Our esteemed townsman DIR. J. G..
Zern will be candidate before the next
Democratic county convention for State
Senator. He is excellently qualified for
the Office i'm the possession of all natural
necessary attainments, and would make a
good and faithful public servant. He is
from the masses of the people who make
up the voting population and is politically
as well as personally strong in all parts of
the county. His excellent record while a
member of the State Assembly proves him
to be man free from the taint of corrlIp-
tion and of the calibre to represent the
people in so important a place of trust.
There are many things that commend DIR.
