her for the time being.

The Office of member of the board
OF supervisors is perhaps the most
important one to the taxpayers of
the county, Of any of the offices.
The board of supervisors are the bus
mess agents OF the taxpayers, looking
after their financial interests and
spending the money which is paid
in as taxes. The board should be
composed of men who will lay aside
all personal interests and administer
the business affairs Of the county in
the same careful manner that they
would look after their own business
affairs. The board is responsible
for the expenses of the county. They
can spend thousands of dollars of
the peoples money and not get any
adequate returns for the money, or
they can see that every dollar of the
county's money is expended only for
necessary expenses and that they get
! full value in labor and material for
all the money which is spent, not
only for road and bridge work, but
for all of the county's business af-
fairs. The voters should see that the
right kind of men are elected on the
board. One of such men is Frank
A. Gardner, one of Decatur county's
] best known and most successful
farmers, one who has spent all his
life on a farm. Mr. Gardner came
to Decatur county in 1876, with his
i father, the late Judge F. S. Gardner,
perhaps better known as Chicago
Gardner. They purchased a farm Of
400 acres of land five miles north
west Of Leon, and it is still owned
by Frank A. Gardner. He has made
a success of farming and stock rails
ing, and knows how to look after
business affairs. Owing to the health
Ioi his wife, Mr.. Gardner moved to
Leon two years ago. although he still
gives attention to his farm He now
has the time which he could devote
to his duties as a member of the
board of supervisors, and you all
know that if a member of the board
looks after the business of the Of
flee as it should be looked after that
he must devote considerable of his
attention to it, and be ready to act
at any time. Mr.. Gardner is a care
full, prudent and safe man with which
to entrust the business affairs of the
county He is just the kind of man
the people need to represent them.
See that you cast your vote for him
and you will never regret having
assisted in electing him to Office.

Democratic Candidate for Coroner.
The democratic candidate for
coroner of Decatur county is no
stranger TO the voters of Decatur
county, who have elected him to
this office before, and during his
term of office was called upon to con-
duct number of inquests i'll which
an enormous bill Of costs could have
been piled up for the taxpayers to
pay, but DR.. Bowman invariably kept
the expenses down to the very lowest
possible figure. The salary of coron-
err is not not enough to be an in
centive for any man to want the Of
flee, depending entirely upon the
fees, and these are not enough in
q whole year to pay for suit of
clothes, but it is really a very i'm
or mysterious death, it is in the
power of the coroner to make the
first investigation, and in many cases
important evidence is secured at the
inquest which is very valuable in
. ferreting out and Furnishing the Grim
iral. In other cases where on the
face there may be suspicious cir
+, cumstances, upon the proper investi-
/ cation these may all be explained
away and the expense of big trial
in the district court avoided where
there could be no conviction secured.
! Ii looks as if the Office of coroner
was small one, but it is one of the
most important in the gift of the
1 people. | DR.. Bowman has proved
his ability to conduct the Office as
il should be, and he should again
be elected as coroner of Decatur
county. His name is near the bot
! tom of the county ticket, so don't
overlook it, but be sure and place
cross in the square in front of his
j name When you cast your ballot on
election day.

Attorney.
We are at a complete loss to say
anything in regard to the WORTH
ness and ability of George w. Baker,
the present most energetic and eff
ficient county attorney, who was
again chosen as the democratic par
tvs candidate for the office of pub
lie prosecutor, for nearly every man,
woman and child in Decatur county
knows George Baker and his record.
He has been elected before to this
important office, for the voters and
taxpayers recognize in him a prose-
cutor who would always be relied
upon to do his full duty in all cases.
He will not prosecute a criminal
because he likes to send a man to
the penitentiary, but becauEe the
laws of the state should and must
be enforced for the protection of
the life and property of its citizens.
Mr.. Baker has successfully prose-
cuted some of the greatest criminal
cases in the history of the state, and
no guilty man ever escaped prosecu-
ton through fear or favor while
George Baker was county attorney
And while he is fearless prosecutor
he also looks after the interests of
the taxpayers and sees that no un-
necessary court costs are piled up
for them to pay, as is too often the
case where public prosecutors are
simply trying to gain reputation
as a lawyer at the expense of the
taxpayers. lie has a record of which
beth himself and his party may we'll
be proud in this respect, for he has
been the most economical county at
torney who has ever held the office
in Decatur county. He stands on
his record, and the taxpayers will
see to it that he is continued in the
county attorneys office.

