thing wish call attenton TO- In l9uo
bovs in and about Calico Rock indicted by the grand
Of lizard county for breaking at that town.
nd am told that some parties not satisfied with the DISPOSE
ton of those cases.
Can't M Haney of Melbourne employed to assist me
in tae nroecuons and at of court after the indictments
found y tried the strongest one cases. the jury
returned verdict Guilty Now the law will not allow you
to convict party upon testimony of accompce alone that
is upon the sole testimony of partner in the me there must
be other testimony coroborae him material part OF his
evidence these principal witness was one OF
the bows who assisted crime and all these except
the one tried unable find witness who would cor
roborate this boy single material part his testimony hence
would have worst kind Of fooshness through the
form of trial of charges with hope succeeding know
np we failed the county must pay the So proposed to
the relatives these boys that if they would pay all the costs
would the and they agreed and know we made he
correct settlement these for the county, and refer you to
Capt Haney the of this statement and feel
confident that when you understand the matter fully will
clude that we did right under the circumstances
You may why asking for your support this time and
in answer question will say that the main reason is be-
cause want tho office again and the Office again because
derived from it, Perhaps you will remember
years underwent the ravages OF two desruc-
tive fires which lost than have been able to
of this Office during the past three Again. want
believe in fact know that do the bus-
the people Of the circuit better and satisfactory
them myself the future than could possibly have done
the past and takes argument to convince any thinking
experience in any line Of work business is actually
with the lawyer the Doctor the teacher the preach
mechanic farmer and with every other profession
occupation l and while feel graIed at the record have
made as your Prosecuting Attorney if reelected shall
earnest faithful effort improve that record in the u
ture
One other why am in this race is because op
posed monopoes Both Of opponents live in the good old
county of Fulton and Fulton county already has monopoly of
Offices belonging to the people of this section the state She
has Circuit Judge the Chancery Judge the Superintendent of
the Reform School, the Secretary Of the Capitol Commission, and
fact every public position 10 which oVr section Of the
entitled except the Off Of Prosecuting Attorney and two
her citizens opponents making desperate efforts get
that Office This think, should not be- for believe it bad pol
icy for all considerable mber Of public officials belonging
section Of the state to be chosen from single county
neghborhood All officials are, at least represen-
aves of people their territory and order that the people
may from their official work. such officials
should distributed much among the people Of the
territory interested.
This then; about all wish 10 say in conclusion might
remark that have tried honestly to do duty the entire
pe have made earnest effort enforce the laws Of Akan
mpariay and without being harsh anyone have tried
be kind and courteous to everybody those accused OF
crime have desired to crush simply be-
had the advantage of him. have dismissed several
against DID, decrep and young boys account Of their
health and the condition Of their families and should be e
eced this me will endeavor to execute tho law fairly and i'm
partially always tempering justice with mercy and if do
wrong shall be the side Of mercy rather than the side Of
oppression and persecution.
With best Wishes am, Your friend,
TOM HERRN.
