Why Carl c. Bachmann Should Be
Elected Prosecuting Attorney Of
Ohio County.
To the Editor of the Sunday News:
l believe II may reasonably be con-
coded that the members Of the Bar Of
Ohio county are better Qualified to judge
Of the qualifications and merits OF law
yer aspiring for q political position Of
leFal character such az prosecuting at
torney OF said county, than the general
public. and therefore this communica-
ton.
The bar Of Ohio county. am speak
ing generally Of the lawyers, have oh
served and noticed tho work of Mr..
Bachmann for the past four years in
this office. His record cmphatically
calls upon tho people Of this county to
elect him.
He has brought to the discharge Of
his duties fine ability, high sense OF
tn. duties and obligations of his office.
particularly the duties that he owed to
the people of the State: prodigious and
interchangeable labor in the preparation
on the Law and the facts OF his cases
and great skill and ability in producing
his evidence and presenting the same
to the jury.
Tn counsel for the defense found in
Carl G. Bachmanp "a worthy foeman
worthy OF his steel, prosecutor VINO
fought strongly. ably and adroltly. but
always In the open. always straight from
the shoulder. but at the same time al
ways with a scrupulous regard Tor the
ethics OF the profession. always apoFe-
board, fair and professional IN inc con-
tests.
In q great number Of important felony
cases during these four years. unaioed
and unassisted by his chief Mr.. Mckee
or any one else. he has condu1cd
the prosecution against vigorous de-
tense Of the best criminal lawyers OF
the county with signal ability and sue
cess. The leaders of the bar KNOW that
when they meet Carl G. Bachmann in Il
legal contest, they are going into bat
tie in which they will have TO put forth
their best efforts.

Mr.. McKe's confidence in his ability
Was such that, while engaged in other
matters. he felt that he could safely
leave the conduct and trial OF cases, no
matter how big they were. in his hands
with perfect confidence that lhdy
would be handled with skill and ability.
and everything from the States stand

If prosecuting attorneys In this county
some Of them very able men and law
yers, and ! can truthfully say that Carl
c. Rachmann in all of the cases In which
he alone represented the State. and these
cases have been many in number anu
Importance, in the way he has ham
died them, and in percentage Of con-
yictionS has been the peer OF any prose-
cutor that have knowledge Of in this
county. Why should the people vote
against a man possessing these qualities
with this experience. and with such
remarkable record of victories in large
aray of cases of greatest importance and
vote for a man whose experience along
these lines has been so extremely
mcagrc. that it practically amounts to
no experience?
Carl G.. Bachmann has had nothing TO
DO with tho policy or ADMINISTRATION OF
the office of the prosecuting attorney:
that is alone in the hands of his chief
Mr.. Mckee. His duties and powers have
been to assist in all criminal trials; III

The magnificent and remarkably sue
ccssful record of Carl q. Bachmann.

Circuit Court of this Judicial Circuit
and the judge Of the Criminal Court OF

mann is young man OF the highest
character and reputation. AS 1 have in
dicated he has lived up to the highest
ethics OF his profession, his private life
is clear and clean: he will be in he fu-
ture as he abs been in the past. faith

pie, and should. and will be elected TO
