 A small fortune in prizes is to be awarded by this paper and these prizes are just what any man or wo, man, boy or girl will te pleased to secure and the beauty of it is that there are no strings attached to any of them
 Two people will be made happy by being awarded automobiles, two will have fine pianos to grace their pam- lors, then three contestants in each district will receive a valuable and handsome prize of lesser value aud these prizes are to he given as a re- ward fer hustle and energy, dete.- imitation and aggressiveness.
 How To Get Votes.
 There are two ways of getting votes. There is a five vote coupon published in each issue of the paper starting with this morning and con- tinuing until the close of the contest This coupon when properly filled out and deposited in the ballot box at this office counts for the contestant whose name appears thereon. Then, there is a much better and quicker way of securing votes by having youw friends subscribe to the daily Graphic for year if possible. Votes will also be issued on all joL work turned in from the country districts when the cash accompanies the order. Every cent must represent a sub scripticn and the above are the only two ways that votes will be issued during the contest.
 kOntest KOmment.
 Look for the names of the contest ant who have been nominated to date in the Graphic Sunday morning.
 It may be that your name has been sent in by some enthusiastic friend. If so, make the start immediately. Acouaint your friends of the fact that you have been nominated as a contestant and they will do the rest
 A little well directed effort and energy spells automobile for some- one
 There is a small fortune in pTiz,s to be given away absolutely free.
 Take your choice.
 Do not lose sight of the fact that the prizes can't be bought neither can the votes.
 Appoint a campaign manager, sev- eral of them if you can' and they will see to your interest from begin ming to end.
 A good way to secure votes IS 10 write letters to your friends Tespo- ing at a distance, enlist their sup port.
 There are so many valuable prizes offered that anyone who sticks until the close of the race is almost sure of a valuable award.
 Hustle and energy backed up pv determination are the requisites ne- cessary in this great gift giving en- terprise.
 Make list of all your friends whom you think will be willing to assist YOU to victory. Call on them' explain the nature of your call and enlist their support.

/ hereby announce that l am a candidate
for reelection to the office of Probate and
Juvenile Judge, subject to the choice of the
Republican electors at the Primary, August
9th, 1912.
l have been assured by men of all profess
sions, business and callings that there is
desire on the part of the public for me to
main in this office another term; that no
good reason exists for change at this time
any more than in any other judicial office.
l fully appreciate this kind feeling on the
part of the voters and take this opportunity
to announce my candidacy. I stand squareIy
upon my record and ask for reelection on
the ground of efficient public service.
l favor placing all county officials on a
salary. This is the rule in most of the states
and it has been satisfactory, both to the
public and the officials. One special reason
applies to the office of Probate Judge, more
than to others. No one occupying a judicial
position should ever be subject to the
thought, however remote in the minds of
others, that in the performance of an Off
cial act, he is in any way interested in the
emoluments arising therefrom. If the peo-
pie are ready to place the Probate and Ju-
venile Judges on a salary, am ready and
willing to serve them on a salary, and will
HOI oppoSe ally legISldCIOH along CnlS llLe
will give the public just as efficient service
in the future as in the past. My personal
views, or the views of any candidate will not
change the law. Look to your members of
the Legislature. pledge myself to vote for
and support a senator and representatives il
this county favoring such legislation.
am opposed to the system that has grown
up in this county of a candidate being COM
PEELED to spend year of his time to be elect
ed to a county office. No business or pro-
fessional man can afford it, and no incum-
bent should neglect his official duties to en-
gage continually in a scramble for re-eec-

ton. Confident the public will care for the
official who regards his duty first, L appear
to the voters for their earnest consideration
and support.
During my entire term of service, l have
given my personal attention to the multitude
of duties incident to this office and have al
ways been found on duty. gave up entirely
the practice of law and have given the pub
lie the best service at my command. The
first two years l worked both night and day
and my clerks worked overtime in an effort
to bring the Probate Court of this county
up to proper standard of efficiency. l can
truthfully say, that the Juvenile Court is as
successful in good results as any in the state
Delinquent fathers have been made to sup
port their children. The insane have been
handled humanely and by competent physi-
clans, who have been just and fair in their
investigation and findings
In the large volume of contested business
in this court, including claims against es-
tates in three and one-half years, only five
cases have been appealed and in each in
stance the decision of this court has been up
held. Not an executor, administrator, or
guardian appointed by me has turned up de-
linquent or has abused the trust committed
to his care. No widow has been denied the
right to administer upon her husbands
estate, or to act as guardian of her minor
children. The door has been closed to all at
tempts to make this court reward for poll
teal service, and this policy will be continued
long as l serve the public as judge.
1 am in favor of legislation that will re-
duce the expense in administration of
estates. Red tape and unnecessary things
now required by law to be done, can be elm
mated, and a statewide system of uniform
records and blanks established.
