D. Hays, who is a candidate for Pros
ecuting Attorney. Mr.. Hays is a
learned young lawyer who is we'll
known to the people of this county.
y few months ago he embarked in the
newspaper business, but that business
does not suit him and he wants to get
into an Office where ne can prosecute
Democrats who go wrong. instead of
having to content himself with roast
ing them through Il newspaper. Ed is
a good fellow and # elected he will
makea splendid Prosecuting Attorney.
and he will prove IA wholly terror to

If the Democrats could elect Dick
Hines to the prosecuting attorneys
otficefor another term, they would have
no show two years from now to elect
a man in the county. Dick has been
sending four or five Democrats to the
~penitentiary every term of the Circuit
Court, and two years moro in Office he
would reduce the Democratic vote in
the county so the Democrats would
not have a ghost of a show at the
election.
