FOR SHERIFF.
To the Voters of Polk County:—I
have, lor 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 lor a white pri
mary to be held on August the 15th for
the selection of county officers, T feel
that there is an open field and a fair race
for all, whether rich or poor, upon their
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 in my power. My Deputies will
be announced later. J. C. Knight.
