MIR. McEIhennY a Candidate.

Among the political announcements in this
issue of the HERALD will be found the card
of James McElhenny, who is candidate for
PrOthOnotary subject to the rules of the Re-
publican party. Mae" as he is familiarity
known, needs no introduction to the voters
of Shenandoah, his former home. While n
resident of this town he took an active in
terest in politics, and for three years was a,
member of the Borough Council from the
Second ward. For several years he was a
member of the party executive committee
1t is unnecessary to say that his former
townsmen will give him loyal suppost. Mr.
McElhenny has an extensive acquaintance
throughout the county, and should he re-
ceive the Republican nomination his Demo-
cratic competitor will realize that he has
been in a fight when the contest is ended
His popularity is not confined to the ranks of
his own party but hundreds of Democrats
would welcome the opportunity of showing
their appreciation of his sterling qualities.
