Hi Henry, Manager of the famous min
strels at tbe Park Theatre Friday,
April 3rd.
To the Republican Voters of Jefferson
County.
The time draws near when you will
be called upon to make a selection
among the different aspirants who have
been from time to time presenting their
claims upon you that they may be
favored with your vote and influence at
the coming primary, April 11th.
In justice to those whom I have not
had the pleasure of meeting, as well as
In justice to myself, I deem It expedient
at this time to submit for your careful
consideration a few reasons why I
should have fair treatment at your
hands. I was born and raised in the
county. Having first saw tbe light of
day In the old "Beechwoods,'' only a
distance of four miles from my present
home.'
I have been an ardent Republican all
my life, being Bteaofast in adversity as
well as in prosperity. I might say right
here that tbe first organization of tbe
Republican party in or near this com
munity was organized in my father's
old grist mill at Rockdale Mills, Jeffer
son county. I have always stood firmly
for my friends, if they were unsuccenH
ful I was always found In lino for the
nominee.
Twenty-five years ago, when tbe coun
ty was yet in the domocratio column
and this office went begging, I was pre
vailed upon to become a candidate. I
had for my competitor my genial friend,
Tomle K. Hastings, for bis second term.
There being too many democrats and
Tomle's wonderful popularity, 1 1 waa
unable to win out. Again, fifteen years
ago, when the office was divided, there
were three candidates in the field, a
sufficiency to fill both offices. I had the
second highest vote at the primary and
had fairly won the nomination for the
second office and It was so thought by
the members of the convention, but the
ruiing chairman had taken a different
view of the situation and called another
meeting for the purpose of filling the
second office, notwithstanding the con
stitutlon and by-laws clearly define that
should a vacancy appear, it shall be
filled at tbe annual meeting.. In this
I fult that I was not fairly dealt with,
but remained loyal to the party. I have
endeavored to make a clean campaign.
No pledges, dickered with no candidate
at tbe expense of some other candidate's
interest, belong to no ring or clique,
therefore make my appeal to those who
believe Ij equal rights and a square
deal. I was a soldier in the civil war,
casting my first vote at the front.
feel that I have a just claim on every
old soldier in the county, not only the
old veteran but the son of a veteran as
well.
In conclusion I would say that if un
successful at tills time I can not expect
to be a candidate again, as I am nearing
the age limit. Permit me to add to be
ware of the fellow who insists on your
voting for any particular candidate
it is evidence that he has sold your vote
and is attempting to deliver the goods.
I shall be satisfied with tbe verdict of
tbe people. Thanking you all, I am,
Very truly,

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.
Grant Scheafnocker a Good Sheriff,
Why Not a Good Treasure! ?
Editor Star:.
My object in writing this letter is
to direct attention to the record of
Grant Scheafnocker, now sheriff, a
candidate for treasurer at the Re
publican primary, and who is, I believe,
a most worthy candidate.
That he has filled the office of
sheriff with credit to himself and to
tbe people of the county Is universally
conceded, and the records show that
his term has been exceptionally profit
able to tbe county, the amounts paid
him being over 81,200 less than those
paid his predecessor In the same length
of time, while he has collected and re
turned much more in fines and costs.
The thing that tbe people ought
to be the most Interested In is care
ful and competent handling of the
county business and this Mr. Scheaf
nocker has given to a marked degree.
He has proven himself to be cour
teous and obliging and there Is cer
talnly nothing wrong in bis now asking
the nomination for treasurer, inasmuch
as the law prohibits bis succeeding
himself In the sheriff's office, and the
policy of giving a worthy county officer
two teams in a ccunty office is univers
ally approved.
Mr. Scheafnocker was a day laborer
when elected; he has no other business
to look after, and if elected to the
treasurerBhlp be will give to that office
the Barae careful and obliging service
which has made him such a popular
sheriff.
Think It over, Mr. Voter, carefully
A vote for Scheafnocker is a vote for
good service, bestowed upon a proven
servant of the common people.
