PLAN No. 686. HE RAN FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

When he came into the community he was little known; in fact, up to the time he ran for the nomination on the Republican ticket, he was scarcely heard of, but prior to his nomination he billed the entire town. He had small boards placed at the various bridges and public places in the community with a large picture of himself, naming the office he desired to secure. He also had the telegraph poles tacked with large posters, bearing the same announcement. This publicity was so striking that it caused a great deal of comment all over the city, and when the nomination came up he secured it easily, and nomination in that county meant—the election!
