win H. Ross is a candidate for
sheriff subject to the Republican
primary to be held in Henderson
county on Saturday. Sept. is, 1917.
Mr.. Ross has no hesitation in sub
hitting his candidacy to the Re
publican voters Of the county be-
cause Of the fact that he has been
a lifelong Republican himself and
is willing to abide by the judgment
Of the majority Of voters of his
party. In one way and another Mr..
Ross has become well acquainted
all over the county and his first
candidacy before the court last
April was the result Of solicitations
from good citizens that he enter
the race and attempt to secure the
office. He, has had experience as
marshal Of Lexington and by that
means became rather well &C
quainted with the duties of an off,
cial of that character, which in
cludes the Office Of sheriff. Will
Ross is a sober man, a good citizen
who wants the Office he seeks in
order to make a living for his fami.
ly and because he believes that be
can satisfactorily serve his people
and the ends Of justice in that ca
pacity. He will see all voters thai
he can before the primary. but
those he misses he asks to fairly
and impartially consider his
claims and if they can. to give hin
their vote and influence in the pri
mary.
