Why Support a Man in Office Ten Years?

Ordinarily county offices are rotated at least at four year intervals. C. L. Ely has been county attorney eight years already and isn’t satisfied yet. He still wants another term.

I pledge myself to an honest administration with law enforcement, and if my record warrants re-election, to seek it but ONCE.

I ask for your support on November 2nd.
