Sketches of Public Services and Qualifications
of Republican Candidates from
Clare County. •
WELL DISTRIBUTED OVER THE COUNTY;-  •
Candidates are Men of WideNExperience in.Public Affairs--
* '^il Farmers and Business Men of Marked Ability.

The Sentinel believes that in the
very nature of free government, parties are necessary. As ir, reads history
no oilier means has yet^-been devised
for the perpetuation of free institutions than through political parlies.
It therefore be ieves in g* vernmeot
by p-irties and history shows in the
main such government is caTted ou
the more successfully if there a--e tw)
great parties us ncar'y (ijjs'i as may
be Without cm • this- definite p 11 J
cies c -nuot b"*. established aod carried
Out and without this our citizens cannot be given an opportunity to expres--
their desires concerning governmental
principles and policies in the btate
and nation.
The Sentinel not only believes in
parties'but it a'sa believes that the
principles and policies of the republican party as interpreted by Theodore,
Boosevelt and those associated directly or indirectly with him, make for
the greatest good of the country, nation, statejand county.
Concerning the candidates of any
other parties the Sentinel has not
one word of disparagment. Ibsimply
recognizes them as honest men with
'honest convictions. But as a firm
believer in republican policies it advocates the election, of repubUcan candidates, national state, district and
county. Ib believes that the nominees
on the repnblican tlckea are worthy of
the people's confidence and that they
possess those qualities that fit them
for the duties of the office for which
they are nominated. It is from this
standard that sotne of the c-ualifica*-
tlons of these republican candidates
are presented.
L   L. KSLLEY FOK REPEESENTATIVE
Dr. Kelley is a typical pr ""duct of
our country here ancl thoroughly conversant with its conditions. Ear
more than a quarter of a century hf
has travelled a large area in thef-e
c. unties m (h? pr.ctic-i of His profe
sion and also has become large y inti-r
ested agriculturally. He ably r. pre
senttd the district in the leg s'atim
during the present lerm and wis re
nominated by the unanimous vo'e trf
ths convention with a fu 1 repres-n'a
teous to allj accurate and prompt tn
the smallest detail, and painstaking,
combined with marked ability, he is
just the man for county Clerk and register. He is a popular official and
worthy of your support, Mr. Voter, at
the polls November. 6bh. 4
■FOVL    S1IEHIFF  ROBERT   HUTCHINSON,
Robert. Hutchinson of Sheridan,
of Sheridau, now ■serving his flrst
term as sheriij, is in every way deserving of reelection. His nomination at
the convention was made without a
dissenting vote. He is a most effloi*
ent officer, hones'*, faithful and depend-
sbraighten out a tangle in the county
drain commissioner's account. He
has never-been found wanting in
any position of trust to which he has
been called. In the person of Mr.
Goodman the county would have an
excellent official as treasurer. In the
past he was always popular at the
polls in local elections and the Sentinel predicts for him a substantial
majority when the vote is counted
November 6th. Give him your vote.
For Pros. Atty. John Quinn.
John Quinn of Harrison is the county's only candidate for prosecuting
attorney. During the past two years
he has proven to be both an efficient
and economical officer for the county.
He refuses to plunge the wunty into
-xpensive trials on tha say so of every

able, just the right type of man to
serve the peopleis the county's principal executive officer. He is representative of the farmers of our county
and in every way a worthy citizen and
man. The Sentinel bespeaks for
him hearty support from all classes
and sections of the county and agreat
ly increased maj irity at the election
November 6th.
FOR CIRCUIT doTJRT COMMISSIONER
WJl. H  BROWNE.
"Wm. H. Browne is the right man
tor this office. A man of excellent
legal education, a graduate of the law

Taxes In Clare Will Be Materially Lower witfr a Large Sum .
to-City Improvements.
With the work ofthe October "session of the board of supervisors completed, the question naturally arises,
What aremy taxes for thisyeaT"?
The answer to the above question is
found in tfhe fact thab this year the
rate of taxation for all purposes is
approximately $3 87 per $100 of assessed valuation as against $1.46 last year..
Considering that Glare's assessed valuation is away b-jlow the valuation
as epualized by the bp'ard of supervisors, and bhe county's valuation materially lower than that at which it was
equalized by the state board of equalization, on an .actual cisn valuation
the rate of fcfix.itl-n is as low iu
Olare as cau reasonably be expected in
a developing town where Improvements'njuvC be n'tld for. Besides
there, are favorable things for., the
future. The big sura of primary
money wflt leave a ba'atice. ot several
thousands in the district scboJl treas*
ury and the amount due from the
sale of tax lands will leave a good balance in the cjunty treasury a year
from now. The present rate of taxation for Olare is made Up from the

A Saddened Home. '
Last week the Sentinel chronicled
the death of one of the fifteen-months
old twin boys of Mr, and Mrs. H, S, G.
House near Rosebush and this week
the record shows the other one laid
away in the silent tomb.
Roy G. F. survived his brother only
one wetk. his death occuring Saturday
after a seven weeks' iilae.*"S from cholera infantum, The funeral accured
from tbe home Sunday E der Mitchell
officiating and interment was made at
Ros* bush Oemetery, one of the largest
funerals seen in the vicinity foi owing
the lltt'e one to his last resting place.
The little twins were especia'ly
pr* cocious and each so like the other
one had to be designed by a ribbon at
first in giving medicine when their
illness began. As they wasted away,
one faster than the other, differences
became evident, Four sisters aud one
brother survive.

Getting a Crowd at Auctions.
"Why that ad. in the Sentinel
would have done me more good tban
all the auctioif bills I've put out."
Thetfe Were the words of one of our
rural carriers who know^ what the
Sentinel's circulation in the surrounding Country is and how the people are displeased if their paper is
mfs'sed Fridays. He had an auction
this week and by • some mistake did
not get an ad. in the Sentinel last
week.   Hence his remark, a

About 2:30 o'clock, when Lewis gave
over the last $10, he pulled a two-
ounce bottle of laudanum from his
pocket and drank it. Dr, Gardiner
was called and gave him an emetic and
alsqpumped him oht. He iB in a fair
