whatever morality may be attained

of a circular letter which they have

same time exercising the most
rigid economy possible. A public
servant for eight years, with in
Vulnerable opportunities to legiti-
mately swell his purse at public
expense, James d. Pitcher is today
a poor man and one whom friends
and foes alike respect and signally
credit as one who cannot be ap-
preached with any proposition that
is colored with the suspicion of
graft, A man morally clean, one
who uses neither liquor nor tobacco
and one who has never been seen
to play "a game of cards in saloon
or take a drink, he lives a life so
far superior to those lived by these
hypocrites of defamitory
circular fame that to attempt u
is an insult to decency.
The people of this district must
know that man who has occupied
the position of public prosecutor
for eight years, necessarily has Il
great many enemies among the
criminal classes and Pitcher is the
man who is proud of the enemies
he has made as well as the loyal
friends who support him. The cir
cular assault of his defamers will
