HEARD
BY The COMMITTEE

Committee to conduct the primary
election on April 6.
am one OF the numerous candi-
dates to be voted upon at the pfi-
mary election. NThe Office to which 1
aspire, namely. that OF Prosecuting
Attorney, lis an exceediniy important
one and am sure that the results
Of the primary contest are as all i'm
portant 10 me as an individual as they
can possibly be 10 any other candi-
date. So that. considering both the
importance OF the office to which I
aspire and the Importance OF the
primary election to me from a per.
sonal point OF view. ! think that am
entitled to the same consideration in
a discussion Of the fitness or unfitness
Of the commissioners who are to hold
the election as is any other candidate.
whether he aspFes to a county, state
or national Office.
I have lived in Harrison county all
my life. am personally acquainted
with most Of the men who have been
appointed TO net as commissioners
at the coming primary election; OF
the commissioners whom ! do not
know personally I know quite a
number BY reputation; as to nearly
every one Of the remainder / have re-
liable and satisfactory information
relative to his honesty and capabillty
to discharge in efficient manner the
duties OF commissioner.
I am satisfied with these appoint
ments In my Judgment It Is not
only uncalled for, but 1t would be de-
cidedly unfair ana discourteous to
the commissioners who have been ap-
pointed to make any change in the
appointments.
Very truly yours

statement, as the News had Il this
