To the Voters of Polk Cocoty:—I 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 t'*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 who have expressed their wishes and opinions on tl:e subject have pro nounced in favor of a white primary, and the Committee the people elected to manage it have called for a white pri mary to be held on August the loth for the selection of county officers, I feel that there is an open Held and a fair race for all, whether rich or poor, upon t»'elr merits and qualifications for office. I, therefore, announce myself a candidate for the Office of Sheriff, subject to the white primary on the date aboye men tioned. If I am not the nominee of the white voters of the county for that of fice I am for the man who is. If elected, I shall endeavor to show my apprecia tion of the confidence my fellow-citi zens repose in me by making the best officer m my power. My Deputies will be announced later. J. C. Knight. W.
