l.. G.. CLARK

There is no danger of the i'm
portant Offices in the county beg
ging for candidates to fill tEem.
AS an evidence of this fact, we
call the attention f our readers to
the announcement of Mr.. l.. G..
Clark as a republican candidate for
the nomination for county re-
cordcr.
That he is thoroughly qualified
to fill the Office there can be no
question. He served the county
three terms as sheriff and made an
excellent record.
He was fearless in the discharge
of the duties Of that office and will
carry the aTe pirit with him to the
recorders office should he receive
the nomination at the primary
election and be successful in
November.
MIR. Clark is we'll known to the
people of the county so that it seems
a useless task to tell the people
anything about him.
He is an excellent neighbor and
a big hearted, generous man. The
worst thing that we can say about
him is that he is a republican. But
that should weigh in his favor with
is party at the primary election.
II made the nominee of HIS party,
his democratic opponent will have
to travel at a livey gait TO beat him
under the wire in No vember.
