offi. e which as all will remember whs
consolidated with the office of county
clerk and the officer is row known as
the county clerk. This officer has
charge of the book keeping department
of tbe county and th - law requires all
officers to reoort daily or monthly all
moneys collected os expended hy them
during asch day or month, For more
than a year I have had the exclusive
charge of this department of the office
and it might be of interest to some to
krow that from Januarv 1st, 1914 to
0' . ls , 1916, we have collected and
p id to thf county treasurer $10,166.11.

wish to be egotistical, for I do not
claim to be the only man in Beaver J
countv who could do this work but I
do believe that an experienced man no j
matter what his occupation may be. is j
nrore valuable to his employer than an j
Inexperienced one.
| On the 7th day of November vou
must eelect your next county clerk,
vou have three men from which to
choose. I have lived in Beaver coontv
since November 1901. I have shared
with you all the hardships of settling [
up a new country and am now asking
you for the firat timo for a connty
office. I have conducted a clean cam-
paign, having naver spoken unkindly
of either of my opponents. Mr. voter
it ia ud to yon. When yon walk into
the voting booth on Nov. 7th ask your-1
self thia question, "Who will make
the people tbe best officer, one who is
at present working in the offict ard
familiar with all the duties or an in-
experienced man?
I will appreciate yonr vote and ac-
tive support. Yours truly,
C. K. Dram.

set of men, tut will at all times keep
sUht of the fact thut he is a servant
of the people chosan by them to trans-
act their business and aa such will work
for their best interest. All together
now for a iran whom, we pledge will
not play politica, but will work in the
interest of tbe whole people of Beaver
county. We hold hia resignation as a
mears of enforcing the above pledge.

My Plea for a Second Term.
Have rcceivad the nomination far
tha office of Connty Assessor on the
Republican ticket for my 2nd tertn 1
come asking voor support for the fol-
lowing reasons. 1 have had 2 years of
experienze in the office and believe
I can give more and better serviee
than any new man, however well qual-
ified he may be, whf has never had anv
experience in that line of basineaa.
When any businers man or corpora-
tion haajtrained a man to do a certain
kind of work « fficie.ntly and well does
he fire hime because soma inexper-
ienced man need* and wants the job'
No. He keeps the trained man. He
would think any one crary that would
suggest to him that hia employee wa^
a second or third termer and should
get out and give some new men a
chanct, but that is the way some men
want to run the county business, which
Is the biggeat and most important bus-
iness in the county. Mr, voter do you
conaider it good buiineaa for the peo-
ple to elect a man to office and train
him for2 years at the county's expense
and kick him out Just for political pur-
poses and train another man? I don t
belioye you do. Another question.
Ars these county offices plums with
which the political parties are to re-
ward men for the influence they have
in building up their partv? Do you
hold the good of tbe parly aboye tbe
gtod of the county? No, I do not think
that you do.
A connty office is a public trust and
should tw given to the man that can
deliver the most and best serviee for
tbe money paid. In this case I believe
I am tha man. , My opponent fiist an
nonnced for sheriff and failing to hsye
the courage of his convictions he pulled
out of the race. He than came out for
county clerk and finding that he had
an opponent in the primary be and sai4
opponent got together and flipps4
nickels to see who would have to pull
ont of the clerk's race and run for
I county asstasor. Pate being against
j mv opponent be had to switch again.
• Con't you think that my opponent
I should be voted down for two j ears at
j least, for not having the courage of
j bis convictioaa and making tbe nc*
| fpr Bheriff'' Bat it being iinpoaaibU
for him to maka the rar* now ycu wilt
j have to deride who shall be the nex%
' assessor. When you go into tbe bootk
j to make eut your ballot on the 7tfc
day of Nov. aak yourself tbtse ques-
tions, Shall I vote a man down tba«
has been trained at the county's et-
i pensa for tbe past 2 years apd put in %
now man.' Will tbe connty be ant
better off? Will 1 got aoy m>re at
belter service! When you have an*
swered thene questions vota aa yo«P
conscience dictates.
