THE TIMES does not wish to let the
last opportunity go by without still an
other word for John Y Martin, the re-
publican candidate for county clerk.
All of the records kept by this Office are
important and some of them are very
important The county clerk should be
man of good Judgment, should be ac-
curate, careful and obliging. Everyone
who knows anything al, all of the work
of John Y. Martin knows that he
answers that description exactly. There
has never been better clerk and he
deserves reelection at the hands of the
republican and other voters of the
county. THE TINES hopes that no re-
publican voter will stay away from the
polls and deprive him along with the
other candidates on the ticket. of the
votes to which he is justly entitled. See
that John Y. Martins majority is big
and complimentary one.
