COCHRAN SUGGESTED.
Correspondent Has a Way Out c
Commissioner Middle.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
Most all of US are interested who will
be our next county commissioner. We
would like to secure the election of j.
w. Cochran as our next county COM
missioner. He is a man of good prin-
ciples and business qualifications. He
is now and has been trustee of Menoken
township for the past three terms AMI
has filled the office with satisfaction.
Mr.. Cochran is a Dem ocrat and has
been one all his life.
Many Republicans have supported
him in the past on the merits of his
being an honest and Intelligent man.
If the people want an honest and trust
worthy man to fill the office they ought
to give him their support and elect him
as our next county commissioner.
