circumstances to a place Of prom
inence 10 the councils OF his party.
His strenuous fight Tor success
In life proves him worthy OF his

the best OF his life in defence OF
his country during the civil war
and his grandfather fought thru
the revolutionary war that We
might enjoy our present degree
oil independence.
Mr.. Proctor has been life long
Republican and has for years
given freely oi his time and means
Tor the promotion OF the success
o the Republican party. During
previous campaigns he has unsel-
fishly fought for the election o.
his opponent th Office without

ferment. His many friends thru
cut the district believe that the
party should honor these years
uninterrupted service by nomi-
mating him him ir member OF
the State b ard OF Equalization.
Mr.. Paoctor is an old Rebubli-
can, but a new candidate. His
personal popularity and admir-
able mixing qualities make him
by far the strongest candidate that
