MT. Calvin Young ST.

He was member of the last House and made most favorable impression in that body. every one being his friend. and Dallas County never had more faithful, con scientious representative. He was always to be found in his seat and he loked most carefully after the local legis- iation from this county and voted right on the general legislation that came be- fore the legislature. being actuated at all times by what he conceived to be the best interests of the people as whole. It Is not known whether he will be can didate for the legislature or for rpember of the Board of Revenue from South Side, for which he Is well qualified It has been suggested that he might be a candidate Tor that position, under certain circumstances. If he runs he will make a fine race for the place, for every man in Dallas County has confidence in MT. Young's honesty, faithfulness and busi- ness capacity. He has managed his own affairs we'll and would make fine mem- Der of the body that Is to manage the finances of Dallas County.
