Each of the candidates for Commissioner
is taxpayer and every one of them are
men who have permanent interest in our
county. They are, moreover, men who have
striyen hard for the PROPERTY they have ac-
quired and know how difficult 1t Is to
punctually meet the tax collectors bills.
They are safe men to put in charge of our
