Martin N. Esbeck

o Martin N. Esbeck, the retiring.
member of the Board of Supervisors
has certainly given the public three
years of the best of his life. Many
years ago Martin was elected Recor-
der of Audubon County where he
did the county good service and wac
rewarded by re election, if our
memory serves US rightly. His
knowledge gained in that office
fitted him for the office of County
Supervisor which term terminated
Jan 3rd last.
Martin retires feeling that he has
conecientiously served his consti-
tuency with practical common
sense, displayed in his every act.
After the expiration of the term of
our present Representative we con-
slider Mr.. Esbeck logical candi-
date for that high office. Why not?
