NEW CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF.
Frank L. Eaton of Waterbury An
nounces Candidacy for Nomination.

A lively contest tor the Republican
nomination for sheriff Of Washington
county is promised BY che decision
OF Frank i. Eaton of Waterbury to
enter the primary in opposition TO
Sheriff Frank Tracy Mr.. Eaton has
been deputy sheriff for neacIg dog !
en- years, has been constable and has
held other Offices. His candidacy was
announced in last nights Waterbury
Record as follows.
This vicinity is to have candi-
date for high sheriff. We say yicini-
ty because the man who aspires for
this position was Mad river valley
resident up to few years ago and
this splendid section of the country
registered their claim and want ii gen
orally known that although Frank t.
Eaton is a resident and tax payer ef
Waterbury to-day, he is a Mad river
valley product and has the backing
in his ambition Of nearly every Re-
publican voter i'm this district OF the
county.
mo stronger endorsement can be
given candidate seeking political hon.
or than to have the locality in which
he passed his boyhood days and began
his business career, volunteer their
most loyal support Best OF all this
endorsement comes from voters en-
gagged in all vocations Of life. which is
the real test of any mans voting
strength !
Some ten years ago Mr.. Eaton
moved from Waitsfield to Waterbury.
The voters of this town were quick
TO see that splendid type OF citizen
had moved into our midst They have
used him. He has served the village
as its president in a way that reflect
ed credit on his executive ability As
constable of the town for several years,
his work has given the utmost salts
faction. At the annual town meeting
last March. he was given one of the
most important offices of the town,
that of selectman. Mr.. Eaton has al
ways made good in every village or
town position of trust he has been
called upon TO fill.
MIR. Eaton knows the sheriff bust
ness from the ground up. He has been
q member Of the Washington county
staff Of deputies for the past ten wears.
He possesses just that type of man
hood that makes fit the sheriff de-
partment He is always gentleman
The word kindness" plays a promi-
nent part in Mr. Eaton's makeup, He
has plenty of courage and no job is
ever too big for him to encounter. The
word fear was long ago stricken from
MIR. Eatop's vocabulary.
Mr.. Eaton has never tried his luck
as a vote getter. We know him to be
friend getter and we do know that
Eaton a. well as his neighbors and
business associates do in Waterbury
and throughout the Mad river valley
he would in our Judgment be the next
sheriff of Washington county We
hope the voters of the county. every
one of EN-. will have an opportunity
before nomination time to see and talk
with Mr.. Eaton. The primary law
calls for personal contact with men
seeking political recognition and we
know that in Mr.. Eaton, the county |
has citizen whose business ard Off
cial record will stand the most rigid |
test
"The office of the sheriff of this
is one of the best positions |
from a remunerative standpoint with
in the gift of its voters. II is not /
right TO eonfine this opportunity to one
man for an indefinite period, that is,
if some other man in the county is /
capable of keeping up the standard Of
the Office. In presenting Mr.. Eaton's
name. we know that if he is nomi-
mated and elected the voters of the
county viii have just reason to feel
proud of their choice.
Best Of all, Mr.. Eaton is Wash
ngton county product. This is his
nome. Everything being equal we feel
hat the voters of the county will take
pleasure in recognizing and support
ng the candidacy of Frank L. Eaton
ior sheriff of Washington county"
