II. +. Turner, we do not feel the
slightest hesitancy in saying to
the Democracy of this district
that he is equally if not better
qualified than any candidate run
ming for this office.
Elected as he was when but a
boy twenty-three years old TO the
office of Police Judge of Wick
life, he showed his merit by the
1 firm manner in which he handled
the law breakers who came be-
fore him. He was ever just N
his interpretations of the law and
melted out justice without fear
or favor. AS a proof of his far
ness only three men during his
eight years service as Police
Judge ever asked him TO vacate
l the bench. AT the time he was
elected Police Judge 1t was
; no light task before him for
Wickliffe at that time had five
saloons. During his term the
7 Illinois Central had its road bed
: changed, during which time a
1 large force of foreigners and ne
a groes were employed, and TO en-
e force the law with this class OF la
n Dor handy to these five saloons
Q required a strong man. But the
people had chosen well, seeing
e the manner in which Judge Tur-
lie ner had enforced the laws OF the
er city of Wickliffe as Police Judge,
y, the people of Ballard were glad
Id to elect him as their County At
ce torney, which office he Is now
IL filling for the second term.
OF As County Attorney Judge
or Turner has filled every require
on ment and performed every duty
OF to the entire satisfaction of the
ell best people of Ballard county,
III and to show their esteem for this
IN Just and able young lawyer more
res than fifteen hundred Democrats
'k- of Ballard county in less than
III one day signed a petition TO Gov.
OF McCreary, asking him to APP
On point Henry +. Turner, Common
lr. wealth s Attorney, at the time
Hon. ii. j. Norman was appoint
not ed. Space will not permit us 70
ry- 90 into detail as to Judge Tur'
Zen ner's record as County Attorney
nd, but we feel that we must mention
an few things he has done. With
10 in less than six weeks after he
no. began his duties as Copunty AttoI
70 ney he had instituted proceeding
the before the County Judge, ant
n.y. prosecuted violator of the Loca
GU Option Law, and succeeded u
but fines over $4,000 and twent!
Iul- days imprisonment against him
nan From that time up to now he ha
re- ever been Jealous in enforeinl
the the Local Option Laws, and h
om- does not wait for Circuit Cour
led TO meet to do so.
He is a firm believer in tn
ali Democratic principles of "Equa
eve rights TO all, and special priv
as leges to none" and this princl
on pie has been his guide III all hi
ful- official acts, and the writer ha
ION often heard him say that he 0(
nan lived the poor man who earne
un- his living by his daily toll shoul
you have tine same protection undo
for the law as the man of wealth.
BY an examination OF Tn
dge records at the court house an
- one can see that Judge Turne
stands second to none in the civ
~ practice of our county.
The Yeoman has no words |
offer against any of the othe
candidates, but we feel thu
- when the Democracy of Ballar
- county presents Henry +. Turnt
10 the rest of the voters OF IN
district that they can claim as
matter of justice the votes 10
", him from the voters OF the otht
Ilv four counties in return for III
votes we have heretofore give
their candidates and we kno'
the voters will make no mistak
in voting for him.
Now Mr.. Voter, Don't 20
think that it is Ballard county
time to have Commonwealth
Attorney" - Ballard Count
