For County Attorney

SAO ~ sA
being a candidate for reelection
at the hands of the voters of thi,
county it is proper that | should
submit to YOU an account Of my
stewardship.
1t must be remembered that at
the time | came into office that
the affairs of this county were in
an unsettled condition on account
of the recent organization of the
county and that there was a large
amount of detailed work devolv.
ing upon the County Attorneys
office such as the organization of
the various county Offices and &C
mlnlstrative departments of the
county, of which the County At
t)rney is the official advisor and
desire to call the attention of
the voters to the fact that at the
present time the different d.
partments of the county govern.
ment are we'll organized and run
ming smoothly.
Besides the detailed work in
connection with the administered.
i've offices of the county, the
County Attorney is the prosecu.-
Or OF the county and there has
been a large number Of criminal
cases mat have demanded the
attention of the County Attorney.
Out Of tWenty-one criminal cases
in the District Court. sixteen
have resulted in conviction and
five in acqulttal.
The following is the list of the
cases coming up in the District
Court during the past two years
and the results achieved in cor.
nection with these prosecutions:

feel justified in claiming that
this is a good record in view Of
the fact that statistics disclose
that over seventy-five per cent
Of the criminal prosecutions in
the United States result in &C
quittals, while this record shows
that during my administration
over seVenty-fve per cent of the
criminal cases in tie District
Court have resulted IN convic-
tlons.
In addition to the District court
Cases above mentioned | desire to
call attention to the voters that
this office has stood for the en-.
lorcement in connection with the
violation of the law regulating
the sale of Intoxicating liquors
Out of the six cases tried involv
ing the violation of the law reeu
-atlng the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors this office has secured a
conviction in every case and in
each case the party has suffered
Imprisonment or paid a substan-
tial fine into the treasury of the
county. AL Of these cases have
demanded the earnest attention
of the County Attorney. besides
MANY other minor prosecutions
which have been carried on be-
fore various justices Of the
peace of this county.
