least a part of the people, but In
this matter Mr.. Gyngard announces
that he will be able to make a sat-
isfactory explanation to the people,
and that the affairs of his office are
in perfect condition.
The Record knows that Mr.. Gym
CARDS conduct of the affairs of his
Office has received the approval OF
those official bodies whose duty it
is to investigate his record, and
there is not now on the official rec
ords at the court house a line or a
word that is not complimentary to
him as an official. In addition to
this fact, Mr.. Gyngard attends close
ly to his Office, and is a willing and
accommodating worker. We feel
sure his candidacy will have the
honest consideration at the hands
of the voters to which it is entitled.

CANDIDATE FOR Representative
". N. Arnold Of Lebanon Township
Would Go To Legislature.

W. N. Arnold of Lebanon town
ship is the first to use this paper as
a means of announcing his candi-
dacy for the legislature.
By no means is Mr.. Arnold a
stranger to the people of Sharp
county, where he was born and
raised, and where he has lived all
his life. He has never held any
county position except that of sur
veyor, which he filled we'll. The
people of his home township have
on several occasions nominated and
elected him to serve them as JUS
>tice of the people.
\ The Record would not undertake
I'd outline the platform upon which
Mr.. Arnold will contend for the
nomination of his party, in the ab-
,sence of positive knowledge in that
matter, but we know enough of him
to state that he would not stand
upon a platform detrimental to the
best interests of the masses of our
citizenship. He is farmer him
self, and it stands to reason that he
would give much of his attention
to the agricultural interests of the
state.
Mr.. Arnold is a good, reliable cit
izen, in the prime of life and full
of emery; is we'll informed on the
public issues of the day, and be-
lieves in integrity in office and
progressive measures for the peo-
pie, and if his ambition to represent
his native county in the general as
Sembly is rewarded we are sure he
would prove no disappointment to
his friends and supporters.
