations will come out all
j right , but it must be rather a hard
year for the backward and timid
1 ones.
Miss Nelda Hoofs came to Val
entine Monday to enter the high
school. We already had too many
in our 9th grade , but as she had
been with us last year and had
shown herself a very worthy stu
dent in the tsth grade , we made
room for her in the 9th grade.
