To the Democratic Voters of Elm
 Springs Township.

After an absence of four years l am
 again asking you to elect me Justice of the Peace of Elm Springs Town ship, and l want to stop right now and return to you, as friends and neighbors, my heartfelt thanks for your kindness and favors shown to me in the past. Having been born and raised in this Township l naturally feel proud of my people. I know we nave very little use for Justice in this Township, as you are peaceful and abiding people, but you have to elect some one to this office, and if 1t is your pleasure to elect me l prom ise you to be ready and prepared to attend the duties of that office at all times and if you should be arraigned before me charged with an otfense, 1 would try you according to the law governing the case and the evidence produced. 1 have served you as Jus tiee at intervals in the past for ten years, and am acquainted with the duties of the office. J. c. Robertson jsmy opponent on this side of the He is at present serving his second term as your Justice, and if Is very evident that he does not un- the law as well as he use to understand the scripture before he

quit preaching to us poor sinners and debating with the other denomina- tons over the country. When 1 was Justice 1 had several cases appealed to the circuit courts and the records at town will show that not a single case was reversed from my decision, and If J. c. Robertson ever had sln- gle case taken to the circuit court that his decision was not reversed 1 never heard of it, l would not ex- press an opinion on case before 1 heard the evidence, as has been done. and any man that will encourage law sults in order to get fees is not fit to try a case and ought not to be elected Justice of the Peace. J. c. Robert son has had more cases sworn away from him than any other Justice that ever serveb the Township.
 Beware of reports that may be put out before or on the day of election. Be sure and come to the primary and vote on the 2Sth Of March. 1906, and if l should be your choice for ustice l will feel very grateful 10 you for your support and kindness towards me. Thanking you for past fayors, and praying for d continuance of the same, l am, very respectfully,

 Judge Williams says, Judge Hill takls as if he could pull the county out of debt just like farmer would take year. ling by the tail and pull It out of the mire. " That is just where our trouble is. If the county cant make Judge Williams understand hat the only way to pull the county out of debt is to adopt business methods and prae- tice rigid economy, then it would be well to elect some one that does un- derstand it, Reading the county court records of allowances just now will surely convince any one of Judge Williams liberality He seems to have said to any and to all who asked for money from the county funds. re- gardleSs of how unreasonable or how unnecessary the expenditure, Gen tlemen this money belongs to the people, help yourselves. , Another two years of thIs and nothing but a long term of high taxes and the most rigid economy will suffice to pull it out of debt.

The records show that Judge Will liams has allowed. file gally, out of the money that belongs to the several road district or townships, more than sI0.oo0. Many of the warrants are still unpaid. If the overseer of your township or district will apply to the circuit court for restraining orders, the court, following the plain law would restrain the treasurer and collector from paying out your money illegally. If no order IS asked the money you are now paying as special road tax, to work the road in your townships, will go, largely, to pay for the fine pike roads already built in the Mock Lane at Prairie Grove and elsewhere in the county.
