and have endeatored all through
the campaign to avoid anything
of this character against any of
my opponents, or any one else.
but it seems that my present OPP
ponent and some of his friends
have seen fit to resort to such
tactics.
Now, to. begin with, / admit
letting Harrison Thompson go
home TWICE ONLY, instead of
several times as my opponent
and his sureties making afidavits
desVe you to believe, and / do
not hesitate to admit that the
law. as written in the statutes
may have not been fully COM
piled with, but am also cognizant
| of the fact that / was response
Bile for Harrison Thompson, and
he had already served more than
Ehalf of his time and was a trusty
| at the time | let him. go home.
and / do not think that justice
was robbed of much time and
that no serious damage was done
to the public.
/ am also frank to admit that
some times, and under certain
conditions, officers are loath to
be SO precise in the law, and es-
pecially when the public demand
a. different course, so ! treaty and
truly believe that most all men
have some kindly spot in their
hearts for poor unfortunates,
and surely l think Mr.. Wagner
himself. after realizing the true
facts, that Harrison Thompson's
old mother, who is now about 65
years old, and who was at the
time sick in bed with a leg and
foot swollen about three times
its normal size, not able to wait
upon herself, and with no one to
render her assistance except
three little tots of Harrison
Thompson's, (their mother being
dead), he too would undoubtly
have committed this awful act
had he been sheriff. unless, how
ever; he would choose to be diff
erent from the average official. :
Now, / did not start this leni-
ency and kindness among the
prisoners, as you will clearly see
from the above statements, and
besides those, my attention has
been called to many other in,
stances which | could make plain
to the people, but feel that it is
absolutely unnecessary. How.
ever, will call attention to an in
stance that, during last year /
think it was, a man who was
serving a fifteen yea4 sentence
for bank defaulting in the Lou
isiana Penitentiary, was permit
ted to put on citizens clothes
and go home to see his sick peo-
pie.
In conclusion, / beg to apollo
gise to the public and to any one
who may feel that he has been
drawn into this campaign issue,
but feel that | havebeen wrong
fully attacked by my opponent
and some of his friends, there
fore | think it becomes necessary
upon my part and in behalf of
my friends and for the benefit
of the voters, to At facts be
known as they have been and
are now, and am willing to leave
the matter to the people to judge
for themselves as to my official
record and that Of others, and
am sure they are fully able tol

Captain Amundsen has sent in over one
year. In June, 1911, a letter was re-
cetved which had been written in the
preceding February, but at that time
the expedition was still moving south
ward.
The Amundsen expedition to the
South Pole started out originally in
quest or the North Pole. In April 1909,
Amundsen, already famous for his dis
coveries, among them the route OF the
Northwest passage. published exhaus-
tive details Of his proposed dash.
When AmundSen left Norway on the
steamship Fran IL was announced that
he would be absent seven years.
Suddenly, upon his arrival at Madeira
some months later, the explorer decided
to join the exciting international hunt
for the South Pole. The letter received
last June had been written upon the
Fran.
Amundsen's most dangerous rival in
the dash for the South Pole was Cap
tain Scott, who headed the most per-
fectly equipped polar hunt ever sent
out.
In addition to Scott's British party a
German, Australian and q Japanese ex-
petition were headed for the same
destination.
