Old Officers Should Be Reelected

You may quote us as saying.
We have only an indirect inter
est in the local Columbus affairs,
but it would be satisfaction to
us to see the present officers
holding the position of Justice of
the peace and constable contin
ued in Office. Either directly or
indirectly we handle all papers,
cases and matters sent in by
such officers all over the county
aud M officers low holding such
positions are more competent by
active test than Mr.. Peach and
Mr.. Hulsey, and they should be
reelected, for we are in po-
sition to know their capabilities. +"
BY authority of county com
missioners.
1t is surprising how many
people constantly consult an
officer on seemingly a thousand
subjects, especially in Columbus
with its mixed population,
languages and border problems.

pressed with the fact that the
knowledge of Spanish is abso
lutely necessary to one, should
he do anything like Justice TO an
Office such as this. Most citi
zens know that | speak the

know, ! am the only candidate so
equipped. BY far the largest

quite sufficient.
