Jones for Prosecuting Attorney

In last weeks MINER there was given
a write-up of each of the Republican
candidates for county Office, with the
exception of one-E. l. Jones, candi-
date for prosecuting attorney. The
omission was not because The MINER
does not approve of his candidacy-on
the contrary, it will vigorously support
him-but simply on account of re-
GREETED oversight in listing the candi-
dates.
Mr.. Jones is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan law school. He has
been engaged in active practice in New
port the past four years as member
of the firm Of Rogers & Jones. He is

confidence in him and his ability in the
past by choosing him for mayor and at
the present time he is city attorney.
