/ Stand On This Platform
In coming before you to ask your vote and influence for
the office of |County and Probate Judge at the special primary,
I do so with a full understanding of the importance of the
office.
Having been Justice of the Peace of Ruddell Township for
fourteen years, and a member of the Board of Accounts for
four years, gives me a knowledge of the duties and responsi
bilities of the office, and with this experience, I believe I am
qualified to make you an efficient County and Probate Judge.
I have never been a candidate before for any county of
fice during my thirty-four years residence in this county.
office of County and Probate Judge is one in which
we all ha''e a common interest, and if the people honor me
with the place I pledge you that I will look to the honest admin
tration of the affairs of the office with all the ability I have.
1 stand for progress and advancement. I am heartily in
favor of better roads, and believe in the county co-operating
with the people in every way possible to secure better roads
and other needed improvements, observing strict economy,
however, and securing a dollar’s worth for evey dollar of the
people’s money expended, but I am opposed to putting the var
ious road districts into debt,expending their money before it is in
the treasury, thus depreciating the value of the scrip, and get
ting less than the worth of the people’s money in improvements
It would be my purpose if elected to put a stop to some of
the practices that have prevailed heretofore to some extent—
for instance: I would not permit the expenditure of money,
when there are no funds in the treasury to the credit of that
pat culai fund.
At my instance several years ago there was a resolution
adopted in Quorum Court to put a stop to allowances of claims
when there was no money on hand in a designated fund to
meet tne expenditure. I would keep faith with that resolution
holding expenditures within resources.
I was a supporter of our late lamented Judge, and endorse
his policies which have given such good results in road im
provements and should I be chosen his successor, I would en
deavor tc carry forth his policies that promise to secure better
roads.
Should you honor me with the post, I promise all my time
and energy will be given the business of the office, and when
you come to town a welcome would be extended to you to call
and counsel as to what is best. And the affairs of the office
shall at all times be open to the inspection of any taxpayer of
the county.
If >ou think my knowledge of the affairs of the county
and my qualifications fit me for the office, I would thank you
to go to the polls and cast your vote for me. No one would ap
preciate it more, nor strive harder to make you a capable, hon
est. progressive officer.
