FOR SHERIFF. • To the Voters of Polk County:—1 liave, for some lime, contemplated en tering the race for SlierifI of Polk county. I have withheld a public an nouncement for a settlement of the question ns to whether or not a white primary would be liehl l r the selection of county ollicers, being unable to buy votes, and also opposed conscientiously to vote buying, even if I were ablo 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 tlie people elected to manage it have called lor a white pri mary to be held on August the loth for the selection of county ollicers, I feel that there is an open field and a fair race for all, whether rich or poor, upon their merits and qualifications for office. X, therefore, announce myself a candidate for the olllce of Sheriff, subject to the white primary on the date aboye men tioned. It 1 am not the nominee of the white voters of the county for that of- iic“, I am for the man who is. II elected.
