He isa clever, capable gent- leman and has a large following in the county. He would be a strong man on the ticket. Charles Wickliffe Ray Whose naine appears in our editorial columns as a candidate for the nomi- nation for Recorder, is well known to the voters of the county as a hard- working consistent Democrat and one who has not only worked for his party but has made speeches for the cause. He came to Bates county when a young boy and has made his home here since that time, attaining an education in our public schools. The greater part of his life has been spent in edutational work and he has conducted successful:schools in var- ious parts of the county. Mr. Ray was a candidate for the nomination for Recorder in 1910, making a strong race. He is well qualified to fill the office to which he aspires. ‘‘Win, lose or draw,” he says, ‘Wick Ray is still a Democrat.’’ % DeWitt C.

Horn | Who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Probate Judge, is probably as well qnalified to fill this highly important office as any man in Bates county.

Mr. Horn has been a resident of Bates county for the past 25 ‘years, and during that time he has been one of the most loyal of Democracy’s sup- porters. With the exception of one |term‘as Prosecuting Attorney he has never held cougty office. His name ; would add strength to the ticket. Hayden E. Ray | Who is making the campaign for the Democratic nomination of Recorder | of Deeds, is a well known Democratic worker, who, since reaching his ma- |jority, has been fighting the battles uf ‘his party in this county. He was born in Marion county, Missouri, in 1870, and came with his parents to Bates County at the age of nine years, settling in Shawnee township where he grew to young manhood and en- gaged in farming and school teaching until 1895, when he came to Butler and established himself in this city as a tinner.
