Candidate for Auditor Gener,
alat Republican State
Convention.
AS OTHERS SEE 1T.

In Congressional candidates the
qualifications we are most likely to de
mand are sterling honesty, ability and
feedom of political obligations that
must be paid to the few at the expense
of the manv.
'In view of the qualifications above
expressed it is the candid opinion OF
the writer that Francis II Dodds of Mt.
Pleasant possesses them in so marked
a degree as To make him the logical
candidate for the Republican party
for representative in this district He
has the respect and confidence OF
the people of his home county. and
this respect and confidence extends as
well throughout the district wherever
he meets people or is known One of
the most serious charg es against him
is that he is too honest to make sue
cessful politician; this element of
honesty however. has drawn to him
the enthusiastic support of the voters
wherever he is personally known Aside
| from this element of honesty Mr.
Dodds possesses large experience IS
men and measures derived from a
thorough education and from practical
experience as one of the leading st
torneys of the southern end of the dis
trict He is of the proper age and
Temperament and he is thoroughly In
harmony with the policies of the
present administration So far as pos
sible to judge from the character
of the man and his history he Is
entirely independent of any influence
that would in anv way lead him to for
get that he would be in the Office OF
representative the servant of the
people There are no charges tat hef
