BULLETIN.

Just after noon today Frank s.
synmonds issued the following
statement:
''To the people of the city and
county of KenOsha:
II think it but fair to all con-
concerned, that we make this short
statement at this time, concerning
the recent election. The board of
county canvassers certified to Mr..
Barnett's election, giving him a
plurality of one, over myself and
] believe a certificate of election
has been issued.
Gust what will be done by me, if
anything, will be determined after
go over the evidence, l have gath
cred, with my attorney. The cleo
ton Is so close, that personally,
I feel court should pass upon it.
"My feeling regarding the office
of district attorney has always been
that OF keen sense of responsible
ity, arising out of the district at
t0rney's duties. 1t is true that |
have been a reasonable, vigorous
prosecutor and that this, together
with the failure of large majority
of the voters Of the First ward in
supporting me as the only candi-
date out of the Republican party,
is the cause of the clOseness of the
election. What is now the First
ward is a strong Republican ward,
but Notwithstanding this, scores
and scores Of times have | seen
my name stricken, as the only Re-
publican candidate on a straight
ticket and Mr.. Barnett's name sub
stituted thereafter in this ward,
so that he obtained GIG votes,
while / obtained 597. | know the
sinister influence that was used
against me in this ward and which
accounts for this ward going the
same as the north side wards. /
do not censure or blame the voters
in this matter. 1t was misinfOrm-
dGiOH anu uEAAbSIdbe AdiSGtiOOuS
that were circulated against me,
which has caused this situation.
MY record during the time of
service as district attorney, l shall
always look back upon with a great
deal of satisfaction. KenOsha
county, so far as observation of
law is concerned, was never in
better situation than at the present
time.
1T will require vigorous work on
he part of any prosecutor to main
tain the degree of law enforce
ment now attained. trust that
whoever may finally be the one
whom the people have legally Sc
lected, that he will prosecute in
such a way as to maintain the de-
cided change over that which ex-
listed when | took Office and that
which now exists.
"When it is fully determined as
to who is to be our next district
attorney, shall probably have
more to say. Very respectfully,
"FRANK S. SYMMONDS."
