CHARLES NORTON
For Sheriff

Charles A. Norton is a pioneer
farmer Of the East Medicine
Lake country where he has
farmed with his brother for
many years, coming from Mis-
souri,.
One of the surest judges of a
man is the respect in which he
is held by his neighbOrs. In his
entire community, you can find
no One but who speaks a good
word for Charles Norton. He
will receive a practically solid
vote in his precinct.
Charles Norton has always been
a progressive and has been
member of every progressive
movement in Sheridan county.
He stands well over six feet in
his stocking feet and has the
courage to cope with any situa-
ton which may rise in the ad-
ministering of his office. He
will not send his deputy to take
care of criminals, but will be ION
the ground himself.
If Charles Norton is elected,
he has promised to police Sher-
idan county thoroughly and as
economical as it can possibly be
done. However, he will not sac
rifice his sworn duty to uphold
the law in order to make pOliti-
al hash Of economy. He has
promised to leave the farm and
make his home in PlentywOOld,
where he will be at the service
of the public day or night, and
will leave the farming to his
brother.
The Sheriff's job is one of the
most important in the county. 1t
is often used by the bankers and
bill collectors to bully the farm
ers into giving away their rights
guaranteed by our Constitution.
Charles Norton says he will not
be a tool for the bankers and
mortgage sharks, but will carry
out the letter of the law, and
mo more. When in doubt he will
favor his people.
Charles A. Norton is one of
you. He will be true to you. On
November, One of the bigges
services, you can do for your
self, your family, and your
neighbOrs is to place an X before
the name pf Charles A. Norton
on the Farmer-LabOr ticket.

problems of both and knows they
