IN REPLY.
To the Voters of Marc.hos County:


To the Voters of Mdrc.hosa County:
In his so-called platform, which in
reality is an attack on my official as
well as personal liz sgrity, my opponent,
Mr.. Warren, says that never made p
report of fees-received by me as County
Judge to the county board. That is
theoretically charge that have neg
lected duty required of me as County
Judge.
In reply permit me to say, that there
is no law, use or custom requiring such
report and there never was.
The County Judge has no right to
charge any fees to private parties in
settling up estates or guardianship,
except for copies of county court
records when demanded, and all fees
for which the county is liable, bill
must be rendered or else there is no
pay, and therefore the county board
knows to cent what it pays.
Ny opponent promises to hold county
court once month somewhere on the
western line, which he says has never
been done, and criticises me 10 neglect
ing to do something, which he says,
ought to have been done.
NV reply to that barge is. that there
is no law for holding county court for
Marathon county outside of the county
seat, and my opponent must know it,
he being a lawyer as he sdvertises him
self.
Section 2440 r. s. 1898, the only Sec
ton applying to Marathon county, reads:
"There is established in each county
county court which shall be held by
the County Judge at the county seat
of such county unless otherwise pro-
vided by law"
A term of county court held outside
of the county seat as promised by my
opponent would be null and void and
no term al ALL

in Marathon county nearly all of the

estates in the year 1908 submitted fol-
probate in county court, amounted
alone for that year to S553, S89 sc, which
is only in addition to hundreds of es
tates and guardianship then pending
to which statement Mr. Warren took
exception, saying that the estates of R
E. Parcher and j. M. Smith alone would
nearly amount to that sum, when in
truth and in fact the estate of 4. f.
Parcher deceased was not included in
that amount for the reason that pro.
ceedings had been commenced in 1907,
all of which MIR. Warren could have
easily ascertained from the record, if he
wished to make q fair statement.
All other statements of my opponent
in his many letters and communica.
tons written either as republican to
members of the republican county com.
mittee or to others without mentioning
his political status, will be found to be
of equal value when tested by truth.
Soliciting the people of Marathon
county for their support by their votes,
and requesting all my friends in every
part of the county for their active assis-
lance, l am. very respectfully,
HENRY MILLER
