VOTE FOR A. II. PARRETT
FOR SHERIFF
Bond, XIV, Feb.

Bond, KY, Feb. 16, 1921
To the Voters of Jackson County:
will say in announcing myself as
a candidate for Sheriff of Jackson
county, Kentucky, that | think the
time has come in jackson county for
the citizens interest to be protected
as we'll as the interests of their girls
and boys.
I served the people of Jackson
county from January 1902 to Janu-
airy 1910 as Deputy Sheriff and dur
ing those years l was concerned in
and did work in all the important
cases that were in court at that time,
and went out of Office without ever
taking a bond that was forfeited or
a single rule being taken against me
in any court, and with the above rec
ord in view, believe you will say
that I am well qualified to fill the
Office.
The majority Of the people in Jack
son county are for law and order, for
prohibition as far as we cap reach,
and when the law is in the lands Of
a set of men who will not enforce it,
our efforts are in vain. We have al
most won prohibition, and / appeal to
the WOMEN and to the MOTHERS
of Jackson county to finish the job.
There are now a lot of candidates
for Sheriff and many of them have
official records, and I invite a careful
investigation Of all our records, be-
lieving that after such investigation
your vote will be cast for the man
who, in your judgment, is best quail
fed and will make the whole people
a Sheriff.
Yours very truly,
A. II. PARRETT
