In Selecting Some One Else to Look
After the County Affairs

The Office in which the people Of
Shawnee county are more interested
than any other is county commissioner.
That board has control of all the ex-
penditures Of money on behalf Of the
county and the positions of the mem
bers are accordingly important While
the salary of a county commissioner IS
small in comparison with his duties,
the people should not be less careful
i'm his selection.
This year a. commissioner Is to be
elected from the north district which
includes all the territory north of the
Kansas river. County Commissioner
d A. Williams is seekeing a renomina-
ton and it is proper for the people to
look over his record of three years to
see whether ne has done his fun duty
and has taken care Of the interestes oE

election and it is not surprising that

liams as a public officer that is at
tackled and not his record as a private
citizen. Tt is certain that he is not
a safe man to trust with the affairs
of the county and this is the foundation
for the opposition to his denomination
There is opposition to Mr. Williams in
his own township and 1T is stated pos
ftfvely that he win be defeated there
His opponent is Mr.. Frank Fleming. a
successful farmer and a near neighbOr
of Mr. Williams at Silver Lake. Mr.
Fleming has made a success of his
business and for twenty-five years he
has lived in Shawnee county. He has
lived on the farm ne now occupies for
sixteen years and his record is a clear
one. He is a heavier taxpayer than
Mr. Williams and would consequently
take more interest in the affairs of the
county
