WOODS For Re-election to a Second Term as COUNTY CLERK When a wise employee trains a man for four years, he does not thoughtlessly throw that man out of a job, and hire another whom he must train all over again. The taxpayers of McHenry County are the employers who must choose their county officials and they have trained Raymond D. Woods for this important office of County Clerk. McHenry County Board ©f Supervisors doubtlesa had this same thought in mind when they endorsed Raymond D. Woods for reelection to a second term* This endorsement is as follows: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: "We, the undersigned members of the Bonrd of Superof McHenry County, iHinois. in appreciation of the efficient and courteous services of Raymond D. Woods,, County Clerk and ex-officio Clerk of the Board during this his first term as said Clerk, hereby endorse him for re-nomination and re-election for a second term." Signed-- J. E.^HARRISON, Supervisor, Greenwood Township. Chairman of the County Board. L. A. STCCKWELL, Supervisor, Riley Township. D. M. WRIGHT, Supervisor, Marengo Township. C. M. PALMER, Supervisor, Dunham Township. J. G. STEVENS, Supervisor, Richmond Township. r H. M. TURNER, Superv isor, Hebron Township. P. F. ROSENTHAL, Asst. Supervisor, Algonquin Township. ' A. H.

BROWN, Supervisor, Dorr Township. E. C. HUGHES, Supervisor, Hart land Township. Seventeen of the nineteen members of the Board have personally signed this endorsement, the original of which is ene of Mr. Woods' proudest possessions. The other two members are active in Democratic politics, for which reason their names do not appear on the above endorsement. The supervisors of the several townships come into almost daily contact with the County Clerk's office and there is no group of people who know better than they whether the Ovinty Clerk is efficient, courteous and worthy of reelection. They have given Raymond D. Woods their honest and sincere endorsement for re-election. The foregoing article ordered and published by friends and supporters of Raymond D.

In the past there has been too much consideration for the privileged few--and too little for the rank and file of Our people. My platform as I come before you is based on my experience of more than twenty-five years of practice in the courts of our land. My administration of the office of County Judge, if elected to serve you, will be grounded on the foundation of-- Fair and unbiased dispensation of justice to all, irrespective of wealth, station, creed, race or influence. Thb rich and poor, the high and the low, will always be .accorded the same fairness when appearing in my court. Nothing will govern my acts-as County Judge save the law and the facts presented in each case coming beforo me. No influence will be allowed to sway or in any qi«nner determine the administration of genuine justice. ' If elected your County Judge I shall consider the kontf a cacred trust reposed in me by the people to the end that justice shall be served for all concerned. My duties as a public servant will be discharged with due diligence, mindful of tfie confidence reposed fan me as your public servant. ~ s , The office will be conducted by me economically, avoiding unnecessary expense to the taxpayers. All litigaate aat their lawyers will at all times receive proper eonsiderttMn. My aim at all times will be to be just in the cbscfcarf* of my duties. The Democratic Party presents V1M o£ capable can4M*lt§ for the various offices at the coming primary. I viU be glad to support the choices of the Democratic voters at the November election. I take this opportunity to thank my many friends ani< the citizens of McHenry County for their khutnees 1 loyalty in the past, assuring them that my electi«r4e the County Judgeship will be regarded as a mandate nw the people to bring about a new order of justice that will reflect great credit on our community and satisfaction to the dtirann of Mjt^lgnry County. mAtti.ieg £.
