Buck Garrett

TYHE good old democratlcparty
never turned down for re-
election the man who made
good his first term Of office.
Sheriff Buck Garrett is serving his
first term as Sheriff of Carter County
and is candidate for reelection.
Not even his bitterest opponent
charges that he has not made good.
While others have lost their heads
over the election and are running
franticalIy from one to another with
bitter charges against him, he has
gone ahead in the even temper OF his
own way and saw the people in a
kind, good natured way and has at
tended to the duties of his office in the
meantime.
The only truthful charge that can
be made against him is that he has
held office long time. Let's apply
a little logic and see if that is a suf-
hcient charge to defeat him: If you
need a ginner are you going to
blacksmith shop to find one? If you
need a banker are you going to the
bar-room for him? If you need ply
sician are you going to employ a
clerk? If you need lawyer are you
going to your druggist?
The charge Of long service and a
lifetime training is in Buck CARROTS
favor.
Any man will do to draw the salary
of the sheriff until riot occurs and
your life is in danger; anybody will do
for sheriff until some hend has out
ragged your home; anybody will do for
sheriff until your county is besleged
by crooks and honest men fear to
sleep. Then you need an officer, and
the people of Ardmore and Carter
County never needed an officer and
found BUCK GARRETT off of
duty. He has always been on hand,
and he has never failed to be equal
to the occasion.
