What Is the Matter That John Is Not Recommended?

When the Judge of-our circuit court or any other court in the state, for thft matter has au estate to divide or a piece of land to sell, does he appoint a young clerk, optician or bus-driver, or does he appoint such men as Wm. Washburn, “Dick” Grow, Tom Crockett or Dave Worland?—Democrat. Even the enthusiastic writer In the Democrat can’t quite stand for John Carmichael. Evidently he wouldn’t care to trust John in a matter requiring any business ability. Why wouldn't a young .clerk or an optician or a bus-driver be just as capable as any. man named? They are all busines men, and have all made a success of their own affairs, not a failure among them. And they are not so young. If a man is going to show anything he should show it by the time he is 30 years of age. The fact that these clerks, this optician and this busdriver have succeeded in getting a fine start is a recommendation that Bhould attract voters. They are equal to any task involving application to duty, a high regard for the rights of others and honest and fair dealing. Now, honestly, Mr. Taxpayer, wouldn’t you trust the five republican candidates with any matter of business judgment just as quick as you would trust the five democratic candidates? If you want the best overcoat made, buy a Kuppenheimer.
