Note: For Public Weigher

The Journal is authorized to announce Ernst Knigge as a candidate for re-election to the office of Public Weigher, Precinct No. 1 and 7, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries in July. [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, July 25, 1918]

Ernest Knigge For Public Weigher

The present incumbent of the office of public weigher for precincts one and seven, with yard at La Grange, again presents his candidacy for re-election to the office of public weigher. Ernst Knigge has maintained the good will and respect of the cotton grower with whom he has had to deal considerably in the time of his official life, and herewith asks for the further consideration of his candidacy for re-election. He seeks the nomination on the democratic ticket, and asks that the voters give their endorsement by making his nomination unanimous at the July primaries. If re-elected, he will remain the same accommodating public weigher which has made his friends and supporters generally give their endorsement to his efforts in the past. [The La Grange Journal, Thursday, June 24, 1920]
