Show f . . petent public officers. Y e do not believe be-lieve they can fini'the equal of the Ra publican candidates on any other ticket. We believe this splendid ticket will command the support of citizens generally gen-erally and be elected. Let us not be satisfied in sending a Republican to congress. Let us give Salt Lake county the best set of county officials ever had by electing all the Republican candidates for county offices. THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

Smith will serve tha people better as county attorney attor-ney than Walter Murphy? Can you hesitate betweeu James E. Jennings and W. F. Lynn for treasurer? The composition of the county court is very important. No ticket in the field compares favorably with the Republican Re-publican candidates for selectmen, who are Samuel Perry, John Butter and L.G.Hardy. Are not these men far superior to the candidates named by the Liberal and Democratic parties? These are questions for taxpayers. In electing county officers the peopl are not thinking of protection, free trade or statehood. They want good government. govern-ment. They want able, clean and, com- |
