The colored voterE of Polk county
were never more united in the sup
port Of any candidate for public Office
than they are in supporting George
e. Brammer for county attorney.
George Brammer is known to be fair
and unprejudiced; in fact he demon
strated his absolute fairness in the
last session Of the owa legislature, of
which he was a member from this
county. He gLne courtaP us treatment
and c6llkIderll 70 every person
having public business to transact
with him, and he may be expected to
do the same thing in any Office in
which the voters may place him.
Mr.. Brammer introduced and cham
pioned what was known as the ZAP
preparation bill" for the colored peo-
pie and in many other ways showed
that he is unbiased and a safe man
to occupy public Office.
George Brammer is we'll qualified
for the position he seeks and seems
to be receiving as strong support
among all classes as he is among the
colored people. Indications are that
he will be a winner" by a good ma
jority. He will make good county
attorney.
