In 1905 when Judge Watts and II. s.
Pulse were candidates for probate
judge the Gazette earnestly advocated
the election OF Mr.. Pulse because he
was not a lawyer. The same argument
used then for Mr.. Pulse is being used
now for Worley. Judge Watts has
served seven years as probate judge
and is universally conceded to be one
Of the best judges the county ever had
Judge Watts is not lawyer We ask
the Gazette, HAS Judge Watts been
very good probate judge ?' Would
it not have been mistake to elect
Mr.. Pulse in 1905 ?" The Gazette
should either answer these questions
'or quit claiming that admission to the
bar is an essential qualification of
probate judge.

W. A. Teter deserves reelection as
county auditor because he has served
the people of Highland county faith.
fully and we'll during his first term.
The auditors Office requires man of
both clerical and executive ability.
1t is not every man that is qualified
to fill it. 1t is the clearing house OF
the court house, Almost all county
business passes through 10 at some
time. The business OF the auditors
Office and the recorders and treas
urer's Office are especially interwoyen.
A recorder or treasurer is very much
handicapped in his work, If things
are not done right in the auditors
Office. For the proper conduct ol
county affairs no office is as important
as the auditors. Mr.. Teter as We
have before stated is the best auditor
Highland county has had in 20 years
The people should show that thel

John L. Penn, Republican candi-
date for county treasurer, is well
known to the tax payers Of Highland
county, having been the deputy of
Charles d. Johnson during his two
terms as treasurer.
Before assuming the position of
deputy treasurer he had had train
ing that peculiaraly adapted him for
the work. He had worked many years
in banking institutions and was an
expert bookkeeper and accountant,
accustomed to handling money, and
this is important, for no man realizes
how hard it is to handle thousands of
dollars daily, make change of all
kinds run up columns of figures and
not make mistakes until he has tried
it. 1t is only the man with years of
experience in such work that can do
it quickly and accurately. And no
man in Highland county, can do such
work more quickly and accurately
than John Penn.
During his service as deputy treas.
urer Mr.. Penn has acquired a thor
ough knowledge of all the details of
the duties of the Office, he is not only
capable in the work of receiving taxes
which is only small part of the
Treasurer's duties, but he is compe.
tent in the other work, such as giving
proper credit to each tax payers, book
ing the receipts and expenditures
from other sources and keeping all
books according to law.
Every person who has had business
In the Treasurer's office in the last
four years will testify that Mr.. Penn
is always polite, courteous and oblig-
ing, especially those whose affairs
have got into tangle. He is always
ready to assist in Strengthening mat.
ters and is always pleasant about it.
If you want treasurer that you
know is experienced and capable, a
man acquainted with all the duties
of the office you will vote for John
Penn.

No man in Highland county is better
known by the people than Carey Long.
He is hustler and in his previous
campaigns and during the present
campaign has gone out and met the
people. OF Mr.. Longs honesty and
sincere desire to give the people of the
county the best possible service, no
one that knows him will doubt. If
lie has made any mistakes, and who
does not make some, they have been
mistakes of the head and not of the
heart. How we'll he has performed
the duties of sheriff during his first
term is best shown by the following
statement contained in the report of
State Examiner Doyle who completed
an examination of the affairs of this
co unity several months ago:
9Th Sheriff's cash book is exception
ally we'll kept and all moneys received
by said officer were accounted for.
"Bills paid by the county for board
ing prisoners in the jail were accurate
ly computed in accordance with the
date found on the criminal docket anC
jail register.
"The expense accounts of the sheriff
were checked in detail and founC
regular in all respects"

The Dispatch in its last issue tries
to give out the impression that the
Progressive Party has the most money
for campaign purposes of any party
it has ever known and will have a
Doodle fund for this election. The
editor In making this statement has
either deliberately lied or is willing
to make insinuations against party,
when he knows nothing of the facts.
We happen to know how much
money has been In the well filled "po-
litical war chest" of that party In
this county and it is the munifcent
sum of 800. With that vast amount
of Doodle the Progressives will, after
paying legitimate expenses, dump
large sums into the various precincts
of Highland county. Further either
the editor is densly ignorant of the
ways of politics or is intentionally
misrepresenting or he would know
that there is never any Doodle fund
raised unless 1t is, put up, by the
county candidates and the Progress
sive Party has no county candidates.
If there is any boodling next Tuesday
1t will be by either the Republicans
or Democrats.

Whenever you run across candid
supporter of Mr., Taft, he will admit
that the sole chance Mr.. Taft has to
be elected is by a concerted effort of
the big interests of the country. They
will say they don't see possible
chance for Mr., Taft to be elected, but
If the moneyed interests will cut loose
with their money and bring pressure
to bear on the employees and the
smaller business concerns Taft may
pull through. In fact they think the
only chance for Taft to win is by
intimidation and boodli ing. This
should make any man, who is opposed
to special privileges, who is for the
best interests of all the people, vote
against Taft.

We can not urge too strongly that
every voter 60 to the polls next Tues
day and cast his ballot as be believes
will be for the best interests of his
country. Study the issues involved,
find out all you can about all the cam
didates and then vote as you think is
right. When the people will do this
many of the evils that are now prev
alent will be abolished. An intelli-
gent and awakened citizenship is
what is needed In this country. Don't
blindly vote any party ticket. II the
principles of the party or the candi-
dates of the party will not stand in
yestigation, that party and those can
didates should go down in defeat.
The man who does not study public
questions; the man who does not
investigate the candidates on all
the tickets and the man, who after
such study and investigation fails tc
go to tha-polls and fearlessly cast his
ballot, fails in his duty to his country,
He may be model man as far as his
private life is concerned, free from
vices, of all kind and honest and in
dustrious, but he is not the best type
of citizen, because he is not patri
otic. A truly patriotic citizen ii
concerned about the welfare of hi
country just as much in time Of peace
as in time Of war and one way tt
show this concern is by casJing an in
telligent and fearless vote.

country, reports made by men who

The Gazette claims that the former
board of county commissioners de-
pleted the road fund. This is untrue.
The present condition of the road fund
is due to the one per cent. law. 1t is
impossible to raise any more money
for the repair of the roads under the
present appraisement of property and
the rate of taxation allowed by law.
1t does not make any difference wheth-
er the board is Republican or Demo-
cratic only a limited amount can be
raised for each fund Last year 1927. 16
was raised by taxation In this county
under the levy made by Republican
board. This year with majority of
the board Democratic $9073. 76 has been
levied for. The increase Is due to a
raise in the valuation and the fact
that it was not necessary to raise any
money for election expenses, there be
ing enough In that fund to run for a
year. The condition of the election
fund was called to the attention of the
board by Auditor Teter and he should
have the credit for that part of the
increase. Unless the amount of prop
erty returned for taxation is increased
the amount of money for road pur-
poses will be less next year than this.
