TJIENHRoNIcLri

Fditor IIir OuRoNIcLr;
inote that Alvin u. Howe of the
fourthteenth district was nominal
ed by the Republicans in mass
meeting on the 9th day of June for
the important and responsible office
of Sheriff and has accepted same,
thereby agreeing to make an hon
est effort to win in the August
election. He will not make an APP
peal to fectional prejudice, but to
all w-ablding voters of Benton
County.
AlvinJ. Howe is just thirty years
old, and was born in Benton County
on the farm where he now resides.
He was reared by a widowed moth
er, his father having died in a we'll
in the act of saving the life.of an
other man, before Alvin was born.
The manfor whom Tom Howe gave
his life is now living in Benton
County, and will attestto the same.
Alvin has always been an obedi-
ent son, and a moral, studious and
industrious young man. He has
acquired practical education al
most entirely at home, having had
few opportunities to attend school.
He stands for law enforcement in
the fullmeaning of1the term. He
is a safesman to risk with trust of
any kind, because he is certain to
do his best.
He has never been elected to Of
fee, though S. &. Murray, Census
Supervisor for the Eighth Congress
sional District, saw cause to APP
point him Census Enumeration for
the fourteenth district, which work
he did with credit, and was compli-
mented by the Supervisor.
Alvin j. Howe is the kind of a
man you may depend'upon in any
emergency. You will always find
him to be loyal in friendship, true
to his promises, honest i'll business
dealings, and charitable to the
weaknesses of, others. Irconsider
him a trustworthy and safe young
man, and would be glad to. see him
elected Sheriff of Benton County.
