H. c. Rose Announces For County
Attorney.

Feeling that the time has now
come for an announcement,
through the press, of my candi-
dacy for County Attorney of
Morgan county, which / have
contemplated for three years, or
more, | desire at this time to set
forth a few of my reasons for
asking the Democrats to'give me
this nomination next August.
/ believe that Ihave some claim
upon the Democratic party,
based, both upon the efforts !
have made in behalf Of its nomi-
nees every year since | have been
old enough to comprehend and
appreciate the principals Of free
dom and good government, for
which it stands; and also because
of the fact that all my people on
both sides of the house have
Loyalty supported the part and
have been faithful democrats for
generations back.
f
I.have lived in Morgan county
all my life and have striven hard
to be a man and a lawyer worthy
of the peoples confidence.
have no word of censure and
have no i'll feeling whatever to-
ward those who saw At to oppose
my nomination for this Office four,
years ago. was at that time
rather a young man and had only
practiced law a few years. Since
then / have devoted my time and
what talents | possess practically
entirely to the study and the
practice of law. With these add
ed qualifications ! feel justified in
calling upon those who opposed
me then to support me now.t
To the men who so Loyalty sup
ported me in that boyhood ambi-
tion of mine, | shall ever be a
devoted friend whatever the
future may hold for me.
! desire to say toI the people
bthat if nominated and elected to
lthe important position of County
Attorney that in the performance
Eof the duties ofthat office the tax
Epayers of the county shall have
the full benefit of what experience
and ability I have gained OF
possess, and all the energy and
faithful devotion to duty and
painstaking care that it is possible
for a man to extend In looking
latter the affairs of the county.
AS a public official, / shall moi
only favor a strict and rigid en-
Eforcement of the law but from
my experience / know how this
can be done.
1t is perhaps only fair to say
THAT while l have had an ambition
for years to be elected youl
County Attorney. | am not enter
ling this race solely on my owr
motion but have been urged Il
rdo so by a very great many O
the citizens of various portions O
the county. they evidently feelin,
that if | only lacked nine .votei
of being nominated four year
ago, / can count with certaint,
on winning this time, and know
ling that if despite all probabili
ties, | should be defeated, | vii
still be a Democrat and earnestl
support the nominee.
Il desire to say further that i
obtaining this nomination l ar
relying upon the free and UT
trampled support of the plai
citizenship throughout all poi
tons of the county.
1t is my purpose as near as
J may be possible to see and tai
personally to every voter in Mo-
gan county between now and tn
4th day of August. If someor
should escape me it shall not /
my fault and | hope he will COZ
: slider this announcement a requei
: TO vote for me.
