I am a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for
COUNTY AND PROBATE
J UDGE of Independence Coun
ty.
In making my formal an
nouncement some time ago for
this important position of pub
lic trust, I stated at the proper
time I would present my views
and discuss fully my position
on certain things l'elative to the
duties devolvent upon a Coun
ty Judge, but since that time,
at a meeting of the several
candidates for the various coun
ty offices, it was decided we
would have no joint campaign,
hence this appeal to you.
My efforts will be directed
toward the construction of
GOOD ROADS, securing bridg
es over WHITE RIVER and
giving an economical adminis
tration of ALL COUNTY AF
FAIRS.
As Judge, it will be my pur
pose to ascertain and. so far as
county finances permit, to re
pair the roads and laterals to
Churches, Schools and the
County Seat throughout the
county, without favoritism to
section or locality. In other
words if you elect me, I pro
pose to be the Judge for ALL
THE PEOPLE OF THE
WHOLE COUNTY and I shall
at all times try to conduct the
affairs of the office in a way
and manner that no one will
regret that I am the Judge.
I feel if any person in the
entire county is in a position
to know the wants, wishes and
demands of the people, I am.
As Tax Assessor and Tax Col
lector I learned the work and
duties required in a position
that vitally affects every tax
payer in the entire county. As
your official I gave the county
the best of my ability and en
ergy in conducting an efficient,
courteous and honest adminis
tration. An investigation of
the county clerk’s office shows
in the collection of over $700,
000 taxes every cent has been
properly accounted for and all
settlements made according to
law. I did my duty. While
these facts are generally
known, they are mentioned on
account of the increase in pop
ulation the last few years.
The Widow and Orphan,
that are made such on account
of some loved one being called
away, TO YOU I want to say,
that when you have business
to transact in our „ Probate
Court, if I am elected Judge
your interests will be given all
consideration and promptly at
tended to, and all Administra
tors, Guardians, Executors and
Curators of ALL ESTATES
will be required to settle
promptly and according to law.
Now the Bridge Proposition
This (Independence) County
is now one hundred years old,
having been formed in Octob
er, 1819, and in the whole his
tory of the Country, so far as I
am advised, no candidate for
this office has ever advocated
the building of a bridge across
White River before this year.
Just why it is so I am frank to
say I do not know, unless it
was through fear some one
would oppose them that would
otherwise give them their sup
port and influence.
I want to state positively and
right here, that 1 am heartily
in favor of, and shall, if elect
ed to this position, use all the
power at my command to have
built and put in operation two
bridges across this stream.
One at or as near as it is
practical to Batesville, the oth
er to be at Oil Trough.
Now, my plan. I have two
plans. One, to make a con
tract with some responsible
company or corportaion that
would be willing to build these
bridges at their own expense,
giving them a franchise for a
certain number of years, mak
ing them toll bridges, all tolls
to go to the builder, and as
soon as they have received the
cost of the bridge in full, to
gether with 8 per cent interest
on the investment, then the
bridges to revert to the county
and become county property,
to be kept up and maintained
by the county in the future. In
making such a contract I would
protect the people against un
reasonable toll charges. -
This, it seems to me, would
be feasible and practical. I
nave been reliably informeci
that a good cable bridge can
be built at an expense of not
over $40,000. In fact, 1 have
a letter from a reliable cable
bridge builder to that effect;
so why wait, why not act now?
Still another plan, in my
judgment, could be worked
out; that would be by direct
taxation, but, of course, a
County Judge could no noth
ing with this until it was favor
ably acted on by the Quorum
Court, composed of the fifty
five Justices of the Peace of
the several townships of the
county, then it would be up to
the Judge to act- These bridg
es are badly needed, and I can
not see why it would not be
practical to put in and con
struct a bridge at each of these
places I have mentioned.
I was born and reared in this
county; all the interests I have
are here; I am a farmer by
choice and am proud of it. 1
have never been engaged in
any kind of business where 1
had to get out and talk my
farmer friends out of what
they had or were producing to
get by.
I have no promises to make,
except that I will handle your
interests conscientiously, hon
estly, impartially, and give a
square deal to all.
Your friend for Indepen
dence County.
S. D. (DECK) LINDSEY
Candidate for
COUNTY JUDGE
