The Holton Signal Jackson County Thursday July 29, 1922 Judd Boyce. Judd BOYCE is a candidate for the nomination on the Democratic ticket to the office of sheriff. Mr. Boyce is one of Jackson county's wide awake and progressive farmers. He was one of the first to enter into the race on the Democratic ticket. His work on the farm has prevented him from making as general a canvass as he would have liked to make but everywhere he is known he has a host of supporters who are for him and are boosting for him. Mr. Boyce is industrious, energetic and ambitious in his work on the farm and if elected to the office to which he aspires will bring to it the same energy and executive ability that has made his farm one of the successful ones of the county. Mr. Boyce possesses also a high regard for the honest and strict enforcement of the law and would at all times seek to aid in its enforcement. He is spoken of by his neighbors as a good neighbor, a fine Christian gentleman, and a man of ideals. He stands for the best in the community life and is always ready to get behind any program looking toward the good of his community. Mr. Boyce would make a good officer, a dependable officer, and efficient officer, and an efficient and thorough official. He will appreciate the support of his friends to the fullest extent at Tuesday's primary and if chosen by his party to be its candidate this fall will put forth his best efforts in the race.
