THE DAILY ARDMOREITE

| he is a member OF the supreme court
organized among the law students and
he is better equipped than some of US
| might give him credit for being The
| only thing that can be said against
him is the fact that he is young. That
is the only crime he has committed.
But with that youth he has perfect
habits his private life is as clean as

is doing creditable work in the Uni.
versity, and he deserves every vote in
this county and especially does he de
serve every democratic vote.
The other democrat on the legisla.
tive ticket is Roy Shores. lie is an
experienced business man. he is able
TO take care OF himself anywhere and
will be an influential member of the
legislature.
Another race In which efforts will
probably be- made to knife the demo
cratic nominee. is in the contest for
sheriff The republicans have no
nominee for this office, the indepen-
dent candidate refused party nomina-
tion.he thought by that he would hood
wink a few democrats into voting for
him He thought h. would give party
men an opportunity to vote for him
without having voted for man on
the republican ticket He was play

more. II is an effort to get demo

didate, Buck Garrett, has made an
exceptionally clean race. In spoken
word and in his literature he has
done no mud singing and certainly
we are not going to indulge in any, |
but we do reserve the right to measure
the capacities of the two men and !
their fitness for the office they seek !
We cannot think OF a desired point of |
efficiency in a sheriff that the demo !
cratic nominee does not have the bet |
ter of d. This is particularly a race
where democrats according to all pre-. |
cedents and according to the princi |
pie of the selection of the best man |
ought to cast their ballots for the cleo |
tion of Buck Garrett.
In the races for county commission |
er there seems to be no good sense |
whatever in voting against a demo !
cratic nominee. They are ideal men |
for the places they seek Any demo
crat who votes against his ticket in
those contests will only be helping to
elect socialist In the third district
there can be no hope of elccting re-
publican, and every vote cast for the
republican nominee amounts to vote
for socialist In the first district the |
socialists have no candidate and in
the second the republicans have none

were trying to trick the democrats |
Those are tricks of politics. they are |
not designed to make government bet |
ter, they want only to get the ins out,
that and nothing more. They woald |
give us a mixed board, men of ideas
so different they could never work to-
gether and keep the county in a state
of stagnation for twoyear period. |
Democrats are Zoo wise to be led into
any traps.
There is but one safe ballot and |
that is to stamp the ticket in the cir. |
Gle under the rooster and let it go at
that Such vote will be for har-
mony in the county, such a vote will |
be for greater city and greater
county and it will be in keeping with
the vote on the national ticket Demo |
cracy has brought this country through |
the most trying times in its history, |
it has brought it through with honor |
and without bloodshcd and iu good old |
Carter county every democratic uomi |
nee deserves TO win by the biggest |
landslide the county has ever had.
