TO THE VOTERS OF THE Ell
CENTRIC JUDICIAL TOWNSHIP

Answering inquiries of number of
my friends, as to whether l would
make the race to succeed myself as
justice of the peace in the ensuing
campaign; will say, That having here
tofore announced my candidacy, it is
still my intention to make the race;
but it is too expensive to justify a
long and continued advertising of that
fact. | feel that more than sixteen
years as a citizen in the vicinity of
Ell Centre, and more than ten years as
justice of the peace of the Ell Centre
Judicial Township, is sufficient time
to 4acquaint the people as to the quail
ties of my citizenship, and as to my
efficiency in office.
L trust that my services to the pub
lie these many years have in some
measure been satisfactory, and that
may merit the confidence that you
have heretofore reposed in me, and
that you can conscientiously give me
your support at the forth coming pri-
mary election, Aug. Goth.
Very respectfully yours,
