LEWIS, o'NElL, MURPHY


Lewis, O'Neil and Murphy. These
are the Democratic candidates ftv
the board of county commissioners
who will displace Oberholzers lay
out, il the taxpayers of Logan county
desire their taxes lowered. Your
taxes are too high. You can ascer-
tain that evident fact by exan'ining
your tax receipts. Pawnee county is
as large as Logan, yet Pawnee's
Democratic board of commissioners
need only $4,000 to run the county
while the Logan county board needs
100000 and yells for more. Why is
SO much money needed in Logan.
There's leak, if not rake-off some
where Why not have change in
the county board and locate this
leak"
Who are the men named to succeed
Oberholzer's board? Lewis is a pio-
neer citizen. He is a staunch up
right business man, taxpayer who
believes in honesty In public as well
as in private life. O'Neil and Muir
ply are the same kind of men.
ONeil has lived in Logan county 20
years He is aggressive and square.
Murphy is also a pioneer. He came
TO Logan county at the opening. He
Is fully conversant with Logan coun-
ty needs He knows personally OF
the outrageous taxation heaped upon
Logan county people. Mr. Murphy's
opponent is Favors, the darkey. Muir
phy has a hard race, but providing
the taxpayers of his district do their
duty ne will win hands down.

lowered and the stain of negro official
ism must be removed.

AS result the hopes of the West
Pointers for successful football sea-

TO give the coaches lineup which
