offer the following brief statement:
II elected l will use the same dill
gence and judgment in handling the
county's affairs that my own business
has always received.
| viii do all in my power to build
and maintain good roads for all Sec
tions of Lawrence county.
l favor expending on the roads in
each magisterial district as much mon
ey as 1t pays into the road fund. and
also a proportionate part of the excess
paid by the Louise districts. 1.-THE
Louisa districts pay about one-half of
the entire road and bridge fund.-
favor dividing roads into short sec
tions, 2, 8 or 4 miles each, and letting
contracts at public outcry TO farmers
to keep them in condition, thus insur-
Ing constant care.
II elected shall serve all sections
and all people alike, regardless of To-
cation, politics or personal relations.
In other words, will serve the whole
