VOL. XXIV. PROMINENT WEST SIOERS ENTER THE RACE. After the election there will ev- ! idently be no county offices unfill ed, judging from; the number of applicants whose cards of an nouncement appear in this paper. Each week brings one or two good citizens to the front with an abundance of aspiration and the necessary enthusiasm for a politi cal bout. Mr. John A. Martin, a promi-j nent citizen of the West Side of , the county is another candidate who desires the office of Tax Col lector and is not afraid to make it knowu to his friends. He is a man of splendid bearing and capabili ty. and if he should be the winner in the battle of ballots, would make an efficient officer. Mr. Martin will claim many votes. The office of County Treasurer is again sought by Mr. John W.| Morrison, Sr. In the last cam- ! paign this clever gentleman made a strong pull for the place, but re tired at the end of the campaign with a good number of votes in his behalf. Mr. Morrison has long been associated with the atluirs of j the county and is well-known as an upright, honorable citizen. It is understood that he is out for this office on a plain business basis —for what there is in it and for what good he can do the county asi an officer having the interest of the people at heart.
