AN ADDRESS.

To the voters of Benton County:
l hereby announce myself can
didate for reelection to the Office
of County Judge.
/ take pleasure in returning my
sincere thanks to you for the lib
eral support you have given me in
the past, and if you believe l de-
serve endorsement | will heartily
thank you for your votes in the
election in next August.
In August, 1894, I was elected as
your County Judge, after a very
heated canvass. In that canvass it
was charged that the county was in
debt between $1,000 and $4,000.
1t was we'll known that school war
rants were worth in market but IS
cents on the dollar, and our public
school sessions averaged but three
months to the year
When l took charge Of the Office
Of County Judge, | found great
deal Of unsettled business. Ifound
the county nearly $4,000 in debt,
and not dollar in the county
treasury for either school or road
purposes.
The retiring trustee had left the
business Of his Office in such a tan
gled condition that the county was
forced into a long and tedious and
expensive lawsuit.
We made a canvass Of the county
in 1898, and in that lawsuit and
canvass we won for the county the
neat sum of S1,925. But almost
this entire amount has been ex.
pended in the purchase Of a county
farm and the buildings on the same
The finances Of the county now
is in excellent condition. Atpres-
ent we have more than $4,000 in
cash on hand Of county funds, and
