county that the commissioners had
nothing to do with my candidacy for
sheriff. A great many voters OF both
parties asked me TO be 4 candidate.

county officer or candidate for nv
candidacy. Each candidate and party
is telling / am up to defeat the other.
Well that is right, / am running 70
beat both Of them, if I can.
