The Journal takes pride in presenting the republican candidates to the voters of Platte county. They are a group of men to inspire confidence. They are pledged to destroy the spoils system, which working chiefly through the offi ces of county judge and sheriff and county clerk has been stealing away the property owner's money in high taxes. Voters are all agreed that a "house cleaning" is needed at the court house. Here are the men pledged to do it. Give them a trial. w. l.. SMITH. W. L. Smith of Monroe, the repub lican candidate for county treasurer, was horn in Ohio in the fifties and came to Platte county nearly thirty years ago. He received a good com mon school education in the east and has had considerable business exper ience, having been engaged in the mercantile business and the grain bus iness iu Monroe for several years. At the present time he is farming. Mr. Smith has the best endorsement that any man can have, namely the ei -dorsement of the people among whom he has lived so many years. Mr. Smith is amply qualified to perform the duties of treasurer. J. d. stii:i. J. Dayton Stires, the republican candidate for county judge, was born in New Jersey in 1853. His early education was received in the common schools and an academy in New Jer sey, in the seventies he came west, studied law in Iowa University, grad uating from that institution in 1SS2, first in his class obtaining a prize for hi? marked scholarship. He practic ed law and was engaged successfully in the banking business a't Cedar Kapids, Neb., for several years, coming to Columbus seventeen ycar. ago, since which time he has practiced law successfully in Platte county. Besides having the legal qualifications without which no man is qualified to perform the important legal duties of county judge, Mr. Stires' reputation for strict honesty, his high moral ideals and his even agreeable temper ament peculiarly fit him to look aftei the complex probate matters which come to that office from the hand of the widows and orphans. Da. H. G. Mourns. Dr. II. G. Morris of Crcston, republi can candidate for coroner is practically a Platte county product and he has all the qualities of a sure winner. All he needs is to meet the voter?. They will do the rest, lie came to Creston at the age of eleven with his father who had been county surveyor of Frontier coun ty. He graduated from the Creston high school, attended the Chicago medi cal college one year and then entered the Omaha medical college from which he graduated with honors three years later. Dr. Morris is a young man who has pushed his own way to the front. He is as popular where he is known as he is modest. He is a favorite with the base ball boys throughout this part of the state, where he is known as one of the best pitchers in Nebraska. Dr.Mor ris.Iike his popular young running mate Bruce Webb, will draw practically a solid vote from the north end of the county, not only for himself but for the rest of the republican ticket for which he is willing to vouch. Bbcce Webb. Bruce Webb, republican candidate for sheriff, was cnt out to win in anything he cares to go after, and he is as sure to be elected sheriff as the democratic press of Platte county is to fail to pub lish the record on which the democratic candidates claim to stand. Bruce Webb is one of a large family of .boys, who for thirty-six years, practically all his life, has lived in Nebraska. He has a good common school education, backed by wide experience in the real estate and sale business, and directed by one of the most generous, honest and good nalured dispositions that ever graced any man. Wherever Bruce Webb is known he is a favorite. The Madison county people came to Platte county to coax him to act as marshal of the day at the Madison county fair, simply because they liked him after his long residence in Madison. Every young man becomes .his fast friend upon meeting him once, and his bright, courageous face inspires the confidence at once of older men. Bruce is farming near Creston, but his sale business has reached such proportions that he doesn't have time for the farm. in tact no auctioneer in AeDrasKa is covering a larger territory. Ed. Lcsiexski. Ed. Lusienski, republican candidate for county clerk, will bring as many qualifications to this office as any other man on the ticket. Though a young man, he has had training which pecu liarly fits hiai for the office. Being of Polish birth, he could serve the large DID YOU EVER SEE SO MANY CLOCKS? ' All kinds, from the gilt or gun metal diminutive, small enough to carry, in your vest pocket, to the huge, towering, massive Grandfather Clocks for hall or library.

In business he has had ex perience as clerk for four years in the general merchandise store of Ripp v Greisen of Platte Center and as manager of an elevator at Tnrnov for Mrs.Kehoe. His integrity has never been questioned, and he has a quick, keen mind that will readily master the details of the connty clerk's office. Xo voter who wants to break the printing trust in Platte county will fail to vote for Ed. Lusienski. O. II. Smith. O. H.
