the muscles soft n of no use, and in

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.
Grant Scheafnoeker a Good Sheriff
Why Not Good Treasurer?

why NOT Good treasurer?
Editor STAR:
My object in writing this letter is
to direct attention to the record of
Grant Scheafnocker, now sheriff,
candidate for treasurer at the Re-
publican primary, and who is, l believe,
most worthy candidate.
That he has filled the Office of
sheriff with credit to himself and to
the people Of the county is universally
conceded, and the records show that
his term has been exceptionally profit
able to the county, the amounts paid
him being over $1,000 less than those
paid his predecessor in the same length
OF time, while he has collected and re-
turned much more in fines and costs.
The thing that the people ought
to be the most interested in is care
full and competent handling OF the
county business and this Mr.. Scheaf-
nocker has given to marked degree.
Ilo HAS pTUNtu ulinSeiI W U6 cur
teous aud obliging and there is cer-
tainly nothing wrong in his now asking
the nomination for treasurer, inasmuch
as the law prohibits his succeeding
himself In the sheriff's office, and the
policy of giving worthy county officer
two teams In county Office is univers-
ally approved.
Mr.. Scheafnocker was day laborer
when elected; he has no other business
to look after, and If elected to the
treasurership he will give to that Office
the same careful and obliging service
which has made him such a popular
sheriff.
Think it over, Mr.. Voter, carefully.
A vote for Scheafnocker is vote for
good service, bestowed upon proven
servant OF the common people.
