Card From D. B. HOrsley.

1 desire again to thank you for the kindness and honor you have shown me both as citizen and as a democrat Tn eleCtlng me to the office of Prosecuting Attorney of your district for the term end- ing October 31st, 1908. l solicit your support at the coming Sept enber election for a second term.
 l have tried to perform the duties of the office faithfully and impartially and to the best of my ability. 1 trust that my efforts have met with your approval and commendation.
 l have frequently stated that l was in favor of fair, reasonable and just enforcement of all the laws, and while this is an under taking attended with many diff culties 1t has been my policy and my endeavor. If the law is not what 1t should be the legislature should repeal or amend 1t, but officers should not be censured and found fault with for perform ing their duty in an honest effor. to enforce 1t.
 l realize that the burden and responsibility of successful en- forCement of the law rests more heavily upon the shoulders of your Prosecuting Attorney than any other officer. You look to him and expect more of him than any other officer. As a result lie becomes target for every viola tor of the law and all his sympa thlzers to shoot at. If they can- not use him they condemn and abuse him. 1 have met them, however, honorably and fearless ly in the Courts. By the assis- tance of honest, efficient aid fearless officers and supported by a public sentiment of a laWabid- ing and lawenforeing people l have successfully prosecuted most of them and have seen many of them convicted and pun ished tor crimes committed. For performing my duty l have incur red their Ill will and hatred. l cannot hope to have their favor and do my duty.
 l have been honest and busy in the discharge of my official duties. T have at all times tried to per. form the duties of ny office so as to meet with your approval .ZI have tried to represent tile whole people. All the trouble l have had has been in an effort to en- force the law against those who violate the same. They have continually attacked me by vitu- peration and misrepresentations. As the election approaches l eX- pect them to renew their attacks with more severity than ever be- fore. 1 ask you to inform your Selfs as to the truth before cen- sur1ng or voting against me. 1 am willing to be judged by the truth.
 As the general election ap- breaches, Sept. 14th, 1908, and as the Democratic party IS led by such matchless leaders as Bryan for President and Donagliey for Governor. as d democrat. 1 have no time nor reason to engage 1n controversy with members of my own party. l should like to enter the fight with all my broth CT democrats and form and pres ent one solid phalanx to the en- emy. Ii We do this, victory is ours.
 In conclusion request my friends to be watchful of my in. terests. Notify n1e of what is going OH. Those who oppose my election should be asked to give the reasons why. and in most cases, where the truth k told, you will find that they are either not i'll favor of an enforce ment of tie law or that the law has been enforced against them.
 l shall always be glad to tell you the truth about any business have transacted for you. l shall always appreciate your as sistance and good will in per forming the duties of this office.
 Assuring you of my apprecia- ton of past favors 1 tender you the best services of my life for another term. As shall be busy m the performance of my official duties from now until the elect lon l take this means of reaching you.
 Your obedient servant,
 D. E. HoRSLEY.
