Tooting Our Own Horn The writer (Commissioner Thomas A. Owens) #i commentary that appeared back some years ago, ming legislative candidates, in which Firam G. Andrews, then the tlitor of the Johnstown Democrat, advised us that we shouldn't be too modest. and certainly should take udvantage of our own news japer in support of individual political aspirations. From time ime, as the years have passed by, we've used that advice Without fear of criticism of any other candidate of either political party tolumn this week will be directed along Mr. Andrews {ime advice. The week after next there's a primary election coming along. County offices will be at stake, and nominations will be made by the major parties to appear on the general election ballot in November.
