best public policy to endorse and
reward faithful and efficient ser
vice from a public official in the
extension of tenure of office to a
second term for those who meri
toriously fulfill the require
ments of their trust. The hon
est and capable discharge of
duty by our public servants is
not appreciated by an electorate
unless this sentiment is so re
garded and observed. And at
this time, when the betrayal of a
public trust is so frequent as to
give rise for a demand for the
power of recalling a recreant
official, it becomes the good
judgment of an electorate to re
ward performance of duty in a
tried official by at least the en
dorsement of a second term.
In this, the Third Judicial cir
cuit, we have a prosecuting at
torney in the person of Claude!
M. Erwin, who has signally ful-!
filled the expectations of his
friends in a very capable and
successful administration of the

He enjoys the respect
confidence of his profession, J
good will and esteem of all good
citizens who know him and his
democratic manners and a gen

temperament have increased the
number of his friends and so es
tablished his popularity as an of

little doubt but that he will re
ceive the endorsement of a se

Aspirant For Sheriff.
J. F. McCuistion of this city
has been added to the Independ- >
ent’s list of aspirants for the of
fice of sheriff as may be seen
from the announcement column
and this paper takes pleasure in
presenting his claims.
Mr. McCuistion has served
with recognized ability and
courage as a deputy under Mr.
Neal. His zeal in the perform
ance of his official duty, his wil
lingness and persistence in the
following up and apprehension
of criminals have won for him
the reputation of a co.iscien
tious and successful executive
officer and would insure i:i him
as sheriff an official who would
uphold the law and fai'uifoily,
energetically perform the duties
of the trust.
He has for several years been
a prominent and trusted worker

Road Overseer of Union.
The Independent takes pleas
ure in presenting the name of
J. F. Phillips of the Island sec
tion as a candidate for road ov
erseer in this township.
Mr. Phillips is of course a
loyal Democrat and <his candida
cy is subject to the action of the
primary. He is a good clean
man, plain spoken and a new en
try in politics. Perhaps that’s
why he is so plain spoken. If
elected, he doesn’t expect to mix
politics with the building of
roads, but to apply his practi
cal knowledge as a successful
farmer along with his well
