sheriff of Lincoln county
Since the untimely and unlooked-
for death of Sheriff Geo. K. Arnold
ther*- have been two avowed can-
didates for the office- J H. Lock-
wood and H. L. Brown, both of Chan-
dler and both former residents of the
southwest part of the county. Upon
the occasion of the regular meeting
of the hoard of county commissioners,
September 4th. the matter of tilling
* the vacancy arose and was discussed
pro and con by the board members.
Mr. Lockwood Ifleil endorsements of
a majority of the members of the re-
publican county committee. Mr.
Brown was to present a petition.
After a thorough discussion the board
decided to be guided by the action*
of the republican county committee
and asked that a meeting be called.
Pending this the applications of both
men were rejected.
Chairman M. \V. Lynch called a
meeting of the committee for Septem-
ber 17th. at which time it was under-
stood the board would be in session.
On the date set committeemen
from 4 4 of the 53 precincts of the
county were present. ^The session was
called to order by Chairman Lynch,
the call read and roll call of pre-
cincts had. Then Oscar Presson of
Stroud placed Mr. Lockwood in nom-
ination while P. A. Johnson of South
Wichita presented Mr. Brown's name.

qualifications required by a good of-
ficer and his friends are confident '
that he will make good.
Of course there was opposition to]
him. That is but natural where such
an office is the stake. But now that
the contest has been decided, all true
republicans will back the choice of
the committee until he proves un-
worthy. If he makes good he is en-
titled to the support of the party.
The time to censure is when a public
official fails to live up to his obliga-
tions.
Of course, also, as is the usual
thing, our friends, the democrats—
some of them—have taken a great
interest in tliis contest and you may
safely leave it to them to cause all
the dissension possible. That's their
business—to create dissension in re-
publican ranks. Their object is plain
and it is a safe bet that the seed
they are sow ing broadcast will almost
wholly fall upon barren soil.
