II Reelected

Having obtained the nomination
for re.election on the Democratic
Ticket for County Commissioner for
the two year term'I wish to solicit the
support of the voters of Carbon
County at the coming e%lectetion.
I ask this support merely on my
record of service to the people OF
Carbon County for the last four
years, aup will state that if reelected
that l will continue to act for the
good of the people Of Carbon County
as my record of the past will show
that l have done heretofore.
In the matter of expenditure of Coun-
ty funds, l have always endeavored
to secure the best value and best ser
vice and this will still be my aim if
rejected. Particularly in regard to
road and bridge work, l have always
used my influence to divide the work
equally in the different parts of the
County, so that general satisfaction
would obtian.
1t is a conceded fact that my ex.
perience gained in the last four years
will be of inestimable value in hand
ling the affairs of this County dur.
ing the coming two years.
l feel that 1t is just, fair and right,
to the large population represented
by Snake River, Baggs and Dixon,
that the Snake River valley should
be represented at the County seat
equal in importance with the Platte
Valley.
Thanking the voters of this County
for the very liberal support they have
given me in the past, and again ask.

a rival to Mrs. Langtry. 1t was a
large party. When the ladies wen up
stairs most of the men were hidden by
their hostess to follow as soon as their
first cigarette had been smoked Whis

man was asked to hold him in talk for
ten minutes.
Once in the drawing oom the host
ess produced a number of white feath-
ers, one of which she fastened into
each mans hair In front where Whis
tier wore his. Then b marshaled her
men In line, facing the door. and sent
word to Whistler in the dining o
that he was sta ying a long time and
she would like him to come up.
He obeyed. and when he opened the
door of the drawing and found
himself confronted with a line OF black
haired men. each decorated with a
white plume in imitation of his own
his face turned red and then pale he
walked slowly past the line to the end.
