Jno. A. Moore For
County Attorney,
continued from page |
the republican nomination fol-

tne OIllCe OF OOunty Attorney.
For several months l have
been urged by republicans from
every section of the county to
make this race. but have hesilat-
ed to do so, for the reason that
my time is so occupied that it
will be impossible for me to make
a canvass of the county in order
to secure the nomination.
In fact the salary of the Office
does not justify person qualified
to fillit, in making two canvasses
OF the county in order to secure
the office. But if | was so sit
uated that | could make close
canvass of the county, it would
be a pleasure to me to see and talk
to every republican in the county
and discuss with them the duties
of the county attorney. But this
is impossible, as have a crop OF
corn, tobacco and hay that must
have my attention for the neXt
two or thret We is and III ,
renders it impossible for me 10
solicit personally the votes Of he
people; my name will appear
upon the republican ballot in the
primary election as a candidate
for this Office and if | am given
.as nomination will make every
honorable effort within my power
to win in the final election.
In soliciting your vote IN this
matter, | refer you to my record
as a practicing lawyer for the
past % years; during all these
years you have been in and
around our courts and know the
extent and success of my prac-
tice. Our court dockets show
whether have been actively en-.
gagged in the practice and the
character of cases, | have had
and the degree of success | have
met with in my practice, in this
way you may know the ability of
every candidate for this office as
their practice and the actual ex-
perience th,y have mad becomes
a matter of record.
The responsibilities of the
office are such -ss ID demand a
lawyer wei learned in the law
and with actual experience in
the pra tlce.
Our county is now many thou.
sand dollars in debt, intact we
have a bonded indebtedness o.
SD coo 90, besides a floating in
debtedness OF several thousand
dollars.
Every appropriation made and
every dollar spent by our county
is paid on the advice Of the
county attorney, who by law is
made the legal adviser of every
county officer; hence it is i'm
poriant to you from financial
sand point. that your county
attorney be experienced and
learned in his profession,
In announcing my self as a
candidate for this office, be.
lieve it my duty to state as far
as possible what my course shall
be If elected. and | now promise.
that If | am nominated and
elected to this office, that | will
at all times be present when the
Fiscal Court is in session, to
advise the Magistrates upon any
questions that may come before
them.
! will stand for a strict en-
forcement Of the penal laws OF
our state, but in doing this it
will be my pleasure as well as
my DUTY, to see that every man
charged with any offense is given
a fair trial and a square deal.
A voters. you owe no man
anything, but should select can
didates because of their qualifi.
cations, and ! only ask your sup
port if you believe me as well or
better qualified to protect your
interests than any other cdndi.
