THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD
STATES ATTORNEY.-The citizens,
without regard to politics, will admit
that good and faithful Prosecuting
Attorney is of great importance to
them in our Courts. No one can find
fault with the way PERRY A. RoHR-
BAUGH has discharged his duties
He did not go sneaking around where
he had no business, but he never finch
ed in his duty before Court or Jury.
He did not want the Office again
never made an effort to get the nomi-
nation, but the convention put him on
the ticket and the people, irrespective
of party, should ask themselves
whether he is not the right man in
the right place. He attends to his
business, is kind and accommodating
and is always ready to help along
every good cause. Besides, he un-
derstands his business and is a sharp
lawyer. He is an industrious, active
citizen, and deserving of encourage
ment. We hope the people will elect
him and our friends can do us no
greater personal favor than by voting
and working for PERRY A. RoHR-
BAUGH.
