FOR SHERIFF OF WINDhAM COUNTY, MERITS THE CON. SIDERATIoN OF ALL
 VOTERS

Charles A. Gates of the town of Windhan is the Republican Nominee for the office of Sheriff of Windhain County at ELECTION TO BE HELD on Tuesday next, November 5, 1918.
 That he has made an excellent Sheriff, acting at all times in the interests of the taxpayers of the County, is not doubted by anyone who knows him. He has proven himself to be just the right man for Sheriff.
 Owing to the prevalence of the influenza and pressure of work, it has been utterly impossible. for MT. Gates to see the VOTERS of tho County during the campaign, much as he would have liked to do so, but should the people of the County feel that his service in the office of Sheriff has been such as to justify them in employing him to fill that office for another term, he would deeply appreciate the support of ALL VOTERS of the County and assures them that he will give faithful serv. ice and his best efforts to perform the duties of the. office to the sats- faction of the people of the County if elected to the office of Sheriff on Tuesday, November 5, 1918.
