While to the public it may seem a
little early to begin campaigning, to
the candidate it is never too early
to get his political fences we'll in line
The coming campaign promises to
be a grand hustle and all hope it will
result in a survival Of the fittest"
that all candidates nominated may
be capable and worthy Of the votes

of securing a corps of officials who
will be a credit to the county.
