The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1914-06-18
your firm you lost. Everyone knows

your firm you lost. Everyone knows
this.
The same incompetence and lack of
judgment on your part caused the
county to lose $4,000 in the Pat Nc
Cabe garnishment case. You have
never shown legal qualifications suf-
ficient to understand that the payment
on this warrant can be stopped now
if you will act. The court was with
out jurisdiction but you let bunch
of Fargo collection attorneys get away
with the $4,000, and you keep the
records of this case in your Office in
the hope that the public will not find
out by inspection before the primaries.
You dared not take the appeal in
the Warren case before election day.
Any attorney Of any ability would
have disposed Of the case before now,
but you know you're licked, and you ad-
mitted to Mr.. Smallwood that you
would have to consult Mr.. Green on
the appeal because you didn't know
appellate procedure. The Warren
case involved the public schools of this
county. The question was public.
The cause could have been advanced on
the Supreme Court calendar the same
as the Stanley court house injunction
case. Did you do it? Not on your
life you didn't! m.N
You told Smallwood that it would
take you a month to correct the trans
cript and you know that the transcript
didn't need correction and if it did it
could have been corrected by you by
two evenings additional effort, and
you know that most of your offers of
proof upon which you rely in this
case were written out by you and filed
with the clerk. W.
Do your own written offers of proof
need revision? If they do we take
it for granted that you will blame it
on Carroll.
You say the number of cases started
by you without proper investigation
before the issuance of a warrant and
dismissed without proper investigation
before the issuance of a warrant and
dismissed are no greater than under
other States Attorneys.
Man, alive do you realize that other
States Attorneys looked after the
old county of Ward-an empire beside
what you now make so much fuss
about, and don't you further realize
that other States Attorneys tried five
times as many cases as you and three
times as many cases as any other
three counties in the state combined?
You boiler about fifty-two old cases
incumbering the records that
were not tried because witnesses died
or were out of the state? It only took
you few minutes to dispose of these.
You didn't try but three or four of
them and these you lost when the 9TH
er attorneys ahead of you had won
them.
You lost the Titanic pig case, be-
cause of your incompetence, and you
never found time to argue the Kahel-
lex case in the Supreme Court, but
left it to the Attorney General when
the, Attorney General knew nothing
of the trial and allowed the case to
slip through court on a misunder-
standing of the record.
No, Mr.. Nestos, we have not, and do
not sell our support to Tom, Dick nor
Harry, and we do not support incom-
petent men.
That's why we are not supporting
you. .
You see we know your record. You
may shift, and duck and dodge, write
misleading news items for dailies
blowing about your great and eternal
prowess, and carefully concealing your
multitudinous mistakes, and maybe
you can fool some of the people all
the time, all Of the people some of the
time, but you can't fool all of the
people all of the time, and put this
down in your bean-you can't fool US
any of the time because we now and
then have an opportunity of seeing
you perform in public
