Chas. T. Woolum
Makes Tax Commissioner Race

In making my appeal to the voters of Knox County, I feel it only fair to
inform each and everyone of my qualifications, to enable you to make an
intelligent selection of a candidate to make an efficient and capable
Tax Commissioner for the next four years. This all-important office
should be filled by a qualified man, interested in the welfare and
progress of our fine county. 
Consider my qualifications, having been educated as a school teacher,
taught 13 years, as a miner and farmer, having spent most of my life in
these honorable professions. Consider the fact that I was born and
raised in the county, the son of Dave Woolum of Brush Creek.
I walked through the mud of Knox County to receive an education at
Artemus High School, a distance of 13 miles a day. 

My higher education was received at Union College, where I worked to pay
my tuition. My experience in various fields, my knowledge of Knox County
property should make me qualified to honorably fill the office which I seek. 

One of my opponents has held the office of Magistrate and the other has
held the Tax Commissioner's office for 12 years. I have never before
sought public office. Give a new man a chance to serve you well. 

I have no intentions of withdrawing from this race. I will run to win.
Third name on Ballot. 

 CHARLES T. WOOLUM
