THE TICKETS COMPARED
Both the republican and democratic par-:
ties having nominated their tickets for the
" ensuing county election we give our readers
a: brief comparison of the merits of each
candidate as it seems to appeal to the aver
age mind.
FOR-STATE. SENATOR.
S. G. Thompson; of Monroe; tie demo.
cratic nominee is said to be a good repre
sentative citizen of -f his locality. - He is
comparatively little known m the country
at large; he has resided in the county, only
few years.
C. R Crosno of Toledo, republican candi
date, is a well known citizen of many-years
residence in the county. He has had con
siderable legislative experience and faith
fully served his county in the legislature
last. term,. The-interests of clean legisla
tion in general and of Benton county -in
particular will be placed" in his hands. It
is doubtful if another person eojaally well
posted on ' the needs of the' county and as
capable of working for them could hare
been placed in nomination..
' FOE " REPRESENTATIVES. .
J. W. Foster of Willamette, and B. E.
Gibson of Soap creek, both farmers, receive
ed the democratic nomination. Both are
young men, too" young to be sacrificed thus
early. Each is tolerably well acquainted in
the valley. Neither have had experience
in legislative matters and if elected' will
have the distinguished privilege of making
their maiden efforts in a republican legis
latnrc.
M. T. Starr of Monroe, and C. E. Moor
of North Corvallis, the republican candi
dates, are quite well known in the county.
Both are farmers." Mr. Starr is an unusually
intelligent young man, faithful to his party
and well informed as to the necessities of
Benton county. If elected -he will reflect
credit on his party aad subserve the best
interests of the state in his capacity as rep
resentative. C. E. Moor is too well known
to require an introduction. Year in and
year out, in the annals of the republican
party in Benton county and from the time
when the "memory of man runneth not to
the contrary" has he stood by the party;
always on the alert to keep the enemy
within his own territory.- Mr. Moor is a
farmer and is a man of unusual ability for
representative honors. He is a man of
large experience and Bound judgment and
if elected will serve the people well.
FOB COUNTY JUDGE.
W. S. Hufford, republican nominee, is an
attorney of Newport and has practiced his
profession in the county for a number of
years. He has filled several minor offices
in times past and if elected will make a
good judge. " " . ,
E. Holgate, the present incumbent, was
placed in nomination by his party to be his
own successor, which is an evidence that
they desire his re-election. As a faithful
guardian of the affairs of probate he has
had no superiors. - . , " ":
FOR SftEBWP. "
Wm. Mack ay, democrat, the present in
cumbent, is re-nominated. He seems to
have given satisfaction- to his party as
sheriff which is attested by his re-election
to a second and re 'nomination for a third
term.
W.A.. Jolly, of Philomath) precinct, is
republican candidate and is a good citizen,
of good habits and sound principles, and is
well qualified to fill the responsible office of
sheriff for the next two years. He is a
farmer by occupation and has always1 been
an ardent republican and should be elected.
FOB COUNTY CLERK.
J. J. Bryan of Philomath, present school
supt., is the democratic candidate. Mr.
Bryan is a yon tig man of good moral habits
and general! known in the county.
B. W. Wilson, better know as "Bush,"
was unanimously re-nominated by the re
publican con ven tiou for re-election. It is
unnecessary to state that ke is fully qual
ified to conduct the duties of the clerk's
office,' and that he is the popular choice is
well proven from his past record.
FOR ASSESSOR. " ' s
E. Skipton, democrat, and present in
cumbent, was re-nominated and is consider
ed by his party a strong man on the ticket;
But the republicans think-that their candi
date, -" ,
Willis Vidito of Alsea, will be the next
assessor, Mr. Vidito is a man of sound
ju Igment and an Untiring worker. If re
elected, the taxpayers may expect just and
equitable assessment throughout the county.
FOB- COMMISSIONER.
Wesley Hinton of Monroe, and a farmer
by ocenpatiou is the democratic candidate.
Mr. Hinton is credited with being a man of
good judgment and ordinary ability.
Frank Chambers, republican nominee, is
a farmer in King's valley and is well qnal
ified to act as commissioner. He is success
ful in business for himself and if elected as
commissioner will demonstrate to the peo
pie of Benton county that they have made
a wise selection.
- FOR TREASURER.
M. P. Burnett ' of Corvallis, the demo.
cratic nominee, is a young man of good
habits and ability. He is not verj well
known out of bis precinct but will prob
ably carry the strength of his party.
E. M. Belknap of Corvallis, the republi
can candidate is an old resident of Corvallis
and a well-deserving man for this office. If
elected, the public cash will be in safe
hands. He is a man of unquestioned in
tegrity and loyalty to his party, and is con
sidered to be a strong man on the ticket.
FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
Miss Nettie Spencer wilt wave the demo
cratic banner in this contest ad hi her-
nomination we have an experiment.- We
will not venture to psognosticate the result
Miss Spencer isa teacher of some reputa
tion. .
Hor opponent, Prof."' W. E. Yates, prin
cipal of the public schools of Corvallis, will
carry the republican colors and is fully com
petent to fill the office of school superin
tendent. He has had several years experi
ence in educational work, and is well
known to be one of the leading instructors
in the state. He U an indefatigable worker
and will administer th functions of super
intendent, if elected, with credit to himself
and profit to the ruing generation...
FOR SURVEYORS
A; L. Porter, . democrat, wns.- are-nominated
with slight opposition, -and while he
has served one term already to-he satisfac
tion of all concerned."
, We think that Victor Hurt, republican 1
candidate, will poll a larger, vote, both ouH
account of his well known' ability as a sur
veyor and by reason of his individual popu
larity. He is a strong, man.-
