(Atoresaid figures furnished by Elk
Recorder f. c. Smith who youches
for their correctness.)
There ore, the amount expended
dur ng any one of said years, w. L.
Haryeys term 1911 to Ia, is prob
ably more than will be expanded
for the present term of 1856
Mclaughlin s entire term.
The Chief reason for the eXcep.
tionally small expenditure, as afore,
said, for I9l5-l6, McLaughlin's term,
S due to the careful and efficie Mt
manner III which criminal prosecu-
tons have been managed
No Acquittals in 1856, McLaushIin's
Term.
In all cases prosecuted in the Dis
trcI Court, verdicts Of guilty have
been obtained and such law violaters
have been punished.
No Final Convictions 1911.14, W. l..
Harvey's Term.
From 1911 to IA no FINAL CON
VlCIlONS We're had within the Dis
trict Court for Gilmore County. A
vast amount Of money was wasted
Oh such criminal trials.
(Par. ~ No Prosecutions in 1856
McLaughlins Term
In all cases wherein the chanc es
for conviction were too remote upon
which to base a prosecution at pub
Tic expense dismissals were made
in the inferior courts and the tax
payer saved the enormous costs OF
fruitless trials.
Office Expenses
Gilmore County probably expended
a few hundred dollars more money
in any one yea Of Mr.. Harvey's ad-
minislation TO maintain such office
than was expended by the County
N 1913 to maintain such office.
Additional Work Under Tax Fore
closure Law.
The expenses TO maintain such OF
flee for 1916 viii exceed the amount
expended for 1915 for the reason that
the 1915 laws make it the duty OF the
all maturt delinquent tax sale GER
tifcates.
Mclaughlin Earns SO, 125.oo Fees for
the County
he amount Of fees earned in the
aforesaid foreclosures for the County
and which are payable to the county
will probably equal $3,125.0O.
lected Upon Recommendation and
Self Serving Statements
1t VIII be remembered that w. l..
Harvey was resident Of Gilmore
county about six months prior to his
aking charge of ssch office as Prose-
cutting ttorney.
Mclaughlin, incumbent of such
Office, has been a practicng attorney
and tax payer of Gilmore County for
the past sixteen years. His home
and all of his property interests are
here.
Some persons have seen lit TO
complain of the dismissal of several
cases heretofore referred to in para
graph II. Prosecuting Attorney Nc
Laughln dismissed no case wherein
the evidence justified a prosecution
at public expense.
Had the cases complained OF been
prosecuted, the taxpayers would now
be under an additional burden OF say
from $2,500.0O to $3,500.00, as bur-
dened in 1911-14, under Harveys adj
ministration.
The aforesaid records are hereby
submitted for the consideration OF
the electors of Gilmore County.
