NO LET-UP ON INSURANCE.
Jerome Nominators Upset Osborne's
Recent Statements.

AS if in absolute contradiction OF James W.
Dsborne's efforts to show that District Attorney
Jerome in his campaign for reelection was re-
ceivIng the aid of the insurance officials IN con-
sideration of letting them down. a circular
viii be sent to every registered voter to-day
bearing the heading:
wanted-A District Attorney who will follow
I'D the insurance embezZlers.
The circular is being sent out by the Jerome
roninators the body of men among whom Mt
Osborne found the various lawyers and COUNSEL
Tors of many prominent insurance men. gather
ing therefrom the idea that Mr.. Jerome was
under the influence Of the insurance ring. 1t
SAYS among other things:

When all this is taken into consideration, with a
IN the Office of District Attorney the miscarriage or
justice is almost certain.
District Attorney Jerome IN his endeavors to
bring to justice. not only petty criminals. but men
in high walks of life, with great financial backing
and political influence, has not found his office a
bed of roses. He has been handicapped and ham
pered in the discharge Of his duty all sides, and
when he has been able bring the offenders TO
punishment the cry of persecution has been
raised by those interested in shielding the guilty,
and minimizing the work of the Prosecutor.
Let the thinking voters Of this city stand together
and put their shoulders to the wheel, and the re-
election of Mr.. Jerome Will be certain, and the
bosses will receive a rebuke they will profit by.
The work of the Mayor is done in the open, but
guilty work in the office of the District Attorney
may done in secret, and hid clear away in pigeon
hoes If streets not we'll cleaned, or the
Police Department derelict in duty, public opinion
is quickly aroused and remedy is found. but with
g corrupt man in the Office Of District Attorney
Justice can miscarrv and there is redress.
Let the voters who carry life insurance policies,
and their wives who have aided them in paying
heavy premiums, remember how their earnings have
been squan1ered and wasted, if not actually stolen
and let them remember that with man less fear
less and upright in the office of District Attorney
the prospects for punishment Of the guilty would
be very remote. This fact should come right home
10 every voter He has the opportunity to
retaliate, and he should leave stone untuTned
70 accomplish the final result of placing a man in
the Office of District Attorney who Will bring these
guilty the bar of Justice.
