Show Logan's Candidates. Emer Crockett, the present maishal and candidate for re-election, was nominated at the convention despite the fact that he had lepeatedly said he did not caic for the place. He has made a good olllccr, and while not as stilct In ceitain phases of the work as we believe a maishal should have been, there aie sometimes extenuating extenuat-ing circumstances that lead a man to follow the dictates of his heart lathei than the haishnessof his Judgment. A significant fact Is that the saloon men in the' convention wcic against Ciockett. 31 r. II. A. Pedcrscn, candidate for Justice of the Peace, Is thoroughly qualified for the position and during the past two years has handed the affairs pei tabling to tho ofllco with honesty and fidelity. The lecords of his office will refute any testimony against him and he is willing to risk his election on that scoic. And by the way, the ictords arc tho best evidence of a man's qualifications and disposition so far as the law is concerned. con-cerned. HlUTltEASUltEK. Mr. Hy rum Ciockett comes fiom a family of Demociats, but has alwa.vs steadfastly adheied to the piogressive doctilnesof thcG. O. P. lie Is an intelligent joung man, w ith a flawless life before the public and is a tuisted emplojee of tho First National Rank. Tho assumption that the treasurer's office llghtfully belongs to the women Is lldlculous and will cut no ice so far as tho vote for Ciockett is concerned. Tho treasuicr's oftice,first of all, needs a competent person in charge, and one who can and will control tlieoillco and not permit Intel fcrence from tho outside. This Mr. Ciockett would be. FOIt KKCOIIUKU. Mrs. O. C. Ormsby, the Democialic candidate, is a most pleasant woman of undoubted ability, and If she doesn't draw the full sticngthof the Democratic Demo-cratic party, then wo must believe that that party is composed of most unappreclatlve people. Rut there Is not a single leason why every Republican should not give his loial and hearty support to Miss Hattle Smith, tho present recorder and Republican nominee. Miss Hattle has served the past two jears to the perfect satisfaction of all and Is so accomodating and obliging at all times that one must necessarily feel that she Is exactly the right woman In the light place. She has every quality to commend hei to the public's favor and should be retained In the olllce for another term. |
