 Are we as Americans imnued with the
 spirit of fairplay going to allow our
 selves and our judgment to be swayed
 by a few politicians who would it ap-
 pears, resort to the practices of medieval
 times when for a man to be accused of
 wrong doing meant his undoing? Be
 it known that grand juries are not in
 fallible. Many a man has been indicted by grand ju~es for heinous crimes and
 upon trial has been acquitted and ex- onerated
 It is an easy matter to assail a man s character aD6 his motives and ofttimes is done for political expediency. No man is perfect and no man who ever amounts
 to anything but makes some mistakes Whatever may be his faults in the matter he is man who believes ir aoing things apd 1effaeson county needs Jerry Gwin and he should be elected Jefferson county has more good roads considering the ever increasing heavy traffic 10 which they are constantly suo- jected, I daresay. than the whole state

Extra Pay for Guardsmen

 In your editorials this morning notice the fight that MT.

Jerry Gwin's Case

To the Editor of The Age -Herald:
 Much has been said in the attempts to detract from the support of Jerry Gwin's candidacy in the columns of the press. All purporting to be based on the findings Of a sitting uf the grand jury.
 Much speculation has arisen as to what were these findings. Did they warrant impeachment proceedings? If so, why, then, was he not impeached? Was he guilty of misfeasance in office? Did he inappropriate the county's funds. Was ne alone responsible for the acts which resulted in the findings? Is it in the province of a grand jury to request or demand the resignation of a public of ficial upon the evidence which may be brought, before it rather than to in- stitute impeachment proceedings as the law requires? Were they not reTBiss in their sworn duties in not so doing if the evidence so warranted? In which event would not the constitutional rights of the accused be safeguarded in that he should be granted a speedy and inn partial trial in open court by his fellow men, wherein he is allowed to confront his accusers and receive the benefit or all evidence in his own behalf. was there any effort made to pursue this course in the face of his offer to wave all preliminarieS and to proceed with trial for impeachment? If not, then why all tt4lS CiSffIUF 0n rue eve Ol tiD s>i@SiiOit you what I think about the matter Ihe deadlock that ensued in Washington oe- tween one party with legislative control and the other party in the administrative department would alone have been an ls- sue, but a different subject was intro duced: How we were going to end the war.
