To My fellow Citizens of Union County:
I take this method of calling to your
attention my candidacy for a second term
for Treasurer of Union County.
I promised you in soliciting your
support for this office that I would have
an otfice in the Court House, where I
could be found during all business hours,
for the transaction of your business. That
the business of the office should be run in
a business way and your every interest
safeguarded.
My promises to you have been faith
fully kept, and on my record alone I so
licit your support.
I am deeply grateful for the confi
dence bestowed by my fellow citizens,
and I shall always try by every means in
my power to merit your esteem.
Your friend.
El
FINN CRAIG.
]E1E
To The Voters of Union Countv.
I tak this method of addressing
the many voters of Union Count ,
whom it has not been my pleasure
to meet face to face.
In the beginning I want to say
that I have been your Deputy
County and Probate Clerk since
Novemoer 1. 1912. and my duties
as such deputy have prevented me
from getting out among the people!
ijs early as I wanted to. However!
jl started in plenty of time to have.
: seen you all and would have seen
| most of you had it not been for the
public canvass. Some of my op
ponents who did not want the office
bad enough to get out and see the
people, waited to the last and then
forced the balance of us ir t^ a
public canvass after it had been
legally voted down by a majority
of the candidates. I merely men
tion thi as a reason for my not
coming to ycur ncur-s.
Now fellow ci’izens as ycu:
d puty. i know that! have made
good. Notoie of my opponents
has ever attempted to attack my
record in this office. The reason !
I why, cannot help but ba plain to j
you all. I have been courteous.,
kind and indulgent to one and -all.
' I have never spoken an unkind ,
; word to any one in this office and 1
ask or invite any one to prove it to
: the contrary.* 1 also asK an in
spection of my private life both
before aed since I came into this
office.
I regret very much that 1 hav’nt
had more time to meet a-'d know
the salesmen, storekeepers and
offiice men of El Dorado since 1
came, but for a long time we all
finished our day's work about the
same time and most of tne time
: since Chiistmas 1 have been out of
j town, so 1 hope they will not feel1
: that 1 do not appreciate them and
want their support. 1 felt that
my services belonged to the people
of Union county and to my employ
er, Jno. M. McCain, and 1 have
stuck to the old adage, "business ;
oefore pleasure.” 1 hereby refer ,
you to Jno. McCain as to whether
! my services have been satisfactory
1
Now as the campaign is drawing
to a close, I want to warn my
friends against campaign or politi
cal deals. I hereby sav publicly
that 1 want no crooked politics. I i
!
am making this race on my merits
and am relying solely on my merits
for my support. 1 do not want any
swaDping and if any man offers to
; make a swap in my behalf, he does
so without my knowledge or con
; sent. 1 have tnis race won by a
good margin and 1 have won it on
' merit, and merit alone, and not at
this late date would 1 consent for
crooked politics to be brought into;
play in order to make my nomina
tion more certain. 1 will carry1
every township in the eastern por- j
tion of this county by an over
whelming majority. Whv? Be-;
cause that is my home. I have;
spent all my life there with those
good peoph and they want to see 1
me win b-cause they know that I
a in qualified. I will get a good vote j
1 all over the west and the man who '
i beats me in El Dorado township
' (although all of my opponents have
spent most of their lives here ) will
have the satisfaction of knowing
that he has led the ticket. Now,
fellow citizens, this is neither "hot
air” nor "campaign thunder.” but:
is my honest sincere convictions. I
based upon the good repcr's that I
are coming to me daily from all
parts of the county.
1 want to say my people have !
been taxpayers in Union county^
since my grandfather landed here
from Tennessee in or about the
yea- 1844, and during all of this
time up to the f resent. » ot one
member of my family has ever
asked the people of Union county
for a county cffice. We are not
chronic office seekers.
1 hope to impress upon the minds
of the good people of Union county
that in asking fjr this office I also
have at stake two years of hard
labor. I have worked hard to qual
ify myself for this office on a salary
that I could not hope 11 the begin
ning for more than an even break,
and now if ycu "ihrow me down"
and take up a new man to learn
the work, my two years of labor
ire lost, wherein my opponents'
nave o ly asked you to honor them .
with th office.
Now in closing I want !o say tha1,
I am in th:s race to the finish re
gardless of any reports that might
be circulatea to the contrary. 1 \
am not a quitter and nothing but:
death would cause my withdrawal. 1
and if on the 2oth day of March
' l
you fill honor me with this imoor |
tant office. I shall put forth §very ;
effort within me to make you an 1
honest, efifioiedt. careful and cou -
teous County Clerk.
Thanking you and all. i am.
You; to serve.
(Advt ) T. Walker i j
To ihe Veters til Union Comfy:
Owing to the fact that i have not (
nor will have the plea u e of meet
r.g personally a great many of the ;
voters. I take this method of ap-j
pealing to you for your suppor. in
my race for Gourity Surveyor. 1
feel that I am :n every way better
qualified to make you * good Su -
ve.yor than any of my opponent'-.
I come to you asking for this office,
on my own qualifications and as-:
sure you that I will g've my whole
time to the office and do your sur
veying whenev-r you call on me
1 will appreciat- your support and i
in return give you the service you
are entitled to from the holder of
this off! :e.
Respectfully yours,
Bpuce McCall.
To the Penple of This County:
I ham t ied hard to see ever,
one of you. 1 may have missea
some, but did not intend it.
