ELLIS ANNOUNCES
FOR COUNTY JUDGE

-
| take this method to inform the
voters of my county, that l am now
offering myself as a candidate for what
consider the most important Office in
Randolph county, that of County and
Probate Judge.
-Four years ago, l was candidate
for this office, and received a hand
some vote from my friends, for which
| am very grateful Brother Million,
our present judge, defeated me, and
l have supported him ever since in
every laudable way. as a faithful con-
sistent democrat, during his four years
of service in the office.
! am a worshiper at the shrine Of
pure, unadulterated, Jeffersonian-An-
drew jackson Democracy.
| believe in the precedents set by
the founders of our government, and
of equal fairness to all men-"equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none"
| believe in that fair and just dis
tribution Of official preferment among
our people, that will stimulate and
encourage the young men and women
of our county to the noble plane of
life, and to aspire to qualify themselves
to hold the important places of trust
and honor among their fellowmen.
| believe that in every political cam
paign before an honest, fair, intelli-
gent, free people, for any official pre-
ferment at their hands, there should
be only the vital and important issues
carried to the hearts and consciences
Of the people for them to pass upon
at the polls.
/ do NOT believe in political mani
pulations, multiplicity of candidates,
blending Of commercial interests, and
petty political jealousies in such a
manner, as to hide away from the fair,
free, intelligent voters, the main, vital
issues upon which they are called to
pass with their ballots.
am for RANDOLPH COUNTY, and
her people, right or wrong. For her
when right, to keep her right. For her
when wrong, TO get her right. be-
lieve in going out after her rights.
aoofnof tho .,.rno0 clad IN fho oru,ar
of a righteous cause, and with her
sword of eternal truth In our hands
unite in one solid phalanx for the right,
we will surely win.
do not believe in a divided army
against the enemy Of my county, people
or party. l believe my recent course
politically, has proven this to every
fair minded voter In Randolph county.
Furthermore believe that the prop
er performance Of public trust re-
quircs that the functions. duties and
prerogatives Of that Office should be
carried out and performed in fairness
to all people, and in such a way and
manner as will inure to all the people,
the greatest good.
I believe that public Office is a pub
lis trust
believe that the duties Of the Office
Of County and Probate Judge reaches
to every nook and corner Of Randolph
County, however remote and that the
important duties and responsibilities
of that Office, should be administered
equitably and fairly to all alike.
believe in the exercise of that same
brand of economy in the use Of the
public money. that we are forced to
use in our private affairs, yea moreso.
for an official is using the money of all
the people. taken from them through
process of taxation for the public use,
and not an individual voluntary ex-
penditure.
. L believe in Randolph county paying
for what she gets legally. and getting
legally what she pays for, 100 cents
Of good, for every dollars worth Of
tax money she spends
If / am elected your County and
Probate Judge, I will not, at any time,
nor at any place, be party to any
unfairness of whatsoever kind or char
acter, but will see that each and every
locality in Randolph county receives
It's just and fair consideration In the
dispensation of the funds entrusted to
my hands.
Upon these conditions, my friends,
your support, both vote and influence,
Is earnestly solicited by me in this
race. Yours very truly,
e. Newton Ellis,
Candidate for County and Probate
Judpp
