enced and able accountant. well posted in
county affairs. and is peculiarly suited 10
the duties Of i&e office. OF course. l have
no wish. even il | had the power, to die
tate the nomination. but | keow the re-
quirements of the office thoroughly and
l know Whittemore SO intimately that |
can not refrain from saying at least this
much In his behalf As for his candidacy.
