w. N. flARTiN FOR COUNTY
 JUDGE.

In this issue of The Star will be found the announcement of W. IN. Martin as candidate before the Democratic primary for county and probate judge of Polk county.
 Nick" has served the people for two terms as clerk of this court, a position that not only fitted him by experience to understand the details of the work that falls to the position of judge, but proved to the people that he was painstaking and consci- entious in the performance of his duties. As clerk he brought the records up to standard never be- fore attained in this county. MT. Martin has, since giving up his office, taken up the practice of law, a knowledge of which is very essen- tial to enable him to properly admin ister the duties as judge.
 Mir. Martin enters the field free from any obligations to any clique or organization, placing his candi- dacy before the Democratic voters solely on his merits and on their belief in his integrity and ability to render Polk county good service.
