with the assurance that lie will have

Mr.. Conley is a successful business

Mr.. Conley's campaign is typical OF
his personality and mas been remark.
ably clean and sincere effort, free
from personal references or mud sling

tions in the county have been true and
uncolored by partisan views, and he
has taken definite stand against the
inefficient enforcement OF the laws
and the repeated violation OF the pro.
hibition amendment.
During the past two weeks there has
been a great movement OF the voters

accomplishing the thing he sets out
10 do. has caused many lifelong Demo
cats to come out openly and offer him
voluntarily their support in his fight
against the corrupt Gang" which
feds like parasite on the life Of tine
community.
Personally Mr.. Conley is one OF the
most approachable men in the county
and has none of the formally nor vain
pompousness that is characteristic OF
so many of the legal fraternity. He is
a splendid example of what persever-
ance and hard work can accomplish
though handicapped by all manner OF
difficulties.
Although he is now secretary Of the
Marion County Bur Association and a
director Of the Fairmont Chamber OF
Commerce and other business organi.
cations and an officer in the National
Guard, yet a few years ago he was a
hard working railway mail clerk with
a wife and child 10 care for.
While working as a mail clerk, Con.
ley saved his money and worked his
way through college. receiving his law
degree after he was 80 years OF age.
At the same time that he was studying
law in college his son was attending
the grammar schools.
With the same pluck and courage
that has characterized his entire life
Conley has entered into the present
campaign for better government in
Marion county with all his heart; be.
lieying that the time is ripe for an
expression of the will of the people
toward cleaner and more efficient
government.
