ther or not those candidates are qual-
ified to perform the duties inherent
in the office of County Clerk. I wish
te submit for your consideration that
I have had nine years of teaching ex-
perience In the public schools at Tex-
as. Eight of these years were spent
In consecutive tenure at Pettit 8chool
hi Comanche County. I feel that the
training which naturally comes from
the duties of school teaching has gone
far la preparing me for the duties
which will naturally fall my lot as
County Clerk. In addition 1 have had
tyro yuan of experience in private
business which I feel has added to
my ability to most and deal with the
public in a satisfactory manner.
Fourth, I think that you ae voters

pissing my plea for your considera-
tion on the basis of need alone. 1
think that in cheoeing a public offi-
cial efficiency aad ability to do the

erytjilng else bring equal, however, I
would ash you to consider the qnes-
tiee of need.
