V. Brokaw: I believe that a man like N. P. Englin in company with Commissioner Henderson can see people in Horton, show them need of new court house and jail and get BL good many votes. Horton peopie are a big part of Brown county.

The court house is as much for them as for other citizens. If they would visit the the old shack and see how badly better quarters are needed with ample vault room for records of priceless value, they couldn't vote against. Why, all probate court records are in danger of destruction for lack of safety vaults, all deeds and records need better care. Horton is unduly prejudiced against court house improvement. It voted almost solidly against building court house 2 years ago, but I can't lose faith in Horton until citizens there turn down the need when it is fairly presented to them.

If Horton will send a committee of prominent citizens to investigate court house need I believe they will return to their people and advise them to vote for court house, I want to see Horton votes for court house, see Horton men represented om committee that has charge of court house campaign, working with committee on building plans, assisting in getting the very best court house and jail possible to build for the least money. I want to see building that will meet present and future demands. I want to see harmonious support not only from Horton, but from every section of the county. If I didn't see need I wouldn't be for 16. Let's all get together- every voter of the county- and build to honor and credit of Brown county..
