Our Candidates.

Adams served in the last session O
the legislature with credit to him
self and to his constituents of thi.
district. He was always found fav
oring measures which were to the
interest of the people of his district
Mr.. Adams has been a resident ot
this county for nearly eighteen years
and knows the interests of the dis
trict thoroughly. He has held pos
ltions of trust and has always given
the people his very best services
No one ever questioned the honesty
or integrity of S. D. Adams. Mr.
Adams educational qualifications
have never been questioned, either,
and he is able to as much for the
people as any man who could be
sent to that body. He has had the
advantage of one term, which it al.
ways requires, to acquaint any man
with the workings of that assembly.
As we said in a previous issue, no
better man ever represented con-
stituency in any Legislature, than S.
d. Adams. He Is very conserva-
tive, but thoroughly understands all
matters that confront the legislature
and casts his vote on the side which
will benefit the people. In Mr..
Adams, the I24th district would
have representative to whom any
district could point with pride. The
voters of this district will never re-
gret the reelection of Mr.. Adams,
as he will give the same universal
satisfaction that he has given in the
past.
George S. Selvidge, candidate for
county attorney, has served one
term. He has conducted the affairs
of this Office in satisfactory man
ner. 1t is true and probably more
so in this Office than any other, that
many people will criticise the coun-
ty attorney for matters in which it
is impossible for him to act. We
believe that Judge Selvidge has been
honest and conscientious in all the
affairs of this office. He is known
to everyone and needs no introduc-
ton to our people.
Frank Wehrle. county clerk, has
served one term, and asks the yot-
ers to elect him for two years more.
He is thoroughly competent and un-
derstands the affairs of that Office.
A glance over his books and records
will convince anyone that he can
properly fill the position. AS far
as law is concerned, he knows about
all that pertains to that office. He
has had the experience of one term
and ought to be acquainted with the
various duties of this office. Mr..
Wehrle will certainly appreciate
your support. His duties in the of
fee prevent him from going over
the county to see the voters and his
canvass is left to his friends in the
various parts of the county. If re-
elected, Mr.. Wehrle will serve the
people as he has in the past.
John Elliott, candidate for dis
trIct clerk, is the present incumbent.
John has served one term and half
being elected for one year the first
time to fill a vacacancy, caused by
the resignation of Miss Efie Coon,
and the second time, two years ago.
Mr.. Elliott has always given the
best of satisfaction and is liked by
everyone. He has always been elect
ed by large majority, which lndi-
Gates that he has friends in all par
ties. John makes an excellent Off
cial and will poll large vote.
Sam Bunch, candidate for sheriff,
is well known, being among our old
est citizens. He is one of the best
men in the county. He has never
held county Office. For several
years he was engaged in the mer-
camille business in this city. There
is not thing to be said against Mr..
Bunch, he always attends strictly to
his own affairs and has many friends
in the city and county. He has
been out interviewing the voters and
finds his chances of election very
flattering.
John Russell, candidate for Reg
lister of Deeds, is one of the best
young men in Meade county. John
has many friends. in all parts of the
county and we doubt whether he
has personal enemy anywhere.
His qualifications are excellent and
he would conduct the Office to the
satisfaction of everyone. Mr.. Rus
sell taught school for several terms
but recently has been employed at
