Every four years, voters turn out to elect a sheriff in Cecil County. The race for that position has historically drawn some of the greatest interest and as elections near politicking often becomes intense. Here is a picture from a campaign of some fifty years ago. In the undated photo, Nathan “Juicy” Kaplan, a former Maryland State Trooper, is out working to get votes. He was first elected to the top law enforcement post in 1950, serving for 8 years. He is apparently once again seeking the office as a political advertisement ask voters to return experienced law enforcement to Cecil County. He is with Marvin Mandel, who served as the Governor of Maryland beginning in 1969. Before that Mandel served in the legislature as the speaker of the house.
