July 14. m_ For Railroad Commissioner, [From Fair Cold Newa aod Herald, May 9, i?oi ) Edltor Newa and Herald t The office of Railroad Commissioner is one of great responsibility and it is high ly important that it ba filled with the right man. A Railroad Commissioner should be possessed of a broad and libe ral mind, trained in business grooves, whetted and ehrrpened by friction with every-day business transactions. He should bo a man of sufficient moral cour age to enforce his views tn the interest of publio safety as well as public welfare, and at the same time not ignore the just interests of railroad corporations. He should have had a measure of success In the conduct of hie own business before entering on the heavy duties connected with thio office. A man who meeta all these requirements la Hon. John G. Wo Hin sr. whom candidacy for Railroad S>mmf??loner we most heartily endorse, r. W?lling is now in the prime of life. He is one of the County's largest and most successful Carmen. He Is a public spirited man, as la shown by bis great Interest in the school of his community, the session of whioh has often been ex tended by his contributions. He la de servedly popular tn his own community, having received 149 out of the 160 oast st his borne box in 1000. He Is also very popular in the County, having twice heeded the ticket for the Houae of Repreo -itatlves. Then, too, Mr. W?ll ing bat. had aeven years experience In practical railroading, having been a ma chinist by trade, serving in the capacity of a locomotive engineer. In aakl: ? you to anpport him we feel sure that wherever he may be he will be found to be a man of the highest type of Chriatian character, whose reputation ia unsullied, whose ability ia unquestioned; and whose peculiar fitness for the office be seeks is recognised by many, many citizens of Falrfleld county.
