RENDERING HIS ONCE LUCRA-
TIVE LAW PRACTICE.
John Allen Fort, present solicitor
genaral Of the southwestern circuit,
and candidate for reelection in the
September primary, has issued Cir
cular letter to the voters of the cir
cult, wherein he sets forth several
reasons why he should be elected. The
letter is interesting and presents the
situation as seen by the Fort support
ers most accurately. There is no at
tempt at mud-slinging involved in
the letter, and no charges are made
against the other candidates. 1t is
merely a clean-cut, manly presenta-
ton of Solicitor Forts reasons why
he should be reelected, and reads as
follows:
ITO the Voters of the Southwestern
Circuit:

ed in court work where the duties OF

right recently l have not had an OPP
portunity to see all my friends and
discuss my candidacy with them; and

found them away on business, and the
time being short between now and
the primary; hence this letter.
81 am sure that every single voter
in this Circuit knows that l will high
w anpreciate his assistance in this
race whether have an opportunity to
SEQ him in person or not. l am also
