Fact is, my adult life has been devoted to delving into figures to make them Experience has put me into a position to perform my duties efficiently and proficiently, as experience has put you in a position to perform your duties efficiently and proficiently. There is no substitute for experience in any ces'ing in life. It is the truth, the whol® truth, and nothing but the truth, when I say that the question of the candidacies of my opponent and me simmers down to this: Do you want to substitute inexperience for experience in so important an office as chairman of the finance committee of Monroe County? That office is the pivot on which hinges the financial structure of Monroe County. It must be kept in perfect balance, so that all other functions in the County can be conducted in compliance with the County’s finances.
