THE CEDARTOWN STANDARD THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1900. ^TsrjsroxrasrcEivaTEisrTS- FCfrt 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 tor 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 anil opinions on the 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 field aud a fair race for all, whether rich or poor, upon tbeir 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 ofr lice, I am for the man who is. If elected, I shall endeavor to show ray apprecia tion of the confidence my fellow-citi zens repose in me by making the best officer m my power. My Deputies will be annoqnced later. J. C. Knight. B.
