TOM POLLOCK IS
CANDIDAYEFOR
Legislature
First Tax Assessor of This
County Is One of the Best
known Men in Southern
Oklahoma Now.

The people Of Carter county will be
sincerely appreciative of the fact that
the announcement of Tom D. Pollock
for membership in the state legislature
appears in this issue of The Ardmore-
ite. His announcement is made sub
iect to the win Of the majority of the
democratic men ana women voting AZ
the state primary election to be held
IN the LIST Of August
Mr.. Pollock is not stranger to the
people of this section of oklahoma For
10 years he has resided in the southern
portion of the state and for more than
score of years he has resided in what
is now Carter county.
His chief pursuits have been those
of agriculture and stock raising. He
has succeeded well His efforts have
been rewarded by reasonable income
for himself and those dependent upon
him and he can spare as much time
from his business as his office will re.
quire.
He Is Loyal
Having lived all his life among these
people ii is safe TO say that he will
know no other loyalty except to these
people and he will know no other de-
vouon except to our own section of the
country
Mr. Pollock is as vigorous and
healthy now as he ever was in his
youth he has all the fire and spirit Of
life. but experience has brought to him
superior judgment that affords him
a safe guide in matters of public policy
and he will be an ideal man TO repre-.
sent our people in the legislature
First Tax Assessor.
Some years ago he organized the
Anti-Horse Thief Association I'm this
country, and az a result of that organ-
zation horse stealing became practically
unknown. He was Carter county's first
tax assessor. Those were the days
when the county was in its Formative.
period and it was necessary for Mr..
Pollock's work to be tried by the fire
Of the opinion of the courts, but after
that ordeal even the smell of fire was
not apparent and his work received the
fun and complete approval Of the dis.
trict court.
He is a man who has been tried but
never found wanting. He possesses
the courage Of his convictions when he
takes stand on a public question and
he never hesitates to let the world
know where he stands, and he chooses
to fight in the open in frank and hon.
est nHnner.
There are to be two members elected
to the Legislature from Carter county
SO far no one has offered against Mr..
Pollock and the chances are that no
one will announce against him.
