JUDGE NAPLES CONFIDENT
 OF SUCCESS.

Judge J. S Naples, after mak- ing partial canvass of the diff erent counties of his district and receiving numerous letters and reports from all sections, feels assured of his re-nomination. Starting as struggling youth with an ambition To gain q foot ing. Judge Naples has made good oat of office and in office He k not brilliant and shoWA.bat =is honest, sober. truthful, faithful, pnnetial and energetic.
 In hnn is foHnd q man of rare judgment and fine discretion. who doesn 1 care for display and high sounding trumRets, but who is devoted strictly 10 business. His devotion 10 duty, friends and the best interests ot society las never been 4Hes toned by friend or foe
 Holding office makes no=change n him. when Ill office he coHs siders himseli and he is the servant of hlS people. He has hoHored s3eon>t5taenls and ee= fIeeted eredi1=apon every offa4. he has held-As County Judge ol Carroll county Zhe held that the County Judge HHlst properly manage tile finances and.othef a.fams=ef tfTt.eoaHfs. anEanIess =tlli, #done.-the efforts of tfe eiHe tolr@aad all the officers to= eosfs=fo h. taxpayers might Z6e t6Wafted. and fHe poor judgment and mismanagement of the county judge would be responsible for q depleted county treasury
 He was equal to the emerg ency. This county was and had long been heavily in debt owing between S4Q0e0 and S30.090 County warrants We're worth from 15 to 4o cents on the dollar At the close of his four years as county judge, the indebtedness had been reduced to about Slo.- 900.
 As q prosecuting attorney, he was not harsh. cruel or insulting but was kind attentive, Figilant> firm, vigorous and strong ill prosecuting. He was especially 50 in the graver felony charges. The record he made in the prose cution of, and convictions had for the grave crime of perjury has not been equalled i'll this district before nor since hls term. On the liquor question his policy Was to file affidaylts against all who had Government license to retail liquor, and let the search warrants, as far as could be, issue from the circuit court. seize and burn the liquor as fast as they got 1t in. This he did. And again his judg- ment was good, for the records will show that he got more men out of this unlawful business than had been gotten out before or since, and his opinion now ls that this is the only way to sue cessfully clean the district of the illegal sale of liquor.
 As a court, the rich, the poor, the high, the low, the corporate and individual interests have each had honest, just and fair treatment at his hands as God has given him the light to see the right. He has never believed in the severest punishment ex- eept for the hardened criminal. but does believe in the certainty of the enforcement of the law. lis course las ever been 10 make the fine light for the first of fense. and if felony. to fix tic lowest penalty.
 All who know him, know that his first and last thought, when boy is convicted, is 10 do the thing that will amend and save lhe boy. That in passing upon hundreds of intricate questions. he has at times erred in jnde-
 aent h. does not deny. He re- grets mistake, but bravely ad- mits 1t when 1t is his. Washing
