The genial Francis Lattomus who is
the Republican candidate for County
Commissioner in the fifth district for his
election, which his many friends say he
will surely secure when the day of the
contest appears is making strong fight |
Mr. Lattomus, if elected, promises |
several much needed reforms of |
that Office, and his candidacy is attract
ing much attention from the voters
throuahout the district. The sentiment |
is indeed very strong that the ticket |
named by the Republicans, and which !
carries able men for all the various offices
is one of the best that has ever been put |
before the voters for their support. Man
for man, the ticket is representative of
the several districts, and it is composed
of men who could be expected to perform
the duties of the respective offices for
which they have been nominated with
fidelity and with a conscientious regard
for the interests of the people. All of
these men, are especially deserving just
at this time, and the writer will do all in
his power, to elect them.
