Republican ticket outlines candidates for county offices in Wood County and C J Canwas offers himself as independent candidate for sheriff promising faithful, honest, and diligent service if elected.
The piece pressures readers to vote for the candidate who will spend time on duties, attacking others as unworthy. It questions support for the Republican slate, asking voters to show clear preference or withdraw support, and ends with a call for explicit understanding from readers.
The Centres in Enterprise on October 19 focuses on W. T. King as a candidate for Register of Deeds. The piece accuses King of past misconduct and criticizes his backers while praising opponent P. N. Christensen. It references previous delays, political alignments, and a November election with Gardner and Williams favored over Hiles and Powers, plus a health ad for German Hop Butters.
A hostile broadside denounces Hiles as a reformed rogue and gambler and accuses Powers of corruption. The author claims Hiles' long record includes theft from workers and an 1862 debt of about 2900 dollars. It alleges Hiles recruited 70 to 190 men to swing votes for himself and warns voters against both figures in the upcoming Legislature race.
