Frank Blizard For Sheriff

[genealogynut]

The Courant
February 25, 1916

The annoucement of Frank Blizard of Howard township for the office of Sheriff of Elk County appears in this paper, and he asks the Republicans to support him at the August primaries.

Mr. Blizard is a young farmer of near Howard, has lived all his life in Elk County, is a son of one of the earliest pioneer families of the county, and a man of impeachable character.  He is a good, clean young man, a successful farmer and a quiet, law-abiding citizen.   That he has the material in his make-up for a splendid officer, no one doubts for a minute.

In 1908 Frank Blizzard was the Republican nominee for Sheriff, but that year the opposition swept the county and Frank went down with the rest of the ticket, and he took his medicine smilingly and without kicking.  Four years ago he stood aside for his friend, Jay Munsinger, who had long wanted the place, and now that the way appears to be clear, Frank and his many friends feel that he could properly have his inning, and he respectfully asks the support of the Republicans of Elk County at the August primaries.

He will make a general canvass of the county between now and the primaries and he hopes to meet the Republicans of every community in the county.
