speedy administration of justice to
all classes.
I've believe that our local
peace officers should be sufficient to
maintain law and order in this coun-

sistance of state rangers, and believe
that the appointment by our sheriff
Of fewer and more responsible and
reputable deputies would bring
about that end.

demanding of a strict accounting Of
all matters entrusted to their care.

in Office, believing that the people
are best served by frequent changes
in public officials. .

ted, to see that those county officials
whose duty it is to do so, shall en-
deavor to bring JUSTICE to murderers
and other criminals. and not en-
deavor to protect them for political
reasons.

agement of our county affairs and
