and efficient officer Mr.. McElroy was
born in Fayette county, Ohio, April 6,

and later engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. He came to Wapello county and
located in Center township in 1884.
He purchased large farm and at the
present time it is one of the most high
ly developed farms in the county. He
has always taken an active interest in
keeping the public roads in good repair
as well as in all enterprises which tend
to promote the general interest of the
community.
Mr.. McElroy is a staunch republican
and served the county well in the Of
flee of supervisor to which he was
elected in 1901 and for which he has
received the nomination for the. second
term
The selection of supervisor is a
task in which the farmers of the coun-
ty are especially interested in and
they have shown their respect for the
man who represents their interests at
the polls previously. During Mr.. Nc
Elroy's term OF service he has always
held a restraining hand and as re-
suit the county Indebtedness has al
most been wiped out. Mr.. McElroy
may well be proud of the excellent rec
ord he has made in Office.
