ecuting attorney was chosen by the
nominating convention without OPP
position, after having served two years
in that Office, in which he has given
entre satisfaction and administer ed
the affairs of the county i'll and able

in litigation. During the past two
years Mr.. Zent has handled more bus
mess and convicted more criminals
and tried more civil cases for the
county than any of his predecessors.
In road matters he is considered
authority and has had splendid sue
cess in that line of business, his aim

able ability in the manner OF conduct
ing the case against the most brilliant
and able lawyers that money could
