NELSEN AND RAMSAY FOR COMMISSIONERS ING COUNTY has seldom had the opportunity to vote for county commissioners of such substantial types as Herman Nelsen in the South district and Claude C. Ramsay in the City district. Both present a refreshing departure from the profes- sional politician, Each has been a success in private life, {Ramsay as a merchant and real estate man, and Nelsen oger as a farmer. Nelsen never ran for or held office before | Ramsay's politics has been limited to one term in the leg- islature of 1907. Neither Ramsay or Nelsen has been induced to make} the race because of the salary of $2,000 a year attached to the office. Each has been making, and is capable of making, considerably more than that in his own private} line of endeavor. But it has been plainly evident for several years that} the affairs of the county have been entrusted to irrespon- | sibles who have played political football with the public | funds, The county commissioners spend as much, or more, money than the city. They spend a million dollars a} lyear for roads aloné, Every penny comes out of the |people, by taxation, | To the average citizen, the county commission is of |far more importance than many of the higher offices, |such as senator or representative. But, in the past, we jhave been too far carried by the glamor of the high office to give sufficient attention to the important offices. jAsa result, the types of Hamilton, Lou and Pete Smith, and others bre spending the county's money with a reckless abandon | that has often shocked the community. | It will relieve the county from such irresponsibles if} | Nelsen and Ramsay are elected. Neither has any axe to} |grind. Neither has political debts to pay. BOTH ARE FREE TO DO THEIR BEST FOR KING COUNTY.
