One Of the strongest reasons why
the people Of tho second district
should elect @. W. Peterson as com.
missioner IL that he has good business
judgment and has lived in the county
o long time and knows itS people.
He Knows its needs and knows how
far the wealth Of the'county can CON
tribute toward supplying these needs.
he thoroughly understands the asses
sing and taxing plan Of the county.
Too often does 1t occur that man
who 10 made missioner has TO
spend nearly an entire term getting
acquainted with the duties Of his
office to the neglect OF bis constituents
and the county. This would be far
from true in Mr.. Peterson's case. He
has had many years experience with
county and township business. As a
public officer bis neighbors and his
have the utmost confidence
In him and know that he would not !.
have to waste time at the start learn
ing the duties OF com missioner. Mr..
Peterson is q level-headed, successful
farmer and he is just the kind Of
