Beware of the men who promise
YOU new assessment of property.
The county cannot be run on less
money than it now requires to run it
and new assessment means that your
property will be assessed higher than
it now is. You cannot have schools
and roads without taxation. The Re-
publicans have promised so much that
they cannot do It without raising more
money. You had better take the safe
course and vote the Democratic ticket
