Mr.. Peach Endorsed for State
Attorney.

To the Editor of the Prince Georges
Enquirer
Dear Sir.
The announcement by the Hon. S.
Marvin Peach of his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for States At
torney of Prince Georges County at
fords me unusual pleasure.
The office of States Attorney is a
peculiar and exacting one which can be
properly administered only by zone
possessing superior legal ability, un-
swerving loyalty to the public good. a
keen sense of justice and a capacity
for hard work.
These qualifications Mr.. Peach un-
questionably possesses in an unusual
degree, and it is these virtues together
with his personality and unfailing
courtesy which have endeared him to
every member of the bar of Prince
Georges County and won for him the
respect and esteem of all who know
him.
Mr.. Peach has always been loyal
and consistent Democrat, working
zealonsly for the success of the party
and if nominated would undoubtedly
command that loyal and united support
which would insure his own election
and greatly enhance the chances of gen.
eral Democratic success throughout
the County.
If elected every citizen may safely
trust that the dignity and sovereignty
of the law will be upheld and violations
thereof vigorously prosecuted without
fear or favor; while no one, however
humble, need fear that the powers OF
his Office would ever be prostituted to
any act of injustice or oppression.
AS a member of the bar, and as one
deeply interested in the welfare and
good government of the County. and
in the success of the Democratic party,
I heartily endorse his candidacy and
ask for him general support .at the
coming Primaries.
Very respectfully,
June End, 1915 JAMES G. Boss, JR.
