THE U N TREASURER AND TREASURY

1t is a pleasure to add our editorial endorsement to that of the
host of other friends over the county who ar lending their support
to the candidacy of Neil McFanan for county treasure His services
in that office have been characterized by diligence, ta1thfulness and
loyalty. He is and has been heart and soul in the service OF the
county with the object of improving its financial condition and get
ting it out of the tangled depths it was found in some eight years ago.
That Mr.. McFarlan and his official associates have made sur
prisingly rapid progress toward this end is proven by the county
records and will show for itself to anyone who will investigate.
The vcterso o a large majority of them when they go to the primaries
will surely refuse to displace an official who has been IS faithful
and conscientious and impartial as Neil McFarlan in the highly i'm
portant position of County Treasurer. Paying off debts and cutting
down interests is what counts in favor of the taxpayers.
