April 12, 1912 Daily Independent, Chippewa FallsPeter McCann has decided to be a candidate on Democratic ticket. It maybe that another McCann will hold down the office of sheriff of Chippewa County the coming two years. Peter McCann present under sheriff and a brother of Sheriff Henry McCann has been urged to make the run for the Democratic nomination and and has decided to do so. Mr. McCann is well known through out the County and has certainly received mighty fine instruction as to the duties of the office to which he aspires. He is under-sherifff and has seen his brother, the sheriff give Chippewa Countythe best administration of the office that it has ever had. Not only are the duties of that importantposition promptly and properly executed but the jail and grounds are all kept in the best of condition clean and neat in every way. If Peter McCann is nominated and elected he will have to go some to improve on what his brother has done but with his instruction and experience he ought to be just as good, and a Sheriff as good as Henry McCann is good enough for Chippewa County or any other County.
