Having filed with the proper ofllcer , I now announce myself a candidate for the omce of county Attorney subject to the ap proval of the republican party at the Primary election to be held Angust 16th , 1910. It Is perhaps needless for me to say : I am unalterably against the Liquor Inter , osts , I am for county option , for state and nation wide prohibition. I am a republican , but am most emphat ically for the revision of theTarff downward and lor the removal of tariff upon things essentially necessary to the comfort , health , happiness and prosperity of the citizen. My present term of olllce does not expire until January 1911 , my tlmcand ability there fore Is the property of the citizens of the county , of all political complexion ; that be. ing true I WILL NOT MAKE A CANVASS. I havenol been absent from any meeting of the board of supervisors have been on hand at ah times when called upon by county officers from the least to the highest , Includ ing Township ana School district officers ; When needed by the private citizen , either over the Phone , or in person I have been on hand by day or night , and this I will have to say at the end of my term of ofllce regardless of the results of the primary election ; if you need the county attorney , you will llncl him ot his office , not out In campaign , using your time to further his personal interests. If absent , it will be because of business , and in that event , there will be a competent lawyer in charge ot the office. I am human , and no doubt have made mistakes during my term of olllce. but I have no excuses to offer neither any appologles to make ; I have sought to discharge duty to the best of my ability from mv view point , this I will continue to do ; I will thank you for your consideration end will appreciate your support.
