the voters of Douglas county bhould

should vote or John II. Shupo fur
county clerk, because during a lifs epent
iu Douglas county, there has never been
a whisper against his character for hon

two years he has tilled the important
positiou of county l-rk to the satisfac

Because bis opp onent.'cau't do better and
might do worse. We think that A, F.
Stearns should bs re-elected county judge
because during tho four years be has held
the olliee be has been a wise, just, and
economical cjunly judge. Becanse he
has so manage! the business of tho
county lhat ho has in ad lit ton to paying
a largi auuuuut of iuterett on the county
indebtedness, reduced the amount of
that indebtedness more than iO.OOO. Is
not that enough? We thiuk Heorge
