THE CEDARTOWN STANDARD THUKDAY, HA' 3, 1500. ^.jsrisroTJisrcEnyEEasrTS- FOR SHERIFF. To the Voters of Polk County:—! have, for some time, contemplated en tering the race for Sheriff of Polk county. I have withheld a public an nouncement for a settlement of the question as to whether or not a white primary would be held lor the selection of county officers, being unable to buy votes, and also opposed conscientiously to vote buying, even if I were able to btiv them. That question being settled, since nearly all the people of the county who have expressed their wishes and opinions on the subject have pro nounced in favor of a white primary, and the Committee the people elected to manage it have called lor a white pri mary to be held on August the 15th for the selection of county officers, I feel that there is an open field and a fair race for all, whether 4 rich or poor, upon tneir merits and qualifications for office. I, therefore, announce myself a candidate for the office ol Sheriff, subject to the white primary on the date aboye 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. 11 elected. I shall endeavor to show ray apprecia tion of the confidence my fellow-cPi-! zens repose in ine by making the best officer m my power.* My Deputies will be announced later. J. C. Knight. W. A.
