COUNTY and PROBATE JUDGE
My Opponent Says He Has
Issued no Circulars Against Me
SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT FOHGET
Two and four years ago my opponent conducted each
of his campaigns against me with CIRCULARS.
He kept them up until election day.
He attacked my PRIVATE AFFAIRS for ten years
back.

Do you remember this?
My opponent has suddenly changed front. Now he
comes out in his newspaper ad denouncing circulars.
WHY? Because I have given you his PLAIN, WRITTEN
RECORD. Do you know why he has so suddenly professed
his dis-belief in circulars? You see he is unable to answer
his RECORD, he wants now to discredit my circular giv
ing his RECORD as it is written at the Court house by
saying that he does not believe in circulars. My opponent
evidently thinks you have forgotten his flood of circulars
two and four years ago but you have not.
My opponent commits himself to good roads, heavy steel bridges and pro
gress. I agree with him on this subject. I would like to see a turnpike on
every highway, a steel bridge across every stream in the county. But I do not
want you to overlook the fact that it takes MONEY to have them.
Our county is already taxed to death and I am not in favor of running the
county thousands of dollars futher in debt for improvrnents that we would be
many years in paying for.
If a man’s earnings are $500.00 per year and he spends $1000.00 it is evi
dent that he will soon reach financial ruin. Just so with the county.
I want to pull our county out of the debt incurred by my opponent in his
administration before I build too many HEAVY STEEL BRIDGES. OUR
PEOPLE ARE ALREADY BURDENED DOWN WITH HIGH TAXES.

The
Telephone
Don’t add to your troubles
the inconvenience of doing
without a Telephone.
There is no department of
business, professional or in
dustrial life in which it is not
an essential part.
No community, however
small, can enjoy the full ad
vantages of modern life with
out including the Telephone.
By its use to the needs of
humanity it has proved its
claims to rank as one of the
necessaries of life.
The farmer who wants to
make his farm more profit
able and life more pleasant
for his family should have a
Telephone in his home.
