He is a life-long always a Republican, and has served his township as Trustee and in other official capacities. He is a graduate of the Lawrence Business College, and is a good penman. Mr. Oaniels is a man of good character and habits, and should he be successful in his ambition would no doubt make a good official. Silas H.

Steffey, who announces his candidacy for county treasurer, needs no introduction to people who have lived in the county long. Mr. Steffey, as county treasurer for four years, formed a wide acquaintance over the county and stands well with (he reonie as a Df fine char acter and a conscientious public official.
