Fullerton 18th District.-The approach
| ing election for State and county officials
brings wildly to mind who to vote for and
! while we are thinking let us look around to
! see for whom to cast our ballots. The State
nominees are fully discussed, with their plat
| forms and issues, in the daily and weekly
| papers. In the matter of the county nominees
| it is for us to look closely and examine as to
| their past. present and probable future record
Among the number on the several tickets there
are two from this district-AlexanderM cCor-
mick, for County Commissioner, and John
S. Biddison, for State Senator. Your CORES.
pendent, who meets all classes of people desires
to say that the feeling of the people in this dis
trict is almost unanimously for Alexander
Mccormick for Commissioner, for the most of
us know him to be man of the people and
for the people. He started in life poor boy
and worked his way up by persistence, econo-
my and tenacty of purpose. He managed
well until today, while not opulent or rich, he
is one of our most solid and trusted citizens.
He neUer took the benefit of the iSOlOent ldW nor
is he backed By a lot Of gratterS who tige off Of
slot machines and Sunday liquor selling. What
he has he obtained by honest toll. He is not
temperance man, but temperate one in all
things, even in politics. If a past record is a
fair guide, then he will make as good, or one
one of the best, Commissioners we have ever
had. He did not lose or give up 81, 500 office
for 81 200 one, and the positions he holds
are mostly for the benefit of the people at
large and there is very little pay in any of
them. In some positions it is money out of
pocket with him. Not single word can be
said against his character or qualifications for
the important position he has been nominated
for, and if elected-which we have every
reason to believe he will be-we feel confident
he will work for and have the best interests of
the county at heart and not the interests of
party only The good people OF this district
ought TO go to the polls on the Sd of next
month and vote for this excellent man and
give him such rousing majority as will re-
dound to his honor as we'll as that of ourselves,
for we have not had in this precinct in the
past % years an elective office in either party.
Even in appointments this precinct, with
milk and the other fellows the cream.
Building in this neighborhood is still going

The farmers and truckers are nearly all up

Arcadia, 9Th District.-The farmers of
this section are very busy husking corn which
