Oorvallis Times. Cffidal Payer of Beatea Uuty." OOBVAXXJ8, OBBGOBT, MAY 4, ISO. PETER SICKARD. It is always a matter of pleasnre to be able to say of a citizen, there is a man who is, indeed a man. j There are men, and there are men; but in the genuine, unalloyed ar ticle, there are always the four es sentials of integrity, sobriety, prud ence and goodness. Measured by this standard, there is one man in Benton county of whom not one who knows him will hesitate to say, "He is, indeed, a man." That one is Peter Rickard, ex-sheriff and ex commissioner. Known from bord er to border of the county, respect ed and honored by his political op ponents, idolized by his own par tisans and esteemed always and ev erywhere, Peter Rickard, is before the voters for election to the office of commissioner. For four years, he served the people in that posi tion, a most difficult position to satisfactorily fill, and yet it is true of him that his honesty of purpose and sincerity of motive is such that ', not one word of criticism was ever uttered against him as a result of his administration of the office. On the contrary, he . was called from the commissionership to the sheriffs office, and there for four years he ser vedthe people of the county with that same steady goodness and sincerity that made the man and his name respected and esteemed in every home in the county. - Peter Rickard did not seek the " nomination for commissioner. It is a rase of the office seeking the man, because universally and ev erywhere in the county, there is a feeling that he is the man for the position. Conservative in all things, determined when necessary, just and honest in every act, a man of affairs, successful in his own busi ness, Peter Rickard is essentially and distinctively the man whom the people want for the place. PUSHING HIS CAMPAIGN. Horace Locke is making an ag' gressive campaign for the office of county recorder. He is.' a .."tho roughly honest and straightfor ward boy, ready to help himself and energetic in the effort to do so. He is himself, and always has been of the plain people, and his candi dacy appeals strongly,, to them. "Wherever he has gone, through the country, he has been warmly received, and a strength has de veloped that will be far stronger by election day.

A MATTER OF BUSINESS. , The candidacy of Victor Moses for cleric is on his merits- as an ofhV cial. He has -' been tried in the place,: - and the result - is fully known. No county in Oregon ev er had a better clerk, and few have had as good a one.' As excellent in their work as were the late B. W. Wilson and Virgil Waiters it is no injustice to say -that in some respects Mr. Moses is even super ior to them. He is an expert as a typewriter and since their time a typewriting machine has been ev olved that can be used in making county records. Its use puts per haps three times as much matter on a page and the expense for pur chase of record books ; is ... corres pondingly saved. Copying can be done three times as fast with it as can be done by hand, which results in a great saving of time. In ad dition, typewritten records are up-to-date, modern, and the only pro per -way for keeping public records. Incidentally, Mr. Moses has pur chased his own machine, and has placed it at the disposal of the county. Thus, the question of Victor Moses re-election, becomes not what are his party ; affiliations, but a cold business proposition- so plain that it cannot be dodged, de nied or evaded. He ought to be re-elected to a second term in ' the office because he is the best man in the countv for the place, because it is economy for the 'taxpayers to do so, and because there should be recognition and reward for a man so prompt, so faithful, so capable and so obliging in the discharge of his duty. - ; ; BILLY BUCHANAN. , r. The proper and only place for the county treasurer's office is at the court house, and that is where Billy Buchanau has always kept it, When a man receives his county warrant in the clerk's offi:e, it is convenient for him to cross' the hall to the treasurer's office ' and there have his arrant either ' en dorsed or - cashed. In the room provided for the treasurer, there' is a fire proof vault, where valuable books and papers are intended to be, and always should - be. kept.. Ever since Billy Bushanan has been treasurer the latch string has always hung out on his office door at the court house, and it will con tinue to hang there just the same at all times if Mr. Buchanan is re elected. : Ice cream season opens at Starr's May 5th, 8aturday.
