ARTHUR HERD FOR
PUBLIC WEIGHER
In another column of the Star will
be found a statement from Arthur
Herd announcing himself a candidate
fepr the democratic nomination for
county weigher. Mr. Herd is a young
man who has lived in Greer county
many years and is well known to per-
haps the greater part of the citizen-
ship of the county, and the democrats
of the county will do well to consider
his candidacy. Read his announce-
ment which will be found in another
column.
upen our statute books. Including pro-
hibition and ».vrrything and h«
t-arneetly solicits th*. vot« of t-veryon<
believing an he does. Though he ha*
been a resident of the county for many
years, and has always been sn active
democrat, this Is the first time h* baj
offered himself for public office. He
|« h candidate because he wants the
office, and because he fe*la that he Is
competent to fill It, and because he
feels that his record as a cltixen and
an officer entitles him to conaldera
tlon.
Mr. Moore Is a good man. and ahould
the democrats honor him with the
nomination, we feel sure he will at all
times do his best to discharge his
full duty In enforcing the law of our
state. Consider his candidacy before
casting your ballot.
o ——
to the voters of
greer county:
Allow me to use this means of an-
nouncing to you that I am a candl
date for the office of public welgbar
of this county, subject to the action of
the democratic primary to be held
August 4th, 1914.
In making thia announcement, I am
not unmindful of the struggle In the
campaign, as I shall deem It a pleas
ure to meet the people and ascertain
their wishes, and at such times ox-
change ideas with them. Nor am 1
unmindful of the duties Imposed upon
public officers, and especially the of-
fice I seek. I realize that the man
who takes the "long chances" of grow-
ing a crop In this county should have
an able and trustworthy man in this
office: that he should have his pro-
duce handled in a mann^f that will
Insure to him exact compensation at
the market price; and that the man
who invests his money in such pro-
duce should likewise get what he pays
for and no more. The farmer, the mer-
chant, the banker, the laborer, and
the broker should have, and if I am
(elected, shall receive, such treatment
as the law prescribes for them; that
J shall faithfully and continuously
endeavor to be at»my post of duty
and see personally that each and
every citizen shall not have Just cause
to complain.
Public office is created to carry out
the wishes of the people, and It shall
be their interest that claims my at-
tention as an officer. As an office*
J will have no pre-conceiVed ideas as
to what particular methods shall be
carried out, except that the law touch-
ing my duty shall be strictly adhered
to, and that when It Is possible to ac-
commodate the public, I shall do so.
Greer county has been my home,
and I have resided here, fourteen
years. As a man I trust that an inves-
tigation will reveal no cause for qja-
jection to my candidacy, and I solic-
it closest scrutiny of my record as a
citizen. I have voted the democratic
ticket every chance I have had, and
believe in the doctrine of our party
and the individual citizen as the unit
of governmental power.
Whoever Is elected to this office
it goes without saying that a young
man willl discharge the duties impos-
ed upon its incumbent. No business
thrives so splendidly as that which
receives the touches of the man res-
ponsible for its upbuilding, and if
elected to this office, my entire time
will be given to your needs.
Thanking you for whatever encour-
agement you may feel like giving me
In this race, and for'your support and
otes, I am.
Respectfully,
ARTHUR HERD.

OH, YOU KELLY
Last week u very unusual thing hap-
pened at Lovett's—the Furniture
Store on <he Square. A prominent
young couple from a neighboring town
came in to buy a housekeeping outfit.
This was not his first visit to the
store, and he was taken in charge by
Mr. Jake Latham, the specialty man
cn newly-weds. This young couple
were in such a trading humor that
Jake's hand was almost stricken with
appoplexy. Before he finished with
them he showed them a Kelly Com-
for Chair; In demonstrating it, he
slid comfortably into the fluffy up-
holstering; sleep came upon his tired
soul like the soft descending visions
of a summer's night. The young peo-
ple saw the situation, and tip-toed
away. Mr. Vincent gently stole Jake's
list out of his hands and finished
waiting on the young couple. Ja'ie
says that after eating onions not to
sit in a Kelly Comfort Chair during
business hours.
Kelly Comfort Chairs are sold ex-
clusively by Lovett't Furniture Store,
on the Square, Mangum, Okla. adv.