In the selection of candidates for
the office of members of the board of
supervisors, the democrats made no
beginning January 1, 1911, they
nominated Patrick Griffin, of Grand
River, man who has been resi-
dent of Decatur county for fifty
years. He lived down in Woodland
township on farm for twenty-five
years, and then went to Grand
River, where he has lived for twen-
ty-tive years. He is man of wide
business experience, both as farm
er, businessman and financier. He
has always taken very active part
in matters of public Importance and
is well posted in regard to public
affairs. Pat Griffin is a thorough
businessman. He would be value
able man on the board, and he would
attend to the business of the Office
as it should be attended to. The
west side of the county thinks they
should have representative on the
board this year. They are heavy
taxpayers, and Mr.. Griffin should be
elected on account of his location
as we'll as his qualifications for the
position. Pat Griffin would see that
there were no jobs or shady deals
put through in letting bridge con-
tracts and in buying the thousands
of dollars worth of bridge material
which are purchased by the county
each year. He has always attended
to his large personal business af-
fairs in a manner which has made
him one of the most successful men
in Decatur county, and he would give
the county affairs the same careful
attention. There is no more popu-
lar man in the west side of the coun-
ty There should be at least one
democratic member on the board OF
supervisors. Remember that while
you vote this year for two members
of the board of supervisors that Mr.
| Griffin is running for the term which
commences on the first of next Janu-
airy. When you look over the diff
ferent candidates for the office, be
certain that when you vote on cleo
ton day that you place a cross in
front of the name of Patrick Griffin

superintendent.
In presenting the name of Eli
Hutchinson as the democratic candi-
date for county superintendent of
schools, we present the name of a
most worthy man, one who has
proven his ability to perform the du-
ties Of this most important Office in
a competent and highly satisfactory
manner. Prof. Hutchinson was born
and raised right here in Decatur
county. He held the Office of coun-
ty superintendent for one term, and
Decatur county never had better
county superintendent or one who
did more hard and efficient work in
promoting the good of our public
school system. Prof Hutchinson was
defeated for a second term by only
40 votes, running several hundred
votes ahead of his party ticket, but
ON account of the very close party
lines which were drawn that year
he was defeated He had made a
splendid official and by all rights of
custom was entitled to a second
term. His opponent has held the of
flee now for four terms, and is ask
ing for two years more. If you are
among the many who think that a
county officer should be satisfied with
two terms for an Office where the
salary is the incentive, you should
certainly vote to retire the present
official and elect Prof. Hutchinson.
He is Decatur county product, his
entire life having been spent in De-
catur county, and he is self made
young man. He has record for
efficiency in school work which can
not be questioned, and it is for the
best interests of Decatur county, our
public school system, patrons and
pupils that he be elected to this Of
flee. Don't forget Eli Hutchinson

CANNOT GAIN LIBERTY
UNTIL POSITION Is FOUND

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 2.-One hundred and
seventy parolcd convicts from the
Joliet penitentiarv, who since last Feb
ruary had lived in dread OF being
forced 20 give up their positions and
return 10 their prison cells, became free
men yesterday. Since the ruling of the
supreme court that the parole law was
unconstitutional they had feared that
their paroles would be declared void,
but under the court 8 reversal of its
decision the state pardon board yester-
dav recommended their final discharge.
Within Two weeks the majority Of the
32t prisoners serving iudeterminate sen.
tcnccs who have been confined eleven
months or more, will be told that they
have won paroles, but instead of being
sent out To freedom they viii be kept
with fortvjhrcc other paroled convicts
in their cells. Tho reason is that no
cmploymcn, has been obtained for
them. Some who viii obtain paroles

greater number have no prospects of a
