To The Voters of Inde
pendence County
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
On account of the short time in which to make the canvass,
I will be unable to see all the voters before the special primary, to
be held on the 7th of October, but am very anxious to have your
active support and will greatly appreciate anything you may do
in my behalf.
I was chairman of the Independence County Democratic
Central Committee for four years, and did all in my power to give
every candidate an equal chance and to have fair elections. If 1
am elected County Judge 1 will give every citizen a SQUARE
DEAL and serve ALL the people of the whole county, and not
serve any faction or locality.
When a dollar in county scrip gets to the county treasury
it takes 100 cents to redeem it, and 1 will do all I can to make it
worth 100 cents on the dollar to every citizen in all transactions.
I favor building good roads, and will use the convicts in the
most practical way. The county has two tractors and graders;
gravel and road-building material is plentiful in all parts of the
county, road drags are easily obtained, and with the co-operation
of the people in each community, I feel sure we can grade, gravel
and drag all the roads in the couuty.
I have good reports from all sections of the county and
believe I will win by a good majority. I trust my friends will go
to the polls on the 7th of October and do all they can for my elec
tion' I will appreciate your suppoit, and if elected will endeavor
to give you an honest, economical and efficient administration.
