An Appreciation.

10 the voters OF Morgan county:
There has been much said in
regard to efficiency Of the differ.
ent candidates for office. - It is
ar imperative duty and one Of
the great elements of citizenship
for every voter in the county
who can possibly get to the polls
to vote for men who are exper-
fenced and acquainted with their
work. One of the most import
ant Offices in the county is the
School Superintendent. There
should be a careful selection made
for this very important Office.
Let us all get together in one
solid phalanx and elect Jas. W.
Davis; then we know for sure
that we are getting one among
the aspirants who can do the
work efficiently.
Mr.. Davis is not making the
race for self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
but for the purpose of elevating
the standard of the schools, to
carry out the true principles of
the good work begun and to pro-
mote the progress of education
in general by vitalizing and social
izing the important facts con-
nected with school work; to in
spire the community to a better
realization that an educational
awakening must be brought a.
bout by cooperation of all who
are interested in educational
work.
Morgan county never has pro-
duced a better Superintendent
than Mr.. Davis. He has all the
necessary qualifications, and as
far as efficiency is concerned you
can't find a better suited man in
the country for the Office to which
he aspires. He is a true. noble,
trustworthy, broad-minded, fair
who is NOT deceptive and stiff.

hand and wore that broad smile
just the same when he was not a
candidate as he does to-day. He

Day for Clean Elections.

To the people Of Morgan county:
This letter is addressed to the
Democratic voters of Morgan
county, Individually and collect
lively. l only address the people
in mass, as | am not acquainted
with gang politics.

race for my opponent is a practi-
cal and experienced politician,

by reason of his holding office,
also has the support of the pro-
fessional politicians. So l must
make my appeal for support to
the plain Democratic voters, and
| must say that to me, a Demo-
crat is just a Democrat, and
everyone has the same right and
the same voice in the selection
of nominees, whether he is rich
or poor, has held office or has not.
and whether he lives ia town,
village, river bottom or on the
head of the branch.

plain man and feel that that kind
of a man will be appreciated by
the citizenship of Morgan County.

what little official position | have
held and my experience teaches
me to be careful about voting
away the money Of the good tax
payers, yet where improvements
are necessary for the general
good, / would not hesitate to act
in an official capacity in the same
way that a business man would
in his own affairs. This is par
ticularly applicable to the propo-
sition of good roads,

that it was under my short ad-
ministration as County Judge
