FOR SHERIFF
THEODORE PORTTEUS FOR SHERIFF HAS MADE GOOD.
A Man Who Believes a Public Office a Public Trust Has Made a Model Sheriff.
At the coming election the people of Marion county will have an opportunity to cast their votes for the election of a man whom they think is the best fitted and qualified to man-j age and supervise the duties of the office of sheriff.
It is plainly seen that the sheriff’s office has many duties and large responsibilities. and for this reason the taxpayers should s^e to it that this office is kept in the hands of an honest. trustworthy and efficient servant. If the people are not willing to nominate a man whom they have already found and know' to be “tried and true to their interests,’’ then they will be remiss in their duty to themselves. Mr. Portteus is 54 years of age, and
was born in Franklin county, Indiana, July 24, 1859. After leaving the farm he clerked in a hardware store for two years. After becoming a traveling salesman he moved to Indianapolis in 1885, where he has lived ever since. He is a member of the Indiana and Old Hickory Democratic Clubs, as well as a member of the F. and A. M., I. O. O. F., K. of P., Moose, Buffalo and other fraternal organizations. He was elected to the city council from the ninth ward in November, 1905, notwithstanding the ward was strongly Republican, and served throughout the years of 1906 to 1909 with credit to himself and his party. When Mr. Portteus was candidate for sheriff two years ago the Indianapolis News said: “Theodore Portteus was a member of the city council until he became deputy sheriff and was one of the few members of the council against whom no charge w8s ever made of crookedness or questionable practices. He came through with a clean record.” Mr. Portteus, since his election, has been the real sheriff of Marion county. He is the first sheriff in the history of the county who has given his undivided attention to the management and supervision of the business of this office. After the election of Mr. Portteus as sheriff the State Board of Accounts examined the books in the sheriff’s office for the four years that he acted as chief deputy, and found that all the money collected by him had been properly accounted for and turned over to the county treasurer. Business in the sheriff's office has been kept up to date, and everybody with business to transact has had prompt, careful and courteous attention. Mr. Portteus has employed more deputies and h^s paid them larger salaries than any other sheriff in Marion county. Mr. Portteus has employed a corps of deputies who have been trained to his own ideals of efficiency, exactness and conscientiousness in the performance of their duties. The jail has been kept clean, sanitary and free from vermin. The clothing of the prisoners is disinfected in an apparatus installed by the sheriff. —Adv.
