H H. Haynes, Democratic candi-
date for re-election as Commiss-
ioner x>f Precinct No. 4, listed
among his qualifications by experi-
ence the 38 years service in the
position plus 40 years as a farmer
and rancher.
To the query about his plans to
secure greater efficiency in the
office, Mr. Haynes answered,
“Everything I can do, as I have
always done.”
In answer to the question in
regard to the mounting deficit ex-
pense bills of the Wichita General
Hospital, he said “The hospital
should be on a budget as are other
departments of the county and do
a little planning for itself.” In
answer to questions about the fi-
nancial status of the County Farm
building for the patients at the
County Farm, above any other im-
provement in Wichita County. He
answered “No” to the question
about re-allocation of county
funds and declared he is not in
favor of expensive tax surveys
which, he said “Cost the County
$20,000 and did not. benefit the
county 30 cents.” He cited his 38
years service as commissioner as
experience in handling large sums
of money such as county funds.
J. R. Carter, incumbent in the
office of Justice of the Peace, Pre-
cinct 4 was asked what he plans
to secure greater efficiency in the
office, answered “No plan, but aim
to do my best.” He was also asked

sible is being done to enforce laws
