HUBERT R. CAS0N FOR
 COUNTY CLERK

In presenting the name of Hubert R. Cason, of Lower Prairie township, to the voters of Hot Spring county for the office of County and Probate Clerk, subject to the action of the Democratic Primary election, we feel that he needs no introduction at our hands, being well known to practically all the voters of the county, as he made the race for Circuit Clerk two years ago, and be came we'll acquainted with the voters in that campaign. In his race for that office he received 1903 votes, and was defeated by only 97 votes.
 MT. Carson is native of Hot Spring county, having lived in Lower Prairie township all his life, and has many warm and influential friends in the different townships of the county, wno are rallying to his support in this race. Farming has been his principal occupa tion. He attended the Friendship High School, and afterwards completed course in the Tyler Business College at Tyler, Texas, in Mercantile book keeping, special penmanship and type writing, and, according to his friends, Is well qualified to make the people of Hot Spring county an efficient and competent County and Probate Clerk. He promises, if elected, to faithfully and conscientiously perform the duties eof the office in the manner that will be credit to himself and to his friends. He will ever be ready to serve the public, and feels, with the business experience he has had, that he Is fully qualified to give them prompt, reliable and efficient service at all timea
 MT. Cason will probably meet the voters of the various townships, in person, between now and the election but takes this method of assuring them that he will greatly appreciate your support and influence, and your vote at the polls on the day of election.
 Before making up your mind for whom to vote for your next County and Probate Clerk, we urge that you give this young mans claims your due and careful consideration.
