Last week his attack was upon .J. S. Taylor, this week he attacks the pri vate character of Adam Baumunk. We have no reason to helieve that the honest and reputable Democrats of this county are in sympathy with this kind of political warfare. Mr. Baumunk is well known as an hon est, trustworthy, hard working far mer. If such a man cannot escape slander and detraction, who is safe? The answer Chairman Scouten will get to these attacks will he by the people at the polls. —The Prohibitionists of Sullivan Co. made the following nominations at their convention at Eagles Mere Sept. t Ith. For County Treasurer, David Mulinaus, Millview; County Commissioners, J. 11. Hoffman, Ilillsgrove, and 11. Boatman, Sonestown; County Auditors, Win. li. Johnson, Lopez, and Arthur Granger, Millview. —lt was the eminently qualified and honest principles found in Otto Belir that placed him before the people as a candidate for Treasurer, and not any political aspirations of his own. lie is desrevedly popular where ever known because his good (iernian qualities ever predominates. Make him County Treasurer and you will make no mistake. —Adam Haumunk, candidate for county commissioner, is one of Sull ivan county's greatest respected citi zens. He comes from honest, indus trious (iernian stock, and is one of the chief factors in developing the county's farming industry. Farm ing has been his study and occupa tion for life and 11® one better knows the farmers needs and how they should be represented than he. Mr. Baumunk is the proper man for this important ottiee. Properly qualified men and not party issues should he the ruling features at the polls. J. S. Taylor, candidate for county commissioner, is a business man with a business turn of mind and cultivated business habits. There is 110 county office that requires a thoro ughly trained business man more than the office of commissioner. To properly transact county affairs is a huge business undertaking and re quires a capable financier to success fully cope with the vast affairs and discharge business obligations in a competent, ecoiiomial and honest manner. There is 110 better business man in the county than J. S.Taylor, and we add without any fear of de nial that there is not a more honest, conscientious man, a man who ail hears most strictly to the principles of right lliuii Mr. Taylor,to l>e found in Sullivan county. lie should he made eommir-sioner by all means.
