VIII break the county up II IL
has to foot the bill. If elected
| will only use two or three men
when needed to keep the priso-
ners from running at large and
getting away, and to wait on the
Jail and courts; will pay them
out of my own money and will
not sue the county for $4,000 or
$800.00 to pay them with.
9 Because the records show
that he has already drawn of
the peoples money over $4,000. 90;
that he will have a claim for the
balance Of the years 1912 and
1918 for about S2000.00 more;
that he gets more than 100000
in addition to this for felony and
other charges making in all more
than $4,000 for the term, which
is about as much as both the
county Judge and county attor-
ney gets, even after their sala-
ries have been raised. And be-
cause if | am elected | will do
the business Of the office as we'll
as he has done it for $25O0.00,
which will be a saving of at least
100000 for the people. Under
the new statute this office will
pay him next time about $4,000.
90 the way he has charged this
term, which would make at
least SIS, 10000 for two terms
too much money for one man.
| can save the people $5000.00 if
they will elect me.
10 Because he charged to,
and tried to make the county pay
so cents each time he turned the
shackel key on prisoners when
there was no law for such thing.
If elected | will never make any
such unlawful charges against
the taxpayers Of the county.
IL Because he has been char
ging 81 per day for attending
special trials held by the county
judge in his Office, and 81 per day
for furnishing fuel and lights
for these courts. when in fact the
county is furnishing its own
heat and lights with gas. There
is no law for these charges.-snd
if | am elected | will let the peo-
pie keep this money in their
pockets and not try to squeeze it
from them.
IL Because every formal
claim he has ever presented to
the Fiscal Court has been so ex-
orbitant and unreasonable that
nearly every one Of them has
been cut from $1,000 to $4,000
before the court would allow
them. If | am elected | will
never try to make the taxpayers
pay me more than they owe me.
Is Because he used the jury
rooms Of the court house to play
cards in, playing cards himself
with various men in these rooms
while the taxpayers paid for the
lights which they played by. If.
| am elected l will not do this
thing myself or allow any depu-
ty jailer or any other man to
throw a card in these rooms, nor
will this kind of thing cost the
county one cent for lights.
ii Because this Office belongs
to the taxpayers of Morgan
county, and they have a right to
vote for the man who will serve
them to their best interests.
10 Because if | am elected
will not be a candidate for re.
election next time, but will let
some other good man make the
race and Twill not be in his way.
! | now ask the voters of this
3 county to read this carefully and
keep this hand bill to remind me
of my promises which | now
make sacred.
Soliciting your support and
promising you to be faithful and
true to my promise, | beg to be
your loyal and devoted friend.
GEO. w. STACY.
P. S, Remember that my name
is on the third line under the
words, For Jailer." Let me
ask you to look on the top of this
! bill and on the ballot when you
go to vote, which is very impor
tant if | am to be elected.
