Mastin has been a faithful and cour-
ageous guardian of the peace and
dignity of our city, having served as
police officer at least twenty years
prior to his election as head of the
Police Department. In all his official
acts he has ever been guided by a
sense of justice and fairness and is i'm
bued with a laudable desire to bring
about high standard of morals in our
community. Hand in hand, Chief Mas
tin moves along with the minions OF
law, where Justice and Equity is dealt
without fear or hope of reward. He
is an ideal head of an ideal Police
Department, and has all the qualities
necessary to a successful official.
While the head of our Police De-
partment has no easy task, yet Chief
Mastin has shown such ability In that
capacity these past few years that
few towns of Mt. Sterling's population
can boast of better record of morals
and comparative freedom from crime.
Aside from being good officer, Chief
Mastin is a good Democrat and all
around good fellow. He is popular
with all classes and has won during
his service the highest commentator
from the populace and the press.
