his duties carefully and thoroughly.
Since he was elected to this important
charge two and half years ago he has
attended to the duties of the office in such
q manner as to give universal satisfac-

continue to give the people the same
sound, clean, straightforward administra-
tion as long as he remains In office.
Maj. Welch has long been prominent In

teous attention he accords to all have
made a good impression on all those

he filled several important offices previous
to his election as tax and license collec-
