The Right Man.
It isn't very often that a busy,
progressive farmer of the caliber that
our friend, Clarence Pool, is, can be
persuaded to run for office. When
hefdoe3 consent to get out and make
the campaign for an office that needs
his services, it is up to the voters of
his district to see that he is elected.
Clarence is a candidate for state rep
resentative from Cass county on the
republican ticket, and it will show
mighty poor judgment on the part of
the electorate here if he isn't the man
that represents this county in the
next legislature. Weeping Water Re-
