nounces in this issue as a candidate
for superintendent of public instruc.
ton for st. Lucie county. Mr.. Har-

this week for reelection TO that Office.
Mr.. Fultz has served in this capacity
since st. Lucie county was formed. He
was appointed to the Office and nomi- !
mated and elected the following year
without opposition. His administra-
tion has been satisfactory throughout
the entire time and he has proven his
ability to discharge the duties of the
office 10 the proper manner Mr. Fultz
stands for reelection on his past re-
cord as public servant, and his wide
acquaintance and large circle of per-
sonal and political friends attest his
He is ODE of the pioneers
Of The lower Indian River and is well
known all over the county His
promise if reelected is to discharge
he duties of the Office promptly,
honestly and impartially.
This week we have announcements
rom four members Of the present
BOARD of county commissioners, who
announce for reelection to their re-
pective Offices. They are Paul Kroe-
rel of the first district, c. II. Edwards
# the second district, j, F. Bell of the
bird district and Peter Raulerson OF
he fifth. These gentlemen have serv-
ID on the board during the past term
md two of them since the county was
reated, and during their terms OF Of
Ice have had many questions of vital
Importance. They state that the only
eason for announcing for recollection is
hat they have started a work wherein
here is a division of sentiment and 1t
s their desire TO continue in Office uu- {
II the work is demonstrated a success
II a failure and they feel that 70 c
hange the board now would undo the
,e ginning and stamp the entire enter
rise as failure. The sentiment all 9
yer the county seems TO be the same,
,ot d among their friends and enemies 9
'heir friends want them TO demon
trate success and their enemies
rant hem to stay in charge till there
no chance Of success. AT any rate
hey are out for reelection and as the
ew law provides each district votes
olely for It's own commissioner It Is up
0 the voters Of the different commits
ioner,s districts instead of the county q
: a whole. The commissioners job Is
thankless one at best and four good
,an have announced for the ONCE.
,bey stand on their records and PROM
j 20 discharge the duties Of the office
an impartial manner II reelected.
