ship, Pleased With Hearty Support
Sometime ago announced my can
didacy for the Republican nomination
for Sheriff of Ionia county. ! am more
than pleased with the generous en-
couragement and hearty support have
received throughout the entire county.
] shall appreciate your support and
pledge myself if nominated and elected
TO continue the policies of the present
successful administration, and assure
you of faithful, economical and eff
ficient service.
William X. Taylor.
William II. Taylor of Easton Town
ship, should be the Republican candi-
date for sheriff of lonia county. The
people at this time appreciate the fact
that a public officer is public agency.
That personal fitness is the prime fac
tor in the selection. The county of
Ionia is in reality business institution
i'm which every citizen is stock holder.
An employer would not entrust his
private business i'm the hands of an in
experienced man i'm preference TO one
who is thoroughly grounded in the
particular business by long years of
experience and who has demonstrated
any unquestioned ability and trust
worthiness.
The office of sheriff of Ionia county
is an important Office. Its successful
administration requires not only good
good judgement and honesty but a
peculiar aptitude and much experience
Many men have good judgement and
most men are honest, but few men
possess that peculiar temperament neces-
sary and fewer still that broad ex-
perienc that makes for greater success.
William r. Taylor is a happy combina-
ton of these qualifications. He is no
experiment. His record is a demon
stration Of his honesty, fearlessness and
efficiency as police officer.
For twenty years Taylor has devoted
his entire time TO this line of work. He
has learned criminals and their ways.
He is familiar with all civil processes
and manner of their execution. If
elected he will not be dependent upon
the Judgement of subordinate. His
years OF active practice have brought
him in close contact and acquaintance
with other executive officers OF the
state which indeed is valuable asset.
William II. Taylor was deputy four
years under Sheriff Moon, four years
under Elmer Fales, and is deputy under
Elmer Cilley. These men knew his
worth and employed him for that rea-
son.
This service under three successive
sheriffs, who have utilized all of his
time, is in itself strong recommends
ton. The very best recommendation
in fact for surely they would not have
employed him il he were not i'm every
way qualified.
Taylor has been employed by the
oCNCiai ohCiIiiS anu Has IcNtT TeCtlNeu
more than modest salary. Mr.. Tay-
lor is unable to wage an expensive cam
paign but must rely upon his record
and the kindness of his friends.
The announcement of his candidacy
has been well received by the voters of
this county. From every quarter comes
heaps of encouragement and much
assurance of success.
The people know him to be good
citizen; that his life, public and private,
is clean, honorable and undefiled.
That he believes in the enforcement
of all laws against all offenders regard
less of "pulls" or 'station".
Then again, Taylor is affable and
obliging and counts among his friends
all who know him. In fact he is pop
ular, that is why so many call him
"Billu.
Let's help him into the sherih7s Of
flee where he belongs. Lets promote
him TO this office in recognition of his
long apprenticeship, taithfulness and
effective service. Lets apply the sound
business principal TO politics and pro-
mote the deserving servant and then
