To the Voters

am in the prime of life and in per-
feet health, l am fully COMPETENT to
fl the Office of County Treasurer, if
not. would not be offering for the
nomination. | feel confident that if
get the nomination | will poll much
larger 70 at the November election
than either of the other aspirants for
the Democratic nomination. l have
not an unkind word to say about
either of them
The fact that one of the aspirants is
the chairman of the Democratic
Comfy Committee, and the other one
held the office of County Treasurer
for 30 years is no reason why either
one of them is any better qualified 10
fill the Office than l am. l voted
against amending the constitution, to
allow ,reasurers to succeed themselves
and | think s years is long enough for
any man to hold that office He should
then step asioe and let someone else
have a chance.
I have been told that to enter poll
tics, and to be successful, man must
stoop to do low down mean acts, | do
not believe that applies to Shenan-

the county to yindicate my belief by
supporting me at the Democratic
primary on April s, 1911.

TINE FIRE At STAUNTcN.

The fire at Staunton should
serve as a warning to all other
towns. While we have had no
disastions fire in Woodstock for
ten or more years, we are just as
liable to have it as is any other
town. We have an efficient hire
department, and the authorities
should see that it is well equip
ped at all times. We need no fire
engines; having a water pressure
of 40 lbs. to the square inch, we
are really better equipped than
towns that have steam fire en-
gines. All that is needed is good
hose and plenty of it. We have
three hose carriage houses, IN
different sections of the town. A
force of five or six men can throw
a stream of water in a few min
utes. Let the fire company have
the best equipment possible and
they will at all times prove eff
ficient.
