MR.. RICHARD f. PALMER FOR
SHERIFF.

MR.. RICHARD f. PALMER FOR
SHERIFF.
One of the most important officers
to be chosen by the voters Of Summit
county at the coming election Is the
sheriff. In nominating a candidate
for that office the Democrats were
careful to select man upon whose
private life there is no blot or stain.
Perhaps no man in Summit county
is better known than Mr.. Richard f.
Palmer. By virtue of his long term
or service in the employ of the Ault
man, Miller & Company of this city,
his acquaintance is of wide extent
and every one Of his former patrons
will testify that he is man of hon.
esty and integrity.
Mr. Palmer was born in Akron,
March 13, 1S40. His early educa-
tion was acquired in the public schools
of the city. While a member Of the
Senior class in the old Jennings
building, Mr.. Palmer enlisted in Go
G. 10th, o. V. I. The captain Of the
company was L. B. Buckley, who
afterwards became Colonel of the re-
giment. At the expiration of his term
of enlistment, Mr.. Palmer enlisted in
the 1SSth o. V. l., and served his
country until the close of the wal
and was mustered out as First Ser
geant, He, is a member of Buckley
Post, G. A. r.
Mr.. Palmer returned to Akron. He
purchased canal boat and for two
years followed the tow path. He
afterwards entered the Office Of the
Akron Iron company, where he re,
mained for three years. In 1873 he
began his long career Of business
activity with Aultman, Miller & Com
pany. He remained with the company
until 1898.
AS the Akron Iron Company and
Aultman, Miller & Company, were
under practically the same manage
ment, his term of service in one con.
cern was 2S years.
The greater part Of this time he
represented the company in North
western Ohio and for eight years re,
sided in Tiffin. He returned to Ak
ron in 1892.
In 1S71-72, Mr.. Palmer was in the
City Council from the Fifth ward!
He has never been a candidate for a
salaried office.
At present Mr.. Palmer is living in
retirement at 574 E. Buchtel ave.
Nh Palmer has given many years
to the service Of his party as a work
ing Democrat, has never asked his
party for cent in exchange for his
services, and 1t is the duty of every
member of his party to vote for him
next Tuesday. That he will receive
this support, and the support of his
hundreds of Influential and warm per.
sonal friends in the Republican party
is evident on every hand.
