CANDIDATE FOR
A SECOND TERM
COUNTY JUDGE
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27
Results are what count. You don’t hire a
hand to work for you, and then pertnit him to
mosey along in an easy-going manner. Neither
should you hire a man to serve you as a public
officer whose policy is to follow the line of least
resistance and do as LITTLE AS POSSIBLE FOR
FEAR OF OFFENDING SOMEBODY.
In conjunction with the U. S. Government, I
started the Farm Demonstration work in this
County, which is SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE FARMERS. I built good roads, good
bridges, put sewerage in your court house, put
the convicts on the road, bought more land and
did some clearing on the County Poor Farm, and
yet Judge Craig’s Do-Nothing Administration is
costing you practically as much as my adminis
tration cost you.
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING FOR YOUR MONEY?
