W. H. MILLER FOR COUNTY CLERK
To the People of Gold Hill
and Vicinity—
HE NEWS desires to affirm, however tardy it may seem in
the doing, its unqualified support and approval af the can­
T
didacy of W. H. Miller of this city, democratic nominee for the
office of county clerk. In this it realizes that the recommenda­
tion of the press is largely perfunctory, and that platitudes and
praise alike are little needed when the candidate, whoever he
may be, possesses to a large degree the comradship and confi­

reiterating that which the countryside is is entirely familiar
with ,is approached more as a m atter of form than of any neces­

sity for service in his behalf. To begin with, Mr. Miller is a
native son, and no capitalization is needed to call attention to
the fact. The spirit of a clime locally—ami with justification -
presumed to be inherent with the sons of the West, is made
manifest in his greeting and his friendship Moreover, through
this fact, he is possessed of an early and intim ite knowle Igo of
local conditions essential to the proper administration of the not
unimportant office he seeks. His reconi is here a t home, easily
accessible to the few who are not already familiar with the char­
acteristics of competency and integrity which so readily recom­
mend him to the people of the valley and Jackson county gener­
ally. His present candidacy is his first bid for popular endorse­
ment, and is born solely of a desire to conserve the interests of
each taxpayer, to enlist for a time in the public service of his
county, and to put a square toe to needless expenditure and
petty leaks in county office, which in the aggregate constitute no
inconsiderable portion of the tax burden. That he would, if
elected, mrke a signal success of his administration of the office
of county clerk is the belief of The News and a host of more im­
portant friends and authorities. Party partisanship should
have but little—rather nothing—to do with the selection of the
county officials. The livery is not essential, but merely an inci­
dental, to the proper transaction of county affairs and public
business, and if the common sense estimate of competency and
fitness for office is applied, the voters of Jackson county will en-
» dorse Henry Miller’s candidacy with unanimous eclat.
