Candidate for Register Of Deeds

As has been announced, H. 1aw-
Icy, editor of this paper, is candi-
date for the Office Of Register of
Deeds, subject to the endorsement of
the republican voters of this county,
this fall.
OF course 1T would be very unbe-
coming to repeatedly plead our own
cause as we would others, but feel
there can be NO grievous wrong or
improperly in stating our case mas
much as our candidacy 10 not the re-
suit of the work of our friends urg-
ing us to become a candidate, as is
often stated. We want the Office.
the same as any other person de-
sires one, for the compensation de-
rived that we maintain ourselves
and family and if any one needs it
we do
Mr.. Trip has had the Office two
successive terms and has conducted
the affairs connected Herewith in a
creditable manner. He has proved
himself an Efficient officer and given
perfect satisfaction to all with whom
he has transacted any business. We
know of no criticisms that could be
made of Mr.. Trip. 1t is the opin-
ion of many that two terms in a
good paying Office is sufficient for
one man and he should be satisfied
to retire from service in that capac-
ity at the end Of second term.
Offices are not created for the pur-
pose of being handed around, but
the duties OF most county Offices are
such that no person can render bet
tor service by reason of occupying
the Office for long time, therefore
in most cases change is not detri-
mental to the interest Of the people.
Further, we believe any reputable
citizen has right to aspire to any
position, but there are people who
deserve more consideration than
others and particularly SO at the
hand of the party with whom they
affiliate. In our case, we are free
holder. We claim ample ability to
conduct the affairs of the Register
of Deeds Office in a manner becom-
ing the Office and so that the inter-
ests of no one will be injured by our
acts. We have always been republic
can. We have always supported
every nominee on the republican
ticket cheerfully and faithfully,
personally and with the means in
our possession. We have given
bonds for the performance of Ger
tain duties through corporations
and have never been refused by
them or Individuals.
We go before the people with a
clean record seeking their support
and for reasons contained in the
above, feel that we are entitled to
the support of the republicans in
GLIDING every one considered lead
ing party man. With this idea in
mind we ask for such support at the
hands of the advocates Of the repub-
lican party at the primaries and in
the election. There are other cand-
idates talked of but believe we have
a prior right, to ask for favorable
consideration, TO those yet mention
ed.
We have received from every part
OF the county letters containing as
surance of unequivocal support.
One says ''Surely Mobiles Co. repub-
leans would do themselves proud by
thus filling the office for the time
has come when that Office needs a
new prop"
Another says 1.-THE leaders should
give you their undivided support to
secure the Office, it they do not,
there is little for others to base
their hopes on should they ever de-
sire assistance from party leaders to
aid securing recognition or obtain a
a position through influence OF
party affiliations, after having lab
ored to promote party success.
The above paragraphs are not re
peated to whip any one into line but
to show the sentiment OF the auth
o1s.
Some may say Worthington wants
to supply all of the county officers.
1t is not Worthiugton supplying
candidates, it is: the Individual can
didate seeking the Office, or the
