candidate, yet in 1897 Mr.. Plummer was
elected and reelected every five years
since.
Why? Because of his special fitness
and efficiency. His brother-in-law,
George r. Morrison, was Surrogate for
fifteen years previous, and his father,
William Plummer, was Surrogate in
1S57-62.
1t has been proven that a special fit
