CANDIDATES AUGMENTED

dates seeking nominations for office
at the Republican primary election to
be held during the month of Septem-
Der.
The candidates are not aspirants
for the same office. Two want to be

satisfied with the office of County
Treasurer; another wants to fill the
position of Judge of the Orphans
Court, while two others desire to sue
coed Sheriff Yutzy and occupy the
home to be vacated by him in the fall
or early winter.
Officer William D. Casteel. of Oak
land, who has been tutored in the du-
ties of Sheriff by Guy o. Yutzy as the
latter's deputy, aspires to become
Sheriff of the county. He is energetic
and has made an excellent record dur
ing the past two or three years as a
traffic officer and also deputy sheriff of
the county. He is fearless and at the
same time a man of good Judgment
and discernment. About the onlv
crowd that dislikes friend "Bill" are
the bootleggers and shine artists, and
they have good reason to fear him.
George Hipsley, of Mountain Lake
Park, is the other aspirant for the Of
flee of Sheriff. By occupation pain
ter; through association a Republi-
can, and by training man who thor
oughly despises liquor and all that it
carries in its train. Here is his plat
form: 81 announce my candidacy for
this important office on a dry plat
form, and promise, if nominated and
elected, tc lend an untiring effort to
rid the county Of the undesirable boot
leg and moonshine traffic and at the
same time to fulfill the other duties
