We beleive the judgment of the Dong! as county voters can be depended upon. They possess the faculty of discrimination necessary to give us the lest men for all these offices, as well as the state offices. That the republican party stands for progress and prosperity none will deny, while the opposition party has more than once demonstrated the fact clearly to all that it stands for the opposite, hence, admitting that the men on the state and county tick et are about equal us far as qualifica tions and fitness go?p, is it not a good policy for th voter to cast bis ballot for the candidates who stand for the party which has more than "once rescued the country from the ruin wrought through the follies and incompetency of the opposing party? f The republicans of this county, contrary to th- democrats, have ccn dacted a clean, straightforward cam paign, wholly on party principles and the splendid record of the present re publican county officials, who have filled every requirement of their re epectiv offices an i served tho public faithf ally and well, at the same time carefully guarding the county' best interests while keeping up its im- j provements. The present county court has also done its full share to ward keeping Douglas county up with the steady march of progress along with the other progressive counties of the state. The voters and taxpayers should therefore be con-' tent and let well enough alone, un less they think as we do, that the condition could yet be somewhat im proved by placing an unbiased, im partial and straightforward business man in the assessor's office; a man who will equalize the county's assess ment, show no favoritism and con duct hio offic 1 in tho same non-partisan manner which th other county office are conducted and G.W'.Staley, of Youcaila is a nia 1 who would fill this requirement md long felt want to a dot. Now let the voters ponder well and come fully to the realization that they are about to cast their ballots for weal or woe, for a t-et of men tried and true or for a mere experi ment ia officials who promise to be no more efficient an! progressive than those whoa "fala economy' caused the pounty to retrograde un der the incompetent "union'' regime.
