The bad ant duties for the term of twelve months. It was in the coroner's power to have assessed the county a total of but instead only was expended, which leaves to the county's credit Never before in the county's history had this economy been exhibited, and it is probable that there is no other man in the county who could duplicate the feat. Coroner Devis has demonstrated during his term of office that he is an enemy of crime, and when there is the Slightest doubt concerning any of the cases he handles the resulting investigation is minute in every respect. The result is that there has been a tendency to be less crime in the county since Coroner Davis took office thah ever before. Speaking of his determination to elimenate violence recently, Coroner Davis said "It is my intention to no longer tolerate any of the strong-arm methods which for years have been practiced by a certain rough element of tl is county.

I have mason to believe that several old soldiers who supposedly were accidentally killed by traction cars, were deliberatly and brutally murdered for their money, and it's got to be stopped." It was through the coroner's personal investigatoin and constant action that a man was airested some time ego charged with the murder of a veteran, and there is every reason to believe he will be severly punished for the crime. To bum up, Coroner Davis is the best man in the office this county ever has had. His thorough knowledge of anatomy enables him to almost instantly determine the cause of death, and this ability, eliminating the neceaity yf inquests and autopsies as it does, saves the county not a little during a term of two years. With him the office is only a side issue desired wholly because of a desire to save the people money through his superior knowledg of the requirements of the office. If you are a taxpayer and would see much of the county's money saved, then one of your duties is to cast your vote for James C.

any chance, against this man who seemingly was created soly for the duties with which the county has entrusted him. Mr. Davis, who now is 88 years old, is the son of Thadeus C. Davis, one of Leavonsworth's pioneer residents, who for many years was one of the leading undertakers in the middle west, The art of embalming and all other duties of the undertaker came natural to him, therefore, and it is not a miracle that he has built up the leading business of of the kind in Leavenworth and conducts it in an establishment the like of which only occasionally is seen anywhere. The elder Davis having been a veteran of the Civil War, it is only natural that his son in his official capacity should be well known by practically every resident of the Soldiers' Home, and he is.

There is probably not a man in the big institution who dosen't know "Jim" Davis, coroner, who always has a friendly grip in his hand and a kind word, aye, words for them. And elsewhere throughout the county does this unusual man count his friends by the thousands, men and women and people of every religious denomination, and its a man of this kind, and this kind only, Kans, Cup and the meet cup One more meet and the cup will be in their Parisa and M.
