this man failed to get the job as all
we'll remember
My opponent is an old time poll
tician of the PUSSY Footy" type.
You who meet him here and else
where when questions of vital in
terest are up in Granger county may
Judge from what he says and the
way he acts that he is innocent and
uniformed about anything that is be-
ing done. While after you are gone
and everybody is away from here.
then he may be found in close con-
sultation with the other members of
his crowd here behind closed doors
where he knows all secrets are kept
as sacred as death. Here all plans are
laid and from here through their
leaders in the different parts of the
county these plans are carried out
under the instructions and advice of
my opponent. He travels as the cat
travels in the darkness of the night
and does his work; then when you
see him in the day time he appears
to be as innocent as a lamb. Now you
who know him best know that ! am
telling facts.
Say friends and voters, don't you
think he has held public Office long
enough to be retired? If one man
is to be kept in that office all his life
what use is it for others to prepare
themselves? Why not make the
change now? If you don't he may
petition you again for another term
saying that it would be worse cal
amity than before to not elect him
again. If what he thinks is SO what
will become of the Office when he
dies? Wouldn't it be good plan to
let me try it one term and then il
can't fill it, we might through some
kind of petition get him to take il
again, or at least make the race il
he should happen to say that he
would not be candidate again. Now
in conclusion, I want to ask all per-
sons who believe in rotation in office
to help elect me this time and ! will
retire before | have served as Ions
las my opponent has already served
| further promise that will not VIC
late this sacred promise by getting
)out my petition and then running al
an independent candidate. Please reaC
and then hand to your neighbor.
Your friend,
ARTHUR SHIRLEY.
