Editor OltiurmriA the time Rr
holding cur county convention draw
near we frequently bear the name of
various candidates nientloned In other,
part of the county, and for u in th
south-eastern part of the county, we
do not think it but Just and right that
w be allowed to place In tbe field a
candidate on the republican ticket for
county commissioner. We will name
a a candidate tor that plaetvJame
Helmlck of Parker' HUtlon. Belug
one of our substantial farmer, a heavy
tax payer, and well-qualllk-d to fill the
position, we believe be should receive
the hearty commendation of tlie voter
of Polk couuly In general. Votkb.
, Hie Wkht Sidb heartily second thl

and knowa tbe valoe of g's4 read.
He I a ucoessful business man and
will conduct our county affairs on bus

"crotchets" of any kind and will meet
wltb the approval, we believe, of the
voter of the county Irrespective of
