DISTRICT ATTORNEY-The first of
the year a number of Republicans,
including many who approved of
my efforts in the interest of the
taxpayers as State Representative
four years ago, requested me to be-
come a candidate for the office of
District Attorney, inasmuch as
there would be, in addition to the
regular duties of the criminal and
juvenile courts, new duties and
conditions confronting the office.
Among these were mentioned the
enforcement of the Prohibition
Act, and the likelihood of having
to foreclose many tax liens, partic-
u'arly those against the Southern
Pacific land grant Of nearly half
million acres in Jackson county,
amounting to about 100000.
My reply was that ] would be-
come a candidate if it were gener-
ally desired and the race could be
made without assuming special OBJ
legation to any particular individ-
ual, faction, locality or interest.
Therefore, after consulting per-
sonally or by letter with several
hundred men and women of all oc-
cupations in all parts of the counl
ty, beieving there is real desire
for my candidacy, / will be can
didate for the nomination of Dis
trict Attorney on the Republican
ticket. JOHN H. CARKlN.
