HUFFMAN is WINNING

In the election of a sheriff the
people OF the county should give a
good deal of attention to the claims
of G. G. Huffman, the Republican
nominee, who is making a splendid
race for the office. Mr.. Huffman
has lived in Dickinson county since
childhood and has in his extensive
business as shipper of stock done
business with practically every
farmer in the county. And every
man who has dealt with him knows
that he is square, fair and always
does what he agrees. He is quail
fled to make first class officer in
the position to which he aspires and
would give satisfaction. He pledges
the voters that he will give his per-
sonal attention to the office If
elected and see that everything is
done in first class style with no
favorites and no partizanship in
any way. There is no question that
he would make an officer who would
reflect credit on the county and on
and his majority at the
election should be big enough to
indicate the general feeling over the
county that he is the man for the
place.
