I have waited six years before again contesting the nomination. My special training for this office began sixteen years ago when I entered Purdue University as an engineering student. Graduating with a degree in 1922. my entire time since has been spent working at this profession. I was licensed to practice as a Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor in 1925. since which time. I have been engaged in public work throughout this community and the state. The past two years, as chief engineer in complete charge of all construction and improvement work for the Fort Wayne State School at Fort Wayne and Butlerville. my responsibilities were many and varied, extending through all lines of engineering and surveying. In view of the versitality of my training and experience. I hope, if nominated and elected, to assume a larger field of duties in the surveyors office, and assure you competent and courteous service at all times. I respectfully solicit your support at the primary. W. H. GILLIOM. Political Advt.
