many people, concerning two or three and we add something
relative which may be people If
position the proof of statements will light after
the incompetent takes his office feel eaness since
the responsibility that will be upon those making the
mistake after being informed conditions.
The first for the nomination G. w.
Stowe and Mr. Stowel we'll Mr. George O. Watts who
announced later each suffers the misfortune have such
education that he would be unable perform the duties of the
office if elected Even if qualified sit in judgment upon the

the best information obanabe which the city and county
