STATEMENT Of FACTS

On June 10th the primary election
will be held in Stark county and at that
time it is the duty and privilege of
each voter 10 register his choice of
candidates for public office. AS q can
didate for the Republican nomination
for states attorney of this county I am
personally interested to the extent that
l trust each voter will give the matter
consideration before casting his vote
for any candidate for that Office.
County officers are your representa-
tives, your agents and servants and
the fitness of candidates is a matter for
your careful consideration. 1t is poor
business for the county to elect a states
attorney and pay him a salary and then
have to hire some one else to do his
work. Offices are created from public
necessity and not for the personal Dene-
fit of any man or set of men. It is for
you to determine whether or not, under
existing conditions, it is TO the best
interests of the people of Stark county
to make a change in the Office of states
attorney. Before reaching a conclusion,
you should consider what has, or has
not been done, by Mr.. M. l.. Mcbride
during the six years he has held that
Office. If o think some one else
should be elected to the office you should
consider which of the other candidates
will receive the most general support
of the people, in order that your vote
may not be wasted.
LAS there is no Democratic candidate
for this Office the result of the primary
election on June 20 will be conclusive
as far as the Office of states attorney
is concerned. Under the conditions
you a hardly afford to give a compli-
mentary vote to any candidate but
should vote in the interest of the county.
If nominated and elected to the Office
of states attorney of Stark county. I
will give the business of the county the
same care and attention as that of a
client. l will give the county the bene-
fit of such ability as I have and will try
to serve you honestly. faithfully and
well. To this end l earnestly solicit
your support at the primary election.
The polls will be open in each voting
precinct on Wednesday, June 10Th from
8 O'Clock in the morning until S O'Clock
in the afternoon.
Yours very truly,

THREE THOUSAND
COUPLES CANNOT
PROVE MARRIAGE

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. lathe
next Kansas legislature is to be
asked to pass a law limiting the
number of persons who may per-
form marriage ceremonies. From
statistics gathered by the Kansas
Association of Probate Judges there
are at least 5000 couples living in
Kansas legally married, but who
could not prove it.
The law requires every person
who performs marriage ceremony
to make report to the probate
court, where the fact of the mar
riage is duly recorded. The records
gathered by the judges through the
association show that from 16 to
200 marriages have not been re-
ported during the last ten years in
every county the number not re-
ported depending on the size of the
counties.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the probate judges by
the United States pension office
/ Three cases have appeared within
the last five weeks in which a
soldiers widow will not be able
to collect pension because her
| marriage is unrecorded.
The probate judges want to re.
strict the marrying business to pro.
bate judges and clergymen and then
make the regulations so strict and
the penalty so heavy that the min.
listers will not fail to make the
| proper reports.
