In announcing his candidacy for re-
election. County Clerk Frank O. Phelps
points with just pride to his successful
administration of the affairs of the
office for the past six years, laying
stress upon the fact that there are no
politics in the county clerk S office, but
the utmost effort to faithfully dis
charge the duties evolved upon that
office in business like manner.
Mr. Phelps announced his candidacy
following the petition presented to
him 10y one hundred business men of
Milwaukee, County, to again seek the
Office. For twenty-three years prior to
his assuming the duties of county clerk
MIR Phelps was ''knight of the grip"
selling goods on the road for IA whole
sale millinery house, and has many
friends in the ranks of the travelling
fraternity.
These long years of service in II mer-
camille line gave him an insight Into
the art Of studying character and il
taught him that the best way to do
business with anyone is TO extend to
them every courtesy possible in the
furtherance of their affairs.
The secret of the success of Mr..
Phelps in the commercial world, rs
we'll AS in the office Of county clerk, is
that his ideas aud ideals Of business
are founded upon the principle Of
honesty in all matters and truthfulness
IN any matter that seems worth while
to talk about.
BY adopting these principles in his
business career he was able to sell
goods to the same people for twenty
two consecutive years and these same
principles followed out in tile conduct
