emlnently capable, is TO better COIL
duct his candidacy for the nomina-
ton Of Register and Recorder on
the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Rutter is one of the repre-
sentative young men of Blooms
burg He has attained a promi-
nence in public affairs that has won
for him a wide acquaintanceship,
and his work in the newspaper field
of the county has redowned very
materially to his credit. He is at
present the president of the Board
of Education there, and has for
years maintained lively interest
in the towns educational affairs.
He is son of DR.. J. c Rutter,
one of the oldest physicians and
most respected citizens of this sec
ton of Pennsylvania. A brother,
Mr.. II. II. Rutter, is editor and
publisher of the Democrat, at Mum
cy, Lycoming county.
rTOiH fHlltlelpiild liiheS, reu' %, 1919.
Judging from the situation J. G.
Rutter, who for the past thirteen
years has been manager and editor
of the Democratic Sentinel and the
Bloomsbury Daily, and who has re-
signed those positions, has the lead
for the nomination for Register and
Recorder. AS the Democratic nom-
ination is equivalent to an election
in this county he feels reasonably
sure of being the next occupant of
that office.

From b. S. N. S. Quarterly.
'SI, Rutter, John c. Jr., for more
than twelve years has been connect
ed with the Sentinel and has been
the manager of the Daily since its
establishment. He has resigned
these positions and entered actively
into the contest for the nomination,
at the next Democratic County Con-
ventlon, for the position of Register
and Recorder of Columbia County.
John is we'll known throughout the
county and is a hustler. He will
keep the other candidates for the
place busy watching him. He i:
we'll fitted for the place and if elect
ed will make an efficient and cour
teous officer.
Extract from letter from Harry ]. Walter, o
Alledo ILL.,, to Bloomsbury Daily and Sentinel
I received a complimentary lettel
, from J. c. Rutter, Jr., accompanied
, with his picture. He is fine look
ing man and one with counte
nance open and bright, a maj
whom one would be proud to call {
friend; a man that the Democracy
, of old Columbia county would b.
proud to have as their candidate
for Register ahd Recorder; one whC
, would not digrace the position th'
, people would honor him to. Wer
we a voter Of Columbia county w,
surely would be willing to risk OH
vote for J. c. Rutter, Jr., and thos
who have the right to vote will
! make no mistake in giving you
vote to him.
