PRODUCTION to the people of this
section at our hands as he has
kept in close touch with them
since he has been serving as
their Representative. It has
been his policy in the past to
consider the wishes of his peo-

want to be represented. We
know of several instances in
which he has cast aside his
personal opinion of matters,
and carried out the wishes of

For Representative

The Home News calls atten-
ton of the authorized announ-
cement of J. T. Angelo, as a
candidate for the office of rep
resentative, subject to the &C
ton of the Democratic pri-
mary.
Mr.. Angelo has served the
people of Woodruff county as
their county and probate judge
and also was their representa-
tive during one session of the
legislature, and therefore, he
needs no introduction at our
hands. His record as county
judge, also as representative
speaks for itself. AS judge he
was economical, and conduct
ed the affairs of the county in
a business like manner and
was ever alert to the needs of
the county and the wishes of
the people. He is honest ener-
getic and capable and is ever
the same courteous gentleman
in office that he is at all times.
He respectfully asks that the
voters give his candidacy their
personal consideration and if
elected to this position, he
promises to give all that is in
him to the work and we feel
safe in saying that this service
will be the best.
