Republican Candidates Are
Encouraged With What
They Hear.
OLD TIME CAMPAIGNING
Candidates Are Visiting the
Voters in Their
Homes.

Rollo ]. Conley, candidate for pros
ecuting attorney, said today, II have
been all over the county and have
made speeches at many of the school
houses and have visited the voters
in their homes and talked with them
personally. From every corner of the
county the trend seems to be the same.
Each man tells me that he is disgust
ed with the county administration un
der the present Democratic gang and
is in favor of a change"
Mr.. Conley in company with Brooks
S. Hutchinson, w. H. Veuch, j. A.
Meredith, George W. Bowers and 9th.
or county Republicans have been
speaking at one or more schoOlhOuses
in the county each night for the past
two weeks. Tense meetings are all
we'll attended and Democrats as well
as Republicans come and listen care.
fully to the local issues as presented
by the speakers.
The sentiment along the voters that
the present Democratic county admin.
istration is eXtravagant and ineftci.
ent is the outcome of the practices in.
dulged in by the gang and the disre.
gard OF the rights of the taxpayers.
according to Mr.. Conley. The speech.
es made in the county by him have
not been attacks on any member OF
the opposition but have been clean
straightforward expositions of his
principles.
"A prosecuting attorney is more
than 4 lawyer who prosecutes crimi-
nails" says Mr.. Conley. HE should
be not only good and conscientious
lawyer but practical and efficient
business man. He is called upon to
advise tho county court in practically
every important matter that comes be.
fore them. When it is considered that
about 100000 is spent each year by
Marion county one can readily see
that tho prosecuting attorney has to
be u practical business lawyer as well
as diligent criminal prosecutor"
Conley and Hutchinson travel over
the county in Ford car and stop at
the farm houses on many occasions
for meals. Yesterday they stopped at
n place in Warrington district where
the farmers wife was cooking apple
butter. Both of the visitors rose TO
the opportunity and demonstrated
their practical abilities when Conley
stirred tho apple butter and Hutch.
inson rocked the baby while the farm.
er's wife cooked dinner. While en-.
gagged in this work they discussed poll.
tics with the woman's husband who
had Just returned from the field.
