TO THE VOTERS OF
INDEPENDENCE COUNTY
I am a candidate for the office of Sheriff of In
dependence jCounty, asd in asking you to vote for me
for this office 1 pledge you that I will use my very
best efforts to enforce the law.
I feel that from my past experience as deputy Sher
ic and 14 years as City Marshal of Batesville that I am
well qualified to fill this office.
During my term as an officer I tried to treat all
classes fair and honest and.no man even thought he
might have violated the law can say I have not shown
him favors and treated him kindly when he displayed
a desire to do right and make a good citizen.
* Fourteen years as City Marshal of Batesville with
out having made a real enemy in town or county.
Fourteen years Marshal without having shot at.
anyone or been shot at and without having to beat up
anyone in thq discharge of my duty.
I always.managed.to.handle.men without having to
resort to extreme measures.
If elected Sheriff I promise to faithfully discharge
the duties of the office and make you a good officer
and one that you will never have cause to regret vot
ing for. If you think I am well qualified to make you
a good Sheriff 1 will be grateful for your vote and
support. ' Your friend,
E. F. DeCAMP

Democratic Voters
Z I am a candidate for Tax Assessor of Independen
o ee County, and as it will he impossible for me to see all
o of you again before the primary, I want to ask you
* again for your kind consideration and support. Hav
<1 ing been deputy assessor for the last four years, 1 have
< | thoroughly acquainted myself with all detail work and
<> duties of this office, and if honored with this important
o position, I promise you impartial sendee well perform
o ed.
Fellow citizens to my mind this is one of the most
important offices in our county, and one that a man
<► should know something about before he could be ex
o pected to discharge the duties correctly. We have one
hundred and three school districts and I am familiar
with the name, location and number of them and this
o is very important as all personal property must be as
o sessed in the school district in which it is located- Now
\\ this is a business preposition and if you have some
<► work to be done, and it requires a man that knows
o how and such a man can be obtained for the same
o price of the man that does net know, your good judg
ment tells you to get the man that knows the business
< This is the first time 1 have ever been a candidate for
o any offide and would not be now if I did not need the
proceeds, and know that I can, and will if elected, dis
charge the duties of the office with credit to myself
<► and to all the people.
Yours very truly,

and that is by u constitutional remedy.
atarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
Mamed condition of til* mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or In:
perfect hearing, and when it is entire l>
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many » < a of

CARAWAY TRIUMPHS j
?!
Kirby Headquarters in Gloom §
Foreseeing Sure Defeat
People erfuse to be misled by frantic efforts of
Kirby campaign managers to cover his misdeeds by
f. 1. e charges against T. H. Caraway, who has ever
been a Democrat, and has so conducted himself that
he can look Democratic voters square in the eyes.
T. H. Caraway has never run from an opponent, nor
has he ever been guilty of bringing false charges
against one. He stands upon his record, always
courting a thorough investigation of it. His opponent
runs from his record, for which no one can blame
him.
T. It. CARAWAY WINS
if
&
I
Because he has right back of him and the people ^
know it. He wins because he is a statesman worthy
of promotion.
Bald faced prevarications are being circulated
>'rom Senator Kirby’s Campaign Headquarters, a last
desperate effort to check a landslide. It is likewise, a
futile one. Lacking the courage to face Mr. Caraway
Senator Kirby beats the bushes alone, spreading un
truths that only one totally depraved would stoop to.
He ha - no record worthy of commendation to present
hence his only hope is to deceive the people, which
explains his damnable effort to lower Mr. Caraway to
his own level. Itcannot be done. \[
T. H. Caraway has stood by the farmer. He has
voted for everything to benefit the soldier and has
been a power in helping the administration to win the it
war. No man has to apologize for his support of T.
H. Caraway—it is a source of pride.

THE LAST WORD FROM
HUGH WILLIAMSON
CANDIDATE FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
The election will be held in just a few days. Let
me communicate my last word to my friends in Inde
pendence County. Remain steadfast, the victory is
won. Guard my interests until the election is held.
I regret that cannot shake hands with every voter in
Independence county and throughout the entire dis
trict before the primary, and have a heart to heart
talk with you about my race, but the district is so
large and the time so short in which to make a cam
paign that I know you realize the situation.
You know Hugh Williamson. I served you one
term four years ago as prosecuting attorney. You
know what I will do if I am elected, because you are
familiar with the record I made in this office. I will
keep my oath of office and be treu to the constitution.
I will enforce the law fairly and impartially. I will
be found on the job at all times. *
I am asking for a second term. Casey is asking *
for a THIRD TERM. No other man has asked for a t
third term in this office in this circuit, in its entire *
history. x
People everywhere tell me they are supporting J
me because they believe I am entitled to a SECOND
term. That kind of sentiment is hard to change. I
appreciate the strong vote which I received in Inde
pendence county four years ago. According to re
ports coming to me from reliable sources I will re
ceive a strong vote there this time. I carried Jackson
County before. 1 will carry it stronger this time. I
have a strong following in Lawrence county. It is
conceded that 1 will sweep Stone county. These flat
tering reports move me to say that j am the winner.
I ask the good people of Independence county to
join hands with my friends in the other counties of
the circuit and help me win by a great majority. The
law-breakers and boot-leggers know that I fought
them day and night when I served before. They were
always against me and are this time because they
know that I will do my duty.
A vote for me is a vote in the interest of law, or
der and good government. Remember that I stand
for efficiency, uprightness and soberness in office. If
you support me, I ""will try to serve you so credibly
that you will feel that you did your duty when you
voted for me, if I am elected.
