For County Commissioner
Third District
MURRAY W. BENNETT x
To Whom 1t May Concern

We have known Murray Bennett personally for
nearly 20 years and know him to be in every way
honorable and upright man.
He always associates himself with the best class
of citizens in the community for the promotion for all
good things for the peoples best interests.
He is generous contributor to all needy and
worthy and shirks demand request for
private public aid
So far as we know he has taken any active
part in politics and would not but for the pressure
brought to bear him from his many friends scattered
they in every part of the county
We believe that Mr.. Bennett is especially well
qualified for the office of county commissioner and if
elected feel his plan of cooperation with the
different localities in the county will give unparalleled
satisfaction

sonally known Murray w Bennett since $780, in fact
''kids together twenty four years ago in Denver
We went to the same ''kid" parties; knew the same
people socially We comrades in the organization
then known as the Sons of Veterans.
After having known Murray all these years. nev
er knew heard of his doing thing that would make
him ashamed to look another straight in the eye and
give him Just reason for what he had done.
Sincerely
THEODORE DOUGLAS.

NEW YORK CURB MARKET
Received by Private Wire Direct to The Star Office

crude quotations soc a barrel and the
reported increase of 24,300 barrels
daily in domestic crude output was
not encouraging news for holders of
the oil stocks. Heavy liquidation was
in progress early in the session in
Prairie Oil and Gas, carrying the
price below 1875 to the lowest for the
year Later a substantial rally set in.
Solar Refining was another weak
spot, getting down almost 10 points
from last weeks close, while other
standard issues moved toward lower
levels.
Those back of the rise in radio
stocks apparently were content with
their recent successes. and little or
no attempt was made to bring about
higher prices. Dubilier was an ax-
ception and continued it's remarkable
advance. Thompson Radio voting
trust certificates, which had not
