The difference in the books of the

those erroneou-- gentlemen that is
ridiculous to the people who know
them both. The errors are on both
sides and the incompetency that is
back of the errors is about, evenly dis-
tributed.

The rebates that Adler has made on
the delinquent tax penalty for personal
and political favor were made at the ex-
expense of the people of Ixjgan county.
The money that should be paid as a
penalty forVleflnuency is the people's
money. The giving away of it by Adler
is misuse and a breach of faith.
ihe republican nominees for the of-
fice of county commissioner are all
good business men and capable of
looking after the affairs of the county.
The coun y cannot afford to have other
than ihe best, men in the office of coun-
ty commissioner. The best men are
the republican nominees.
N. J. C. Johnson is capable of doing
his work in a manner that will lea\o
no room for the people to find fault.
The reports that the county clerk's
office should innke and file will be
made and filed. There is no doubt^
about tho superiority of Johnson over
Dobson as county clerk.
The county clerk of Logan counly
has failed for five quarters to com-
ply with the law requiring him to file
with the register of deeds. If he ig-
nores the law in this matter have the
people any assurance that ho will not
also ignore it in more vital if not more
important matters.
Johnson has as much experience in
the office of county clerk. He knows
its requirements and will be able to
meet them. That is more than tho
democratic candidate, who is the pres-
ent incumbent, has been able to lo so
far. The people need good men in tho
county offices
Mr Jone:; has allowed five days to
elapse in which he might have begun
proceedings against Adler to recover
the money wrongfully withheld from
the people. Is this delay in keeping
