J. O. Van Oradtd, nindiilute for
county Judtie of I'ulk cminy, Orison,
on the democrallu ti. ket, to m voled
for at the primary on tlm m veriteenth of
April, U. will mibmit I ho following
platform :
First! I will advocate good roiuls
and a fair diHtrlbution of the road tax
It in not just to collmit taxes from the
outlying district, and not lve the tax
payer his hre of the road work to
make it more convenient for him to
reach market.
Kacond: No waste of public money;
strictest economy consistent with a
good administration of county all'alrs;
a square denl, and goo4 treatment for
everyone.
Third : I will try, if nominated and
elected, to work in harmony with the
couuty commiasiooerH w fur as I think
is for the good of the people.
Fourth: Should the voters of I'olk
county decide that I am the proper per
son to fill tho office ol county jndne, 1
will give to the management of the bus
iness of the county the same energetic
aud carefal attention that 1 have given
my own business
Fifth: I believe in the direct pri
mary. I think this is one of the agen
cies in the bands of each elector to
bring the govern men t nearer to the
people, and take it out of thu "boss
rule," giving us a government of the
peopie, by the people, and fur the
people.
I will Hay in conclusion that I served
the people of this county from 18l)ft to
1002 as sheriff; and you can look into
in v record, and if found wivnting. you
can turn me down the mime as you
should any man that was un:ailliful in
his triiHt.
