Show o - MILFORD'S CANDIDATES, s Putting all the candidates of all the parties to- . gether and "shaking 'em up," there fall to Milford, proper, candidates for the offices of Attorney, Leg- . islative Representative and Surveyor. J' Including Beaver "Bottoms," just to the north of us, and within the trade zone of Milford, from which district, nominations for short-term Commissioner I and Attorney were made, we may be said to have five local candidates. For the important position of Representative in the State Legislature, Bishop W. J. Burns has been nominated. It would be superfluous to attempt to introduce Mr. Burns to the voters of Beaver County, where he has resided so long and has such an enviable envi-able record as a public official and as a private citizen. citi-zen. But a few words emphasizing his value to the county might not be out of place. Bishop Burns, probably more than any one single person in the county, has given of his time and energy and means to help upbuild the splendid educational system which Beaver county now has. He has labored, early and late, for the advancement of the cause of education, especially in the end of the county in -which he resides, and has been eminently successful in his efforts along this line. He has served as County Commissioner and therefore knows the needs of the county as a whole. As a private citizen and business man, his character has been above reproach, and his influence and energy have always been thrown on the side of what he considered for the best good of the community and of his county. Mr. Burns should be elected by a large majority. For the office of County Attorney, Shirley S. At-kin, At-kin, the well-known local attorney, has been nominated nomi-nated by the Republicans. Mr. Atkin is a graduate of Ann Arbor Law School, filled the office of County Atorn.ey, previously, with satisfaction to the county, and has practiced law in Milford for several years, where he has many friends. Llis opponent, Russell E. Parsons, nominated on the Democratic-Progressive fusion ticket, while a resident of the "Bottoms," just north of Milford, is so well known in town as to he almost considered a local man. Mr. Parsons has received a liberal law education and is a bright, clean, likeable young man. Although on the opposite oppo-site side of the political fence from the News editor, still, fairness calls for this tribute. John C. White, another "Bottoms" man, candidate candi-date on the hybrid ticket for short-term Commissioner, Commis-sioner, might also be claimed by Milford. Mr. White is too well known to require extended mention, but suffice it to say that if Fate should decree that the Republican candidate for the same office, who is also a good man for the place, should "get left," the man from the "Bottoms" would serve the county well. For County Surveyor, M. P. Lewis, "our own .Myron," .My-ron," is a candidate. Milford people and voters from this end of the county, especially, should line up solidly for Lewis, as, aside from his personal popularity, popu-larity, Mi Lewis is a thorough and experienced surveyor sur-veyor and engineer and will make the county an A-l officer. Let's get behind Myron and shove him across h jtvi'.V. |
