The majority of the citizens of Lin

with the nominees, or most of them,

ested in brief reference to their quail
ifications.
Sheriff Ross is serving his third term
and is generally considered one OF the
very best sheriffs IN the state. His Of
fetal duties both in and out OF the Of

leaves no cause for criticism, and he
has many warm friends and supporters

predict his reelection by an increased

nous satisfaction during the past two
