corded denomination by acclamation.
As the Judge of the Peoples Court,
he has filled the Office with eminent

Maj. w. s. Kennon, who was re-
nominated for Prosecuting Attorney,
is known as an able, faithful and fear

does not like "Witt Kennon" it Is be-
cause in the discharge of his duty he
has compelled them to feel the terror of
the law. During his term of Office he
has convicted greater proportion of
the number Of persons against whom
indictments were found, with less ex.
pense to the county, than was ever
done by any previous Prosecutor. He
is always on the alert to protect the
public interests and the lives and pro-
