+. G.. PALMER

f. G. Palmer, Democratic candidate
for County Treasurer, has been deputy
treasurer for Mrs. Annie M. Downey,
the present incumbent in that office
since she held it. Being splendid ac-
countant he has aided greatly in making
the office, under Mrs. Downey's admin
istration, the best kept in the state.
We do not believe that an auditing com
mittee has ever found even an 'i' not
dotted. With Mrs. Downey he has in
augurated order and system which in
sures an efficiency which cannot be
readily followed by one not well ac-
quainted with the office.
1t is only right that man who has so
fitted himself for position within the
gift of the people should have generous
consideration at the hands of the voters.
In an office such as that of county
treasurer, there are no issues at stake.
1t is an administrative office where
efficiency is the paramount requisite.
At the same time it requires man who

Commissioner uHllEn MAKES
sPlEIDID CLAIMS FOR OFFICE

During his term as county commits
sioner, W. II. Whalen has gained the
name of being one of the best road
builders the county has ever known.
With this record of one term he now
seeks the election as commissioner of
the third district on the democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Whalen has taken a commendable
interest in the Rainbow Route and dur
ing the last two years has contributed
TO W. A.Gillaspey commissioner of the
first commissioners district, for use on
that route the sum of 81, 500.0o a
thousand of which was donated and
fifteen hundred loaned out of his own
commissioner district.
Mr.. Whalen's administration has been
an exceedingly economical one in that
he has saved the county's money in so
many ways. He is considerate in in
curing expenses. As an example of
this an examination of the county files
shows that during the past four years
he has expended only thirty-five dollars
in livery hire. Instead he has used his
own conveyance overseeing county work.
Besides keeping up present county reads
in his district in an economical manner.
