Albert Philipp Was One Of
Oar Strongest Commissioners

ed rule but according to their best
Judgment. They must know and meet
the needs of the county. yet keep the
levy down. They must appropriate
money where most needed yet must
turn down many propositions. appeals
and suggestions. Every man in the
county can tell the commissioners
how to spend the money-and If half
the requests and suggestions made
were granted the county would he
bankrupt in a year. So naturally
many appeals and petitions must be
turned down.
It requires man of nerve to stand
between tae people and the public
treasury. And the mar who has iae
nerve to hn this place and guard the
public funds as he would guard his
own-to administer the affairs Of the
county as he would administer his
own can rarely be a popular man.
This. Albert Philip and W. II.
La Grange have done. And that Is
why the business men who know
about the financial affairs of this COIN
ty Will tell you that these two men
have made extraordinarily efficient
commissioners
Mr.. La Grange retires from the
board this year. and as the years &c
by his services to the county will be
better understood and better appra-
ciated.
Albert Philip has not served on the
board for four years. He is a cand.-
date this year from the third district
The candidate who was nominated at
the assembly declined to run and Mr..
Philip was induced to hli the va
cancy. He will bring TO the board an
experience and knowledge of county
Affairs that will be worth thousands
OF dollars to this county.
The commissioners each year have
the handling Of over TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS. and n little
knowledge of county affairs with
disposition to protect the public fuuss
will easily save a lot of money.
Every voter who cares about the
amount OF taxes he pays should cast
his vote for Albert Philip for COM
missioner from the third district HIS
name will appear on the Republican
and Progressive tickets.
