A GOOD CANDIDATE SHERIFF. FOF It is not so much a matter as tu whether C. Sum Smith will h re elected sheriff of Crook county as it U a question of the people being satislicd with his administration and the conduct of his ollice dur ing his past t'rm. If the voters are aatisfied with both the latter requisite then he will be re-elected. And there is little doubt that both democrats and republicans alike will show their appreciation of his efforts when the ballots are cast in June. Mr. Smith has made a good sheriff. His efforts during his term of office have been for the people and with the people and it is doubtful whether a man better qualified to fill the office during the next two years can be picked. As a matter of common courtsey when satisfaction to both parties has been the rule he should be re turned. Not long ago there appeared in The Journal an article upbraiding tht county officials for alleged negligence in attempting to arrest certain miscreants. The article was written by a man who had Buffered at the hands of house breakers and who felt that the sheriff had failed to take steps to intercept the thieves. A short time afterwards the writer came to the city and found to his own sat isfaction that every effort possible had been made to secure the arrest of the guilty parties. Sheriff Smith had worked in a quiet and shrewd way. He had spent his own money in enlisting the ser vices of a man to watch certain districts and gain, if possible, enough evidence to warrent an ar rest. And the writer of the article in question apologized when he learned the facts. He found, too. that the best officers are mt al ways those, who exploit their actions and make public the methods by which they work to protect thecounty'8 interests and the interests of its residents. And that is only one incident out of many which have character ized Mr. Smith's administration as sheriff. If there is one instance in which he has failed to guard the interests, both public and private, during the past two years it hag not yet come to light. But there have been occasions, and many of them, in which he has shown his!fi ri i. J ri u ri L.J ri LJ ri LJ ri LJ ri L J ri LJ ri LJ ri LJ ri LJ ri LJ n L J ri LJ ri LJ n L J ri L J ri Charles A. Gilchrist, the repuh-j lican candidate for county clerk,! f$ comes well recommended before ji the county as the nominee for. 4 that office. A man of good educa- 4 tion and capabilities and clean morals, this is the first time in his ,i long residence in Crook county rn. that he has sought an ollice. It it to be hoped that he will be re warded by a majority of the votes cast in June. Crook county can well afford to be represented by a man so well qualified for the office. As a busi ness man he has met with marked success, and il is only reasonable to suppose tMt the same business system width he has instilled in to his own affairs would become a feature in his conduction of the county'a affairs as county clerk. Mr. Gilchrist's campaign will be clean one. He is neither a talk er nof a vole buyer, but has t'.i head full of brains a sterling quality which will make itself felt j 3 The Republican candidate is not as well known as many resid ents of Crook county who have lived here no longer than he, but the ability he possesses, the brainy characteristic of his makeup and the good name he Wars are general ly recognised, and these attributes are sufficient in themselves to to elect him to office, whether be is personally known to each in dividual voter or not.
