A FAIR ELECTION.

The election last week passed off
very quietly here. So far no charg-
es of fraud have been made In this
county. or so far as we can learn,
anywhere in the state. In this coun-
ty anly a small per cent. OF the
names were stricken from the reg
istration books and all qualified
electors were allowed to vote. At
several of the precincts in this
county, votes. were challenged and
when they were the ballots were
nut in an envelop with the sworn
statement of the voters. These were
not counted at the precincts but
put in the boxes and brought to
Brandon. When the election COM
mitt3e met Wednesday following
the election, the contested votes
were counted and most OF them
admitted.
The management of the primary
was very fair to all concerned. No
candidate should feel misused over
the vote he received The people
have expressed their choice, so be

any one of the aspirants but what
we have to say is for one of the

have had no assistance, except from
good friends over the district, who,
manifesting a personal interest in
me. have been active in my behalf.
This large vote has come to me
mainly because of my promise to
the people to exert myself to re-
duce the cost of holding courts. /
believe in the dignity of labor, and
in the value of economy in public
service. By making the necessary
exertion to acquaint myself with
the details of each reported viola
ton Of the law, [ propose to reduce
the expense Of handling the case SO
that the wrong done to the county
in using the money to try the Grim
inal will not be greater than the
crime itself. 1Phis is my platform,
and promise to exert myself to re-
duce expenses in the following par
ticulars:
1 Jurors and bailiffs and special
deputies receive $500 per day each.
There are 90 grand jurors. "a petit
~, 10 n
special deputies, making a total of
60 to 20 men who are taken from
their own business and paid by the
county This expense alone runs
from $4,000 to $4,000 per day I
promise to have the state docket
in such shape as to keep these men
away from their homes and around
the court as few days each court
as possible.
2. I propose to have violators of
the law and the attorneys who rep
resent them to understand that the
state is ready for trial when the
cases are called, and thus save the
expense of having state witnesses
kept at court and the court itself
prolonged with its heavy expense
of jurors, bailiffs and witnesses.
3. On the first day of each term
of court, / promise to examine the
witnesses for the state in all cases
and find out what indictments can
be sustained and discharge the wit
nesses in those cases wherein there
seems to be no proof to sustain the
charge. In this manner, an investi

in the trial Of every case | shall
strive to bring out the real facts
and develop the truth, whether it
leads to conviction or acquittal.
5. In the drawing of indictments,
| / propose to follow the most APP
proved forms, and thus save the
enormous expense of preparing for
trials which never take place.
