He further pointed out that Judge Crawford allowe<| his own son a $20,000.00 attorney’s fees in one estate and appointed his son’s law firm as attorneys in another estate and allowed them $30,000. ir> fees. Southard further charges that the records in the County Court are not properly kept and reports of fees and fines collected are not made within the time required by law.

He’s North Omaha’s Famous drink mixer. that during the last 15 years, since 1925 County Judge Bryce Craw ford has never filed a single re port of fees collected, within the time required by law—some of them as much as twenty-one months late—and during the same period in many Instances, when re ports were filed, remittances were not made to the County Treasurer for almost a year afterwards. F»r instance, during the period March .list, 1926 to March 30th, 1927> he did not pay to the County Treas* urer until long afterwards any of the fees collected by him during that period. There were two oth er periods of almost a year each in which he did not pay to the County Treasurer during those periods any of the fees collected by him. On January 10th. 1935 lie owed the County $22,140.00, some of which had been collected by him as far back as April 1934 ” He further states that comm encing with July, 1937i Judge Crawford at the end of each six Consecutive quarterly periods ow ed Douglas County an average of $23,700.00 and that during this year and a half period, as South ard says: “Douglas County was in the red and unable to pay its debts. The county's credit was fjreatly im paired. Many merchants had re fused to sell to the County. An open. competitive market was therebp denied the county in the purchasing of supplies. Employ ees of the County, ever since 1936 had been, almost constantly, oblig ed to discount tiheir salary war rants at a sacrifice of from 6 to 20 per cent. County Warrants drew 6 percent interest, which the Coun ty was later obliged to pay. And yet, these enormous amounts cf fines and fees collected by Judge Crawford, which belonged to i Douglas County, were not paid to the County Treasurer until long after they were due. The County was, therefore, paying interest on its own money. If this money had been paid in by Judge Crawford as required by laW, the County could have saved this interest charge a mountiug to $2100 00 for this per iod alone.” Southard, known to the members of the Bench and Bar as a lawyer of ability and for more than 30 years in active practice, gives facts and figures taken from the public records, assumes full re sponsibility for their correctness and presents them in a convincing way at the many public meetings which he attends. He takes th® job of campaigning seriously, as he does his work, and states that he Is confident the people, If given, the facts showing the need for a change in this important office, will apply the proper remedy on November 6th.
