The HoltonRecorder, Jackson County, Thursday, June 21, 1900 June 21, 1900
R.J. Orr.
Mr. R.J. ORR, one of the five gentlemen asking for the Republican nomination for
district clerk was born in Iowa 34 years ago and was brought to Kansas by his
parents in 1867. He lived in Jefferson county until 1889, since when he has been
a citizen of Jackson. He was raised on a farm and has lived in Grant, Jefferson
and Garfield townships. He taught school in Straight Creek township for two
winters. Some three or four years ago he was thrown from a horse and his
shoulder injured. After his apparent recovery from the result of this accident,
rheumatism enused and rendered him incapacitated for farm work and he commenced
the study of law with Hon J.S. Hopkins, and was last January admitted to the
bar. Mr. Orr has alway been a zealous Republican but has never before been a
candidate for political office. If nominated and elected The Recorder believes
that he will conscientiously labor to perform his duties to the very best of his
ability.
