To the Voters of Polk Couniy:— 1 have, for some time, contemplated en tering the race for Slienll of Polk county. I have withheld a public an nouncement 'for a settlement of the i|uestion as to whether or not a white primary would be held 1 r the selection of county officers, being unable to buy votes, and also opposed conscientiously to vote buying, even if I were able to buv them. That question being settled, since nearly all the people of the county wlio have'expressed their wishes and opinions on the subject have pro nounced in favor of a white prlinary, and the Committee th6 people elected to manage it have called lor a white pri mary to be held on August the loth for the solection of county officers, I feel that there is an open field and a fair race for all, whether rich or poor, upon teeir merits and qualifications for office. I, therefore, announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff, subject to the white primary on the date above men tioned. It I am not the nominee of the white voters of the county for that of fice, I am for the man who is. it elected. I shall endeavor to show ray apprecia tion of the confidence my feilow-ci'i- zens repose in me by making the best officer in my power. My Deputies will be announced later. J. C. Knight.
