JUDGE }. LEE POTTS
Republican Candidate for Office Of
Judge OF Probate.
HIGHLY FITTED FOR OFFICE
BY Wide Experience Broad Education and
Excellent Character

In selecting county officers, the
voters of both parties to large eX-
tent breaking away from party lines
and, in the language of politics, "are
voting for the man" In county pol
itics, party lines are broken as never
before. The people are influenced
by the personality rather than the
party principles of the man. 1t is the
treasure of the man" that counts.
The candidacy of Judge ]. Lee
Potts on the Republican ticket for
the office of Judge of Probate is
strongly appealing to the voters of
every party and every class because
of the personality of Mr.. Potts.
When Mr.. Potts entered the cam
paign in the primaries for the nomn-
alton of Judge of Probate on the Re
publican ticket, he was brought into
competition for the nomination with
a man who had faithfully served the
citizens of this county for twelve
years and a man against whom there
was not a single murmur of dissatis-
faction Mir. Potts was little known
to the younger voters of the county
because of h% inactivity in politics
for the past number of years. Yet Mr..
Potts was nominated by substantial
majority.
1t was Mr. Potts personality that
nominated him in the primaries and
it is his personality that is bringing
him so strongly in to favor with
every voter, no matter of what po-
litical party, with whom he comes in
contact.
Mr.. Potts campaign for the nom
nation was charac cteristic of the man.
1t left no sore spots, no trail OF. mis-
representation, because that campaign
was clean and conducted with the
utmost fairness to his opponent.
Such a campaign he is conducting
for election to the office.
The life of Judge Potts has brought
him into contact with nearly every
honorable business vocation known
in humane affairs. His wide expert
ence has given him an understanding
OF an sympathy for nearly every con-
dition of life Charitable and kindly
with an instructive desire for just stice
Mr. Potts is eminently qualified for
the duties Detailing the office OF
Judge Of Probate
The first eighteen years of the gen
tleman's life was spent upon farm
and from the rural school he obtained
his preliminary education. Before
his majority, he qualified as a teacher
in the public schools and was an in
structor in the schools OF Galesburg
for a number Of years His teaching
was followed by a course at Valpa-
raiso. from which university he grad
uated in 1875. All this time he had
been studying law nights and after a
years study in the law office OF Hon
Jacob " Rogers OF Plainwell, he was
admitted to the bar. In order TO pay
his debts and square himself away to
begin the practice OF his chosen pro-
fession, Judge Potts again taught
school Successful again, he entered
upon the practice of law. As a law
yer, his prominence brought him to
