Fred D. Lord Of Ellsworth, who
announces himself a non-partisan
candidate for the Office of county
Judge, has been before the people
in some capacity requiring both
clerical and executive ability for
many years. AS Register of Deeds
his administration was in every way
above criticism. AS clerk and reg
lister of probate for seven years in
the Office of the county judge, he
became familiar with the office bust
ness. For a number of years he
has been principally engaged in the
abstract business-the copying of
titles In transfers of real estate.
In these capacities the distinguish
ing features in demand are faithful
ness in accuracy, unquestioned legi-
bility, and faultless neatness. In
these essential characteristics Mr..
Lord has the needed qualifications.
