To Whom 1t May Concern:
In view of the fact that Mr..
J. R. Wilson, candidate for pro-
scouting Attorney, is sending
out over the district circular
letter in which he charges that
his opponent, Judge j. W. Kim
bro, is not q ualified for the po-
sition, we deem it but a matter
of right and justice to state that
we have known both parties for
a number of years. We know
their qualifications and ex-
periences and do not hesitate to
say that Mr.. kjmbro is as we'll,
if not better, qualified in every
respect and has had practically
as much experience in criminal
cases as his opponent.
