who bought a wagon from one Of the
York county candidates more than
twenty years ago. At that time the
voter who bought the wagon was just
starting out in life and dollar then
looked as big TO him as $50 do now
The man who is a candidate now sold
him that wagon on credit. The voter
has neve:. forgotten that favor and he

ago who was making the hardest fight
he knew how against one of the c@ndi-
dates When l inquired around learn
ed that this man was on one occasion
arrested for violation of the prohiol-

There is a candidate who must lose
the vote Of a man and his sons because
the man fell out with the father or the
candidate years ago over land line.
The candidate, himself, had nothing to
do with it. But the other man has not
forgotten about it. And does not the

affliation figures largely with some
voters in this election as it always has
in the past. 81 don't know Mr.. ---,
remarked a man who is we'll known
for his religious interest, "but l learn
that he is a member of the same church
of which l am member and therefore
l shall vote for him.
l heard the other day of man ana
his wife who were going to vote against
q certain candidate because they felt
sure that the candidates wife would be
so stuck up" she wouldn't speak to
folks if her husband got the place he is
seeking.

Words like service" and ability"
and competency" are nice words for

feels like Cole Blease used to say, 81
stand by my friends"
Err BOTH POLITICIANS.