1 believe if a thing is n~t worth
working for, it is no*’ worth having
I have ridden through the rain i
and cold to see you and solicit your
vote, ana now if you think I deserve
it. 1 trust you will rnnke the same
effort to get to the polls on the
25th day of March and vote for
me.
The uniform kindness with which
you have treated me. as we 1 as
the general hospitality of your
home, of.your wives and your chil
dren, has won a warm spot in my
heart, and whether 1 win or loose
in this race, the “latch string" of
my humbj^ home will always be on
the outside to you.
1 hope always fo be every day.
Just the same plain Will McRae
( Advt.)
4 Message for the People.
As a last message to the people
of Union county before the election
next Wednesday. 1 want to set
forth a few of the reasons why 1
announced for the office of County
Clerk: and why 1 believe, by the
grace of God ana through the co
operation of the people, 1 viil be
e ?cted.
1 do not cla:m that I should base
this office as a matter of right. No
man should. But the people know
th it 1 have lived an honest, up ight
and industrious life, and I believ
that they are going to give m
th ir support.
In determini ig whether or not a
man can* do a given thing we must
know whether lie has had the nec- \
essary training and experience to I
enable him to accomplish that;
thing. The greater part of my life
has been given over to work, in the
doing of which I have acquired the
knowledge which will enable me to I
make you an efficient Clerk. In
this connection it it urged by sim .
of my distinguished c ppone-'ts that ‘
they are the only men in the race
who have had experience in the af
fairs of this office. One of the fun
damental principles of Democracy;
is that the legisl iturexecutive.;
and in fact a'.l necessarv functions!
of government shall ire ex r iced
by and through different parsons!
at different periods; in other words,
that there shall re rotation in of
fice. In the a^airs of life there is |
no person wi.o-;- services are abso
lutely indispensible. These men
have h»ld this particular office j
longer than the shotted period.;
Remember the fate of Mr. Roose
velt for the dL-i egard cf this prin
ciple.
1 have always and shall continue
to have the highest regard for the
best interest j of the county, even
though that may be against any
persona! advantage I may have. I
have shared the responsibilities cf
citizenship and have received in
return an honest living, for which I
am grat-ful. • I was born, reared
and have lived in Umon county a 1
my life. I re pect her institutions;,
I love her people. 1 expect to!
make this my earthly home as iong
as 1 am permitted to stay here. a> d
when 1 am called to the great be- :
yond I wan. to be laid ben ath her
soil. H. W. Good'- n.
(/dv\>
To the Votr. s :f onion County:
The campaign is drawing to a
close and only a few days ne w re
main till March 25rh, when ycui
will be ci'led noon to ca c lh“ ct
ciding vot: for tho important office
of County a^ d Probate Clerk. I |
have made eve ry ~ffort to see and
speak to ; ach ot you in person in
behalf of my candidaoy and al
though 1 have seen a gr^at many,
there are some whom I have not'
been able to meet. If oy chance
liiavenotseenall.it is berouve 1
could not for want of opportunity.
To my friends I have seen, as well
as to those I h tva not. 1 earnestly
ask that you keep busy in my be
half. as my success depends cn
y ur remaining steadfast and ex
erting eyery <effort possible to fur-1
.her my cause.
Mv cause is and shall be, when ;
you have placed me in office, ser- ;
vice to the county and to you. dili
gently and efficiently peiformed
for each and all alike.
From the beginning I have made
md still am making this race pure- j
ly on my own merit. 1 hav : r.cth- j
ng to say against any one of my
pponents. and trust they are ac
cording me the same faith ard
courtesy.
1 feel that I am in every way
qualified to fill the office of County
Clerk efficiently, and to the utmost
satisfaction of every citiz in and
voter of the county; qualified from
the standpoint of edu .ation in the
public schools of the county, the
literary schools of the state, and in
the school of experience. i
After doing the best I could ini
the public schools of the county. 1 1
began teaching at the age of 19
years, in order to complete my
course in college. After finishing'
at co lege, instead of doing as other
young men have d< ne left Tei
p ace of theft nativity t > seek hon
ors among strangers— I came back ,
to Union county to ca* t my lot
with lone people, to seek what
Conors or bear what burdens mizht
oe in store for me among my own
oeople.
I have as best I could spent most
of my time preparing for public ser
vice. and now that the opportunity
oresents itself, 1 ask you to con
• der my fitness in qualification and
character f or the place 1 a^k.
• 1 h ive served you as your Coun
ty Examiner, also as Deouty Tax I
Assessor as assistant in the Tax
Cjl'ector's office and as Deputy j
County Clerk, and I feel that the^e
-xperiences place me in full touch
with the workirigs and duties of the
office I seek.
1 feel that it's not unbecoming of,
me to say that I have always had a
laudable ambition to servo ycu in
some public capacity. 1 believe
that my traini.o 7 has been such that j
I can till this important office effi
ciently and satisfactory to the peo
p'e of this countv.
If I am worthy, if I am capable,
if I am deservin’-, if l am compe
tent. if 1 am efficient, line up for
mein this fight and h-1 ) me to
realize the cherished hopes
boyhood, the lofty ambition
young manhood, and 1 shall
value in service to you for the gift
you are now abo Jt to bestow.
With heartiest appreciation for
your vote, support and influence in
the race. I am,
cf my

Yours to serve,
Georoz S. Tatum.
