FIVE REASONS why YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR
VERNON {. LEWIS for County Attorney

He is taxpayer.
He was "dry land" farmer near Floweree be-
fore beginning the practice of law and there
fore understands the interests and needs of
the dry land" farmer as we'll as those of the
older citizen.
He has spent a number of years in preparation
for his profession at one of the best schools
in the country and has been in actual prac-
tice for about two years and is therefore
we'll qualified to perform the duties of the
Office of County Attorney.
He stands absolutely free from any political
alliance and is opposed to the domination Of
county affairs by any group of politicians.
He is a man of absolutely clean moral habits
and stands for strict enforcement of the
laws and for economy and efficiency in the
administration of the county's affairs.
