John Bright

The name of John Bright, as a candidate for reelection to the office of tax assessor of Nevada County appears in our announce ment column today.
 Mir. Bright has served our peo- pie faithfully during his term of office, and no county in the state has a more efficient official. He has been attentive to his duties, and while representing the county, he has been just as faithful in doing justice to the people.
 During the visit of the tax commission here this fall, the high compliment was paid Mir. Bright by the chairman, that tax values in Nevada county were as nearlyequalized on all concerns alike of any county in the state, and no changes were made in any of the valuations.
 By reason of his experience MT. Bright is now more fully qualified to fill the office than ever before. He is naturally of genial nature, and has a large number of friends throughout the county who will make a big showing for him on the day of election.
 Don't fail to consider Mir. Bright's claims when you go to the polls.
