TO VOTERS OF DAWSON COUNTY

Owing to sickness and the press o
work in my office, it hasbeen impossi
BILE to make campaign in supper
of my candidacy for reelection a
County Attorney. l feel, however
that in seeking reelection / shoult
in some way inform the voters concer1
ing the work that has been done an(
the results that have been accomplish
ed in the County Attorneys Office dur.
ing my incumbency, and to this enc
submit the following statement:
Since the first of January, 1917,
have conducted over $50 criminal cas-
es in the District and Judicial Courts
Sorneof these cases have ben prose-
cuted for felonies resulting In convic-
tons with sentences of Imprisonment
in the State Penitentiary. Most of
them, however, have been misdemean-
or cases disposed of in Justice Court.
Owing to the scarcity of labor result
ing from the induction into the army
of so many of our able-bodici men,
we have thought it inadvisable to i'm
prison and confne in. Jail offenders
convicted of lesser crimes and for that
reason in great majority of the Grim
ina classes disposed of in Justice
Court the offenders have been punish
ed by the imposing of fines instead of
Jail sentences. The fines thus imposed
in misdemeanor cases, which | have
handled since January, 1917, amount
to the sum of $5535.45. Bail money
forfeited by defendants in criminal
my term of office amount
to 100000 In addition to money so
recovered for the County in criminal
cases,I have recovered judgments in
Civilizations prosecuted by me in be-
half of the countyamounting to the
sum of S5299.53. The total of all re-
,overies in both civil and criminal
Eases prosecuted by me and including
oail money forfeited since January,
-917, amounts to S13,834.98.
In addition to handling of criminal
ind civil cases and the other work
which is ordinarily transacted by the
county Attorneys office in normal
lines, the Office has had a great deal
f extra work to do in connection
Nth the operation and enforcement
f the Selective Service Law and the
Induction of men into the army. AS
government Appeal Agent, and as
lember oil the Legal Advisory Board /;
have had a great amount of work
, do as advisor of the Local War ,
GARD and in looking after the in
,rests of registrants in the matter {
classification, securing of furloughs, Y
ztensions of time, etc. This work
as been taken care of by the office
ithout any extra compensation and
Thou any additional hep.
There are a number of other matersN
might report on and a number of
alters pertaining to the affairs of
e County in general which 1 had
intended to discuss with the voters
i'd here been the usual speaking
mpaign; but in brief statement,
C has this, it will be impossible to |

In the prosecution of cases and in |!
