have made few enemies be-
cause of certain individuals l have
arrested, as game warden of this
county. Law viOlators have been
arrested and prosecuted without fear
or favor, and this policy will be con-
tinued to the end of my term.
Since my nomination for the Of
flee of sheriff on the Progressive
ticket, some of the enemies of law
and order have undertaken to de-
feat my election by spreading false
reports and certain criticisms that
are far from the truth. 1t is nat
ural that law violators should OPP
pose my election to the office of
sheriff. but they do not give the
real reason for such opposition: a
few allege the Ostensible reason that
have neglected my duty. but the
criticism comes with i'll grace from
friends of those who have felt the
sting of prosecution for law infrac-
ton.
AS a candidate for the office of
sheriff l come before the people of
this county on the record have
made during the past three years
as county game warden, and as con-
stable of Mountain View precinct for
eight years.
In addition to the above, the Ii
luOr interests are against me be-
cause l am dry" l plead guilty to
this accusation. l am not ashamed
to assert that I am a dry" man,
and that I have been instrumental
In securing the arrest of blind pig

our law abiding citizens to read a
partial list of the convictions for
law violation during the past few
months.

He leaves as part Of his record at the yard
the launching Of the battleship Florida, the
completion OF the ''hoodoo" drydock No. 4.
and the starting OF the battleship New

In a measure the retiring admiral owed
his appointment TO the navy by President
Lincoln to tho artistic skill Of his father
two OF whose works Washington Crossing
the Delaware" and Westward Ho," were
purchased by the government TO adorn the
White House. But the pressure on the gov
eminent for money at that time, in 1854
was so great that the $4,000 needed WIS
not forthcoming, and the debt was can
celled. on March 4 Of that year President
Lincoln appointed the son Of the artist to

followed steadily.
