he served in this capacity. He cited
figures and incidents to show how
he is repeatedly saving the county
money and the benefits that are de
rived because of his experience. He

obligations, and showed how» his ex

Chas. F. Brooks was the first speak
er for this office. He said he had for
merly filled the office and was no
.stranger in the county. This job I am
.seeking is a big one, he .said, but I feel
that my advantages and training pe
culiarly fit me for the place. I want to
give back to your children what I
have received, he said. He asked for a
generous c insideration of the voters
of this section in his race.
Mrs. Arthur Copeland of thi.s city,
the next speaker, did nut make a
.speech but took sufficient time to
thank her friends for their* interest
i^fwrppmrt she has had at all
times and before she entered the race.

school problems and my interest in
children, she sfid, but I do wish to
take this opportunity to thank you for
all past courtesies and your .support in
my race, she said in conclusion. At
drew a compari.son of road conditions i
today and twelve years ago when he I
assumed office. No finger of reproach
has ever been pointed at my office, he
said, and he cited the A-1 credit of
the county which is a unique distinc

county home and the care and pro
vision made for its inmates, biit that
the tax-payers of the county did not
desire a mansion or church to be erect
ed when the inmates are getting the
best of attention. He said-he had saved
the tax-payers money las the records
of his office would show and that he
shows no preference to any individu
als. He ,said he loved his county, he
loves his work and has never asked
for a raise in salary. By my experience
I am moi'e efficient today to serve you
than ever before, he said in closing.

a young man asked the voters to elect

he has always received in Clinton.
W. E. Washington, the last speaker,
expressed his thanks for the vote he
received in this race four years ago.
He told of his experience as a teacher
and farmer and of the positions of
“I’ll phone the
prescription”
H urry...hurry!..There’s not a min
ute to lo*e!...Speeding through
the harsh, cold night, it’s gcnnl to know
that the prescription has gone ahead

You realize now your dependence
upon the Druggist — the man with the
mortar and pestle and his Kmles of
prescription chemicals, compi>unding
the medicine your Doctor has pre
scribed.

I I am a courteous, honest gentleman,

i giving every part of the county a

Perhaps you haven’t realized that
it ii the sale of every-day necessities
which enables y lur Druggist to stay
in your nvighK>rhtH>l, ready to serve
you in time of sickness.
Rows and rows of the bottles in the
Druggist’s prescription nxim bear the
name “Merck”. Wherever medicinal
chemicals are used, the name of

of Doctors and Druggists as the tym-
bed of reliability, purity and strength,
