THE WASHINGTON COUNTY
SHERIFF,S POSITION.

Announcement by several persons of
their candidates. for the office Of shar-
iff of Washington county has caused
more discussion than usual at such an
early time before election; but there
is some advantage to the voters in the
early discussion as the time viii ca
able them to get acquainted with the
candidates and determine which one
they desire to serve them during the
next two years. One of those who
have gone before the voters with frank
announcements Of their desire to serve
in that capacity is Herbert j. Slayton
of Barre, man who has been a life
long resident of the county The was
born SO years ago in East Montpelierl
and who has been actively engaged in
business and official activities for ap.
proximately 40 years. His official ac-
Invites have almost wholly been de-
voted to positions having to do with
enforcement of the law, and for quar-
ter of century he has continuously
been engaged in that work, being arst
chosen as a constable in the old town
of Barre, then serving four years as a
deputy sheriff under Sheriff Graves,
being a special policeman during the
next two years and then serving eigh-
teen years as a deputy sheriff under
Sheriff Tracy. The last ten years he
has been also acting as a court officer
at Montpelier so that he has been
brought into contact with various
phases of the work.
Such long period of service is cal
culated to fit man for higher posi-
ton and Deputy Sheriff Slayton has
undoubtedly gained such executive
ability and capacity for law enforce
mept during those twenty five years
that he can with good grace come be-
fore the voters of the county and ask
their support on the ground that he
is a tried servant.
And while -he has been engaged in
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-05-17

that work he has also been called lpon
to act in other responsible positions,
such as acting as trustee, as admins
traitor and in other executive work, XII
Of which has tended to equip him bet
ter for the position for which ne IS
now candidate. He is a man OF r.
pened Judgment, such as the position
Of sheriff demands. He has a wide
acquaintance throughout the county,
as well as throughout the state. He
is a man of good discernment. These
things viii be especially desirable IN
the position Of sheriff, and the voters
Of the county may feel sure OF having
a solid citizen for sheriff if they elect
Mr. Slayton.

The friendly spirit which has ex-
listed in the preliminary contest for
the nomination for state treasurer is
evidenced by the generous action Of
James B. Estee of Montpelier in asking
his friends to support Thomas Fl. Cave,
the present deputy state treasurer and
the only other avowed candidate for
the position, following the decision Of
Mr.. Estee to withdraw from the con-
test on advice Of his physician. Mr..
Caves fitness for the position lends
strength to the gracious words of Mr..
Estee in support OF the Barre man.
