While there are many good men in
the third supervisor district capable
in all respects for the office of Super
visor, the need of concentrating the
entire strength upon some one person
for success, calls for the selection of
such a person as win, because of his
worth as business man; because of
his integrity of character; because of
his honesty of purpose; because of his
devotion to the public interests in the
pursuit of what is right, and in oppo-
sition to what is wrong; because of the
confidence the public has in him as
possessing these qualities. Such an
ideal candidate is to be found in the
person of Rufus Seavy, of Jamestown.
He is a man Of broad views of public
duty, and in its discharge would be
free from paatizan bias, which has no
lifting place in the duties and buSi-
ness OF a county office, where the duty
is to all alike without fear, favor or
prejudice. Ii nominated no mere
trickster in politics can prevail
against him.
