him to serve in that capacity, and he
had always been positive and out
spoken in the house on all questions.

sician, said that if elected he would
always strive for the best interests OF
the people as he sees them. He ad-

teachers and less deputy sheriffs will
result, and he believes in education
and Christianity as a means to the
end of law enforcement and respect.
Too. many feel above the law; create
a sentiment of law enforcement and
back it up with the right kind of OFF,

constructive and not destructive
economy. He wishes taxes equally
distributed and assessed. Mr.. jack
