HoLLoWAYs CLAIM ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT
In his circular announcing his bolt claim John B.
Holloway that he has close attention the business the
office and has strongly enforced the law made it clear
the people in the letter that sent to all knew my position
about4aw enforcement and it is as follows:
II stand for the enforcement of all laws, with
equal ana exact Justice to all without fear or fervor
The first essential Of civilization is law. Law and
der enforced by justice lies at the foundation of
man society but it must be based upon justice to all
alike. We are all on a common level. We are all
welded to the public good and interested in the
welfare Of our people.
II believe the proceedings of the courts should
be dispatched in busnesslke manner that, the most
rigid economy may be observed, to the
payers all unnecessary burdens.

of bemeanng poor unfortunate fellow upon whom

The rights of every citizen, rich or poor must
be respected in order to maintain the proper respect
for the law
