HAGAN BARR.
To the Editor of the CALHOUN

| IL IuS GulIOr Oh the CALHOUN
| CHRONICLE
Now that the time is at hand
when we once more must cast
about and determine whom we,
as Democrats, shall have for our
National, State and County nom
inees for public office, | deem it
not out of place for one of the
people of this county, who is a
constant supporter of the Demo
cratic party, to say something as
to the choice of the Calhoun Dem
ocracy for Sheriff.
The office of Sheriff is one that
essentially carries with it an init
mate association with the people
and an intimate knowledge of
the people, both as class and as
individuals, and this knowledge
can only be acquired through
personal contact with the people
by the officer for many years be-
fore he becomes an officer.
How about Hagan Barr of
Grantsville for Sheriff? For more
than twenty-five years he has
been actively engaged in a bust
ness which has as its corner stone
the close and intimate association
with the people, which is requir-
ed of Sheriff; the knowledge
which he has obtained in his bust
ness pursuits is the knowledge
which is ind ispensible to a Sher-
if. Although a faithful adherent
to the cause of Democracy at all
times. he has never asked it for
anything, and the writer believes
that not only would the Demo-
cratic nomination for Sheriff be
fit reward for his faithfulness.
but would be the best stroke of
politics the Party has made in
the past twenty five years. The
time has come in Calhoun Demo-
cratic politics when the Party, in
awarding nominations, must keep
in mind the election of those
nominees at the General Election.
Can any person for a moment
doubt that Hagan Barr would
carry the county by from 400 to
500 majority at the polls next
November? Can any person for
a moment doubt that his business
training and his intimate associa-
ton with the people have admir-
ably fitted him for the perform
ance Of the duties appertaining
to the Sherif's office? Can any
person, especially among those
with whom he, as merchant,
has transacted business for twen-
ty five years, for a moment think
that, if hard times should come
upon us during his incumbency
in that Office, he would be a hard
taskmaster, merciless collector
of taxes? Every person, who has
ever had any dealings with him
either in a business or personal
way land that includes about
every person in the county, is
aware of the fact that he is most
peculiarly fitted, as a Democrat,
as business man and as a MAN,
which last quality Is the best of
all, to be our Sheriff.
Let us of Calhoun, in this year
of National Democratic success,
not lag behind in the personnel
of our nominees; let us give the
nomination for Sheriff to Hage
Barr without any opposition, and
we will have taken the greatest
step we have ever taken towards
the elimination of so called
factions and fractional strife and
feeling in our County Democracy.
