James @. Gavin for Auditor.

James G. Caven of Laporte is the
only announced candidate for the
office of County Auditor on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Caven is
an accountant of known ability,
and by reason of his familiarity
with the different county offices
would make an exceptionally able
man for this important office. The
fact that the emoluments Of this
office are only slight should not
leave the impression that the office
is not important, for in truth there
are few Offices in the county of
more Importance to the tax payers
than Auditor. Mr. Caven's many
friends know him to be strictly up
to business and will give him he
large support which he deserves.
