DUTY OF EVERY CITIZEN TO

To dc Citizens of Ternon Cottntu:

To The CtizefS ef Vernon County
On Tuesday, September 4th next, at
the regular polling place in your pre-
cinct, will occur the first thorough test
of the new primary election law. By
the terms of this measure the people
have entirely within their own hands
the selection of all their servants from.
governor to coroner. IL the people
choose not wisely the misfortune is their
own. | believe it to be the duty of ev.
cry citizen to ATTEND the primary cleo.
ton ala VOTE. The most thoroughly
competent officials should be selected.
Unimportant, pretty or ill-founded criti-
cisms of candidates, usually prompted
by jealousy or malice, ought not TO dis
suade one from voting for that candi-
date whom the voter may believe TO be
best qualified. When one calls physi-
clan, hires a farmland, clerk or a
lawyer he engages the best available
man for the work in hand. Why do less

costs no more to hire poor official than
a good one-the price is the same. The
foregoing applies generally to the selec-
tion of all public officials and the follow
ing specially to the selection of your
district attorney.
The district.attorneyship should be

lawyer the county affords selected. In
many respects 1t is the most important
position in the county. 1t is ''tax-sav.
ing" or 'tax-making" depending entire
lv upon the manner in which the duties
of the Office are executed. The district
attorney should be as impartial as the
Judge upon the bench. His duties are
not alone to prosecute the guilty but al
so to protect the innocent. The people
are entitled to tie protection the law af
fords them. There is room for marked
improvement and economy in the whole
public service. | am candidate for
this important position but by no means
