CHANGES MIND;
WILL MAKE RACE

John Condra, of Whitwell, has re-
considered his decision not to make
the race for sheriff as announced last
week, and has thrown his hat into
the ring for keeps. He authorized
the News late Tuesday evening by
special messenger, to place his an
nouncement in the News columns.
Urgent solicitation from number
of friends from all parts of the coun
ty caused reconsideration, and so the
race for sheriff of Marion is assum-
ing interesting proportions. Mr..
Condra has had great deal of ex-
perience as an officer, and has prov
en- himself fearless on all occasions.
His friends argue that, if elected, he
will prove an ideal sheriff.
