You will find my name on the
official ballot as it appears above.
You'll find, too, that my oppon-
ents are saying that Read Black
is the man that must be beaten
and they sure know what they
are talking about because their
ears are keen enough to hear the
voice of the people say that |
shall serve them as their Sheriff
for the next four years.
You will hear them say, too,
that | have been an official long
enough, but you won't hear them
say that have saved a dollar as
an official. YOU WILL HEAR
THE PEOPLE SAY THAT ]

business in the same way. and

To the Voters of Knox

desire to be your next repre-

am an orphan boy and a poor
boy and need the proceeds of the
Office, but search after me in
quire after me and if you find
that | am capable of holding this
office vote for m e, if my
qualification and general m)ral
character won't elect me to this
office don't want the voters of
Knox and Whitley counties to
hesitate one minute on me being
an orphan boy.
My father has been dead for a
good while, but what time my
father lived he was never able to
give anything but good advice of
which | willingly took and l have
found out since my fathers death
that it paid me to take his good
advice. ! have toiled day after
day in the coal mines but never
wasted my money and soon l had
enough money to enter school
and by being saving and study
ing hardI soon got sufficient edu-
cation to teach in the public
schools and l have been teaching
for a number of years. l want
to say ! certa inly do feel for the
laboring man of to-day, because
/ am one myself, we find coal
stock today 4 or 5 times as high
as it was 8 years ago; we:fnd coal
has over doubled in value and we
find food stuff in the past 8 years
over doubled in value but do we
find the laboring mans wages
over doubled in value ! No we
don't; we find the coal leaders
who live by days work with his
wages raised about 20 or 80 cents
to the dollar; if there is any class
of people that needs protection
it is the laboring man. and il |

To The Voters of Knox
County.

| am a candidate for the Office
of County Surveyor subject to
the action of the Republican pri-
mary August 4th. | solicit your
support and promise. If you will
nominate and elect me. to do my
best to make you the best survey
or you have ever had. l also
promise if elected to keep the Of
flee open during Office h o u r s
and that when necessary for me to
be away l will leave the records
with the county court clerk or
some other official at the Court
House, so you can have access to
them at all times.
Ihave nothing hard to say about
my opponents, as far as / know.
they are both perfect gentlemen,
but am informed by their friends
and kinfolks that neither is a
parctical surveyor and am at a
loss to know what they would do
with the Office if either should be
elected, besides one of them lives
near the Whitley county line and
| it would be a hardship on the
public to go almost out of the
county to do business with the
County Surveyor.
AS to myself, will say that !
have been studying surveying al
most all my life. Have had some
training at the State University
and have been continuously prac-
ticing surveying for the last 4
years and think my qualifications
and ability can't be questioned.

some of my opponents knowing
the people are for me. in their un-
scrupulous desperation are re-
sorting to anything they think
will injure me with the people.
They have been circulating, and
causing it to be circulated, over
county that l was responsible for
the death of Greed Rowland.
This is as black a falsehood as
ever fell from the lips of any
crook. as Mr., Rowland's sworn
statement above shows. But this
report if like the one which some
of them tried to start about the
death of Tom Williams, on Brush
Creek. which a three days pub
lie trial showed to be absolutely
false.
But | have all the while relied
on the god sense and sound
judgment of the people, whom |
have tried faithfully to serve
and to treat right in every re-
spect. When you elect me jailer.

render you any favor or assist
