taxpayers of the county in honest
and efficient service to be rendered.
Chas. A. Davis has served one
term as sheriff. He made a good
one, an honest one, and he merits
a second term. E. S. Hopes, can
didate for county treasurer. has
served the people of the county as
sheriff. He was a good and efficient
officer. AS a county official he was
a credit to himself and the Repub-
lican party and If elected to the
office of treasurer the people may
rest assured that this branch of the
county government will be well adj
ministrated.
Ernest ]. Goppert is also asking
reelection as county n ~prosecut-
ing attorney. During his first term
he has been an efficient officer and
his record as shown upon the rec
ords of the county will bea tie
closest scrutiny. The position, al
tho not a popular n during these
years, has been fearlessly and i'm
partially administered, and by his
untiring efforts Mr.. Goppert has won
the respect of all those who believe
in honesty and efficiency in county
government.
H. A. Phillips and Orilla Downing,
assessor and clerk of the court, re-
spectively, are both candidates for
reelection. Their offices have been
economically and efficiently admin

for efficiency that they seek re-
election.

commissioner job for the four-year
term. Although this is the first
time he has been a candidate for

a very comprehensive knowledge of
the work of the commission board
and will look after the interests of
the taxpayers in a creditable man

in both parties who are backing
their candidacy. Mr.. Caldwell has
taken an active part in politics for
a number of years n is well quail

Powers is a member of the county
commissioner board. He has taken
a keen interest in things political

present themselves for county jobs.
