The friends of Deputy-sheriff Howe of
Northfeld will present his name at the
county convention to-day as candidate for
nomination for sheriff. Mr.. Howe has held
the Office of deputy eighteen years, has
proved himself an efficient officer, and
worthy of nomination and election to the
office. Believing that the usual custom of
four years as sheriff is sufficient for the
same person, the friends of Mr. Howe will
present his claim for the office. With no
disrespect for the present sheriff, Mr.. f. H.
Atherton, who has held the Office three
terms, faithful officer and gentleman in
every respect, it is no more than just that
Mr.. Howe should receive the support OF the
county.
