TO THE TAXPAYERS
OF TORRANCE COUNTY


missioner on the Democratic ticket
, l became candidate because
was asked by prominent, progressive,
liberty loving citizens to do so; and
not because of the salary connected
with the office, because the salary is
| small
l realize that it is an easy matter
for a board of county commissioners
to waste the funds of the county in
various ways.
Therefore wish to say to the tax
payers that it is my intention if elect
ed, to work for the best interests of
the county as whole, and there will
be no personal favoritism. If you
believe 1 am qualified, and that l will
do as l say 1 will do, would like TO
have your hearty support. But if
you believe / am not qualified and
that 1 will not do as l say will do
and that my opponent will make a
more efficient officer, it is your pa
triotic duty to support him. AS l
have always worked for the better
ment of conditions in our county and
state and as am still in the harness
and intend to be though defeated at |
the polls, ask you to give my can
didacy your serious attention.-C. M.
Milbourn. adv
H. G. Randy, the Democratic can
didate for probate judge, is COM
paratively a newcomer, having been
in Mcintosh just year. But he
comes from part of Texas contigu-
ops to that where many other citizens
of this county formerly lived, and his
neighbors in Texas recommend him
as just what he appears-a square
man, and a gentleman in every re-
spect. He is we'll qualified, and
would make an admirable probate
judge.
If you want this county represent
ed in the next session of the legisla-
ture by man who knows the needs
of the county, who has the ability to
become a leading member of the leg
islature, and who can be absolutely
depended upon to work for the in
terests of his constituents, and whose
votes in the legislature will not be
prompted and dictated by the agent
of some "interest," you will vote for
w. D. Wasson. In his candidacy you
have the opportunity to send to the
legislature. the precise kind of man
needed in that body. Don't throw
away your opportunity.
C. M. Milbourn, Walter F. Martin
and Castulo Marquee, are three men
who it seems surperfluous to say
should be elected county commission
ers. Each one of them is an intelli-
gent, well educated, successful man
of business. The first two are farm
ers who have made success of farm
ing. The last named is postmaster
at Duran, where he is popular, eff
ficient servant of the people. Each
one stands high in the estimation of
his neighbors in his own home neigh
borhood as a man of absolute honor
and integrity-square and upright IN
every relation of life. Put the bus
mess of the county in the hands of
these men and it will be in safe hands.
You have here an opportunity to do
yourself good turn. Why not do 1t!
prize for every contribution of one
dollar or more a beautiful victory
pin" AS it is an important feature
of the campaign that money given by
the girls and boys should be earned 1t
is suggested that those who have
some work to be done report the fact
to the local leaders and that the boys
and girls who desire work also re-
port to the leaders. In this way the
leaders can act as agents in supplying
the boys and girls who wish to earn
their money an opportunity to do so.
In this town the boys and those
who wish any work done by the boys
should report to d. f. Erickson, and
the girls and those who desire their
services to Mrs. Blanche Parrett.
1t is to be hoped that this work will
be taken up enthusiastically by the
boys and girls of Torrance county
and that we may contribute share
of which we need not be ashamed.
