REPUBLICANS PROUD TO PRESENT THEIR CANDIDATES . • • FOR OFFICE.

Tuesday, November 5, the voters of I Jasper county will be called upon to select a number of men for public office. The following are presented by the Republican party. A number of these men are now in office and their efficiency is well known. That they will be asked to continue in the positions now entrusted to them there can be no doubt. Hon. William R. Wood, of Lafay- .-j ette, our representative in the national house of representatives, has proven himself to be a real servant of Ins people and he will receive the solid Republican vote of this county. He has been so faithful to the duties of his office that many .Democrats feel it their duty to cast their vote for him also. He is not a rubber stamp, but is a live wire, active, efficient, thoroughly loyal, straightforward and ready at ; all times to render the very best ser- , vice possible to his people regardless of party. His continued service is a i matter of great importance to the people of ten Indiana congressional i district and his broad statesmanship make him a most valuable man to this , country in matters of national import- | ance. Will Brown, of Hebron, our canda-' i date, for state senator, is eminently ] qualified for the position to which i he aspires. He is possessed with a i clean character and splendid ability, i Where best known he will receive ] the strongest endorsement from the • members of both parties. He is an i ideal candidate and is a sure winner, i W. L. Wood, of Parr, the Republican candidate for joint representative, i has done his work so well in the Xndi- i ana house of representatives, that he i is sure of the solid Republican vote 1 and also a very large number of votes i from the opposite party. No man in : the Indiana state legislature has been ] more faithful to his home people and i also the best interests of this great i commonwealth. Recognition of honest, efficient service assures his re- • election as our member of that important law-making body. J. C. Murphey, of Morocco, is the I Republican nominee for the important office of prosecuting attorney. He is qualified in every particular . for this important work. He is from our neighboring county and deserves the splendid support that the people of that county always give to candi- i dates from this county. Our candidate for clerk of the circuit court is Jesse Nichols. It is the unanimous verdict of all who have business connected with this office that the duties of the county clerk were never better administered. Mr. Nichol s is courteous, painstaking, efficient and constantly at his post of duty. His duties as a county official and as a member of the conscription board have 'been straightforward, clean, open and above board. Not a single act of his can be pointed out that does not square absolutely. Schuyler C. Robinson, of Gillam township, is the embodiment of qualifications for the important office of county auditor. He has a splendid ' college training and is a man cap- ‘ able of handling successfully large ‘ business matters. He is a member of J one of the best families that have * long brought honor to this county. F Those who know him regardless of r party are pleased to give him their ’ hearty support. His election mpaqs a " continuation of the splendid service " in this most important office. 1 John T. Biggs, of Wheatfield, the B Republican candidate for county treasurer, has no opposition. This is - a fitting tribute to the man and also to the loyalty and devotion of Wheat- !■ field and Wheatfield township. For sheriff our candidate is True D. [ Woodworth. True is capable of giv- ; ing this office the very best of ser- > vice. He is a young man, full of I energy, and will give to his official ! duties his entire time and attention. ! He will personally conduct the office. ! He bears an enviable reputation for E lbe strictest honesty, and faithfulness to every trust. He is a member of the ; Liberty Guard and for a number of 1 years was a member of the miKtia • company of this city! He is making a ' very great sacrifice in his devotion to ! his duties as a member of the Liberty ! Guard organization. Willis J.. Wright, our candidate for ; coroner, is all right. The people di' ;■ the county are fortunate to have the ; offer of the splendid service of this i efficient business man. > Edgar D. Nesbitt, Republican eani didate for county surveyor, has shown ! by his splendid service that he is the ; man for the place. Democrats an< Republicans recognize this and he is unopposed for re-election. G. L. Thornton, Republican candi- ! date for county assessor, is no experi- ! ment. He was placed upon the ticket ! for this office because of his ability L and his faithfulness in the discharge ►of hi s duties. He is careful and straightforward in his private business affairs and that same strict integrity ' is manifested in the discharge of his 1 public service. For county commissioner of the T first district the Republicans present [ the name of Bert Amsler, of Marion ; township. He is a decided success in ' his own business affairs. He is self reliant and wiH not be wish-washy and

wabbling in his discharge of his duties as commissioner. While a staunch Republican he will not exercise partisanism in the discharge of his official duties. The business interest of the county will be carefully looked after by Mr. Amsler. Efficient and faithful service mWre It imperative that Charles A. Welch continue as commissioner from the third district No public official has ever given to this county better service than Mr. Welch. Mr. Welch has the confidence and is sure not only of the support of the Republicans hut also of a very large per cent of the Democrats, of the county. The prejrent county council consisting of the following, H. George W. May, Elmer E - M. Hart, T. J. Prouty, Wadftpgton Cook and Wester Bowdy, tove been placed upon the Republican ticket for re-election. Their eb&ty, unffiiM*ing honesty recommend that they be continued to be entrusted to supervise the county expenditures. Care was taken to place upon the Republican township tickets men of sterling worth, strict honesty and business .ability. They one and all deserve the united support of > united party. The entire state, district, county and township Republican tickets have been selected with one idea in mind, and that is to select those “who can best serve.” Every Republican may be justly proud m the fact that he can best serve his own and his a STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET.
