Democratic Nominee for Poor Director

Democratic Nominee for Poor Director.
Percy E. Faust, of Weathcrly, the
Democratic candidate for poor direc-
tor is making an active canvass for the
Office, but owing to a lack of time has
been unable to call upon all the voters of
this portion of the district. However,
to those who have not the pleasure of
his acquaintance, the TRIBUNE can as
sure them they have missed meeting Il
gentleman whose Democracy has never
been questioned, one who has worked
faithfully for every Democratic nominee
in the poor district, both personally and
through his paper, the He1aM. This is
the first time Mr.. Faust has sought
office, and would not now be candidate
If any other had desired the honor. He
accepted the place on the ticket at the
solicitation OF the convention, and a
man who responds so willingly to his
party's call should have every Demo
cratic vote in the district.
Ii is not alone for this that Mr.. Faust
should be elected, but because Of his
sterling qualities as man and his ability
to properly fulfill the duties of poor di-
rector. Let no Democratic forget to
vote for him tomorrow.
