C. Eales, Owner and Editor For County Clerkship JOHN A. HUNTER WILL RUN. Popular and Efficient Official Seeking Nomination on the Republican Ticket. J.

A. Hunter announces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the office of county clerk. In as much as Mr. Hunter is known to about as many people as the Tribune, it would seem unnecessary to offer any introduction in his case. He has lived here in Harvey county 41 years, his boyhood being spent on the farm.

Hunter is one of those steady, reliable citizens who can always be counted upon to be standing on the right side of public questions. He is progressive in his attitude toward community afiairs. His service as a Republican official has been above reproach, and the close knowledge of his personality, his habits, his attention to business, and careful handling of public affairs has caused many friends all over the county to insist on him again becoming a candidate for the office of clerk of the county, and he has concluded to make the race. No more or accommodating official has ever been in charge of any office in the county than he. Mr.

Hunter's acquired knowledge and familiarity with the laws, the duties and functions of all departments of the county business, makes his services valuable, much more so no doubt than a new man would be in the place, The county is now erecting several concrete bridges, andthe work of laying out and looking after the maintenance of county roads has been but well started. The detail of this work will fall upon the clerk as all are well aware. The handling of the tax rolls, the making up of the tax abstracts and furnishing the data to the state officers are intricate and tedious tasks, but none have ever fallen behind or been neglected while Hunter has been in charge of the clerical work of the county. Personally Mr. Hunter is a clean courteous gentleman.

He is identified as director in the Y. M. C. A. and is a loyal supporter of the Newton Commercial club, always works with committees.

promotes the interests of the farmers at, all times, and is a booster for Harvey county at all times. He has always been a staunch and consistent Republican, has proven himself a good campaigner, and if his party sees its way clear to give him this nomination, there is not the least doubt but what he will add strength to the ticket; and will exert every honorable effort to win the election in November.
