-Stephens, •—The Man For Sheriff.
T' '» is what numbers and numbers
of citizens have said in the past sev
eral weeks and they are right. You
say that a change is needed and de
sired in the Sheriff’s office. I rgree
most heartily with you. Elect me
and I will assure you a most radical
change will take place. I have pro¬
found ccnfidmece in your judgment,
and feel assured that you will stand
up "or a strictly business candidate.
Give me your earnest support and
I will prove to you that I have the
moral stamina and the strength of
personality to make a splendid and
efficient officer, who has the courage
of his convictions and the force fo
character to put them into full force
and effect. I feel a deep personal
interest in every home in the county,
and am willing to make great sacri¬
fices in helping to throw around each
home that protection of person and
property which is vouch safed to
them by the law.
The only motive which has prompt¬
ed me to offer for office is to he
placed in positin where I can lend a
helping hand to the moral uplift of
my county, my state and my country.
A young man said to me: “1 would
not vote for any man for office whom
I knew drank whisky. I know that
all the other three drink. I have
heard that you do not drink, and I
am going to vote for you.” You know
•that this made me feel good.
Young men stand by that kind of
a boy; Old men stand by him, and
stand by me and 1 shall see to it that
everything in my power will be done
in the future to cause less drinking
in the future than has hitherto been
drank, and all lawlessness I believe
will be on the decrease.
Now friends, help us; let every
man place his shoulder to the wheel,
and let us make one masterful effort
to lift this grand old county out of
the rut in which she has been run¬
ning for years, and lets place her on
a moral rock that is as firm as that
of Gibralttar.
Nor am I running a play race. That
is to say that I have not selected
from different parts of the county,
two or more very strong men, who
have a better following than myself
have to put me into office, but am
running on my own grit and respon¬
sibility, carrying my own skillet, have
no connection with any kind of com¬
bination or trick; am running a clean
and honorable race.
I have only one deputy but he is a
good one. We are not dangerous
men, bullys, or thugs, but are strong¬
er from a common sense and moral
point of view than any other. We
are high classed moralists, and clever
civilians.
Give us your support, fellow citi¬
zens, and we will do for you a serv¬
ice the like of which has never be¬
fore been done for the people of New¬
ton county.
Thanking you in advance for any
support which you may give me, I am
Your friend,
VIRGIL T. STEPHENS.
