When I was elected to office owing to a change in the law in the manner in which the Sheriff was to be paid I had. to serve from December 1st until March the 1st without one cent of pay. I did this) cheerfully and as freely as I would I have had I. been receiving pay. I have endeavored at all times to do nvy duty as I saw it, and tried to' enforce the law impartially?many of, my friends have told me that I have] successfully done this, and I thank; them for their appreciation. I great-J ly appreciate the confidence youj showed in me by your support on last Saturday, and I wish that it was j possible for me to see each one in- [ dividually and tell you how very n-uch I really do appreciate your confidence. Now, may I ask that you not only give me your support in the second primary but see that your neighbor goes to the polls and favors me with his vote. Now in closing I wish to say that I have nothing but the highest re-j spect for each of the candidates whoi have been eliminated by the primary ( on the 7th, and hope they will kindly I remember me with their influence in the second race.
