Platform Adopted at the Democratic
 Convention of the 35th Senatorial
 District.
 The Democratic party of the thirty. fifth senatorial district, in convention assembled. indorses the progressive platform adopted at the recent Demo. cratic state convention and the able candidates there selected, whose nonis nations were nnbossed and unthought. In the Honorable Simeon E. Baldwin and his associates arc presented candi- dates whose records for character and achievement insure their support by all who will carefully contrast them with those of rival candidates.s@ f
 The yotars of the first congressional district are, utterly disgusted with Cannon and tOannonism. '' They are equally impatient with congress- man who win misrepreseut them by supporting the men and the evils with which his name is associated. We urge the voters of our district to make their position effective by supporting for Congress the Honorable Augustine Lonergan, long and favorably known as . resident of our senatorial district, and now a leading member of the Hartford bar.
 In the Honorable George Forster, our candidate for sheriff of Holland county. we present one of the most attractive figures in the public life oi our state. Self.made, he has ad- vanced in the face of opposition and misrepresentation until his marked ability, high character and devotion to public duty have become known to and are conceded by all of our Citizsnl regardless of party affiliations.
 We consider it a high honor to have the privilege of presenting to the electors of the district as our candidate for Senator, the Honorable Edwin. o. Pinney of Staffords whose sterling character, large business ability and previous senatorial experience Fendel him; an ideal candidate for the ofi9t and one whose qualifications insure the able representation of the interest," of his constituents.
The Press., 1910-10-19

The report of the county commis- sioners is ready for the printer. It will show the county free from debt and balance of $l.1sS 21 in the treasury We wish to thank the sheriff for his hearty cooperation and the eficient manner. in which he has managed the jail. The taxpayers of the county are to bo congratulated in having In that position practical farmer and man of superior execu- tive ability, and we oonsider his retention in office would be for the best interest of tEe county.
