To The Voters of
Worcester County

AS candidate for Sheriff of this
county / am taking this means of ac-
quainting you with my position on a
few questions which at this time are
vital to every voter--especially to
the women voters-of our county:
a. l. stand for law-enforcement

honestly enforced, without fear or
favor. i
GO violators of the law are gull
ty of crime against the Common
criminals, regardless of color or
standing in the community in which
they live. :.
(4) The wilful violation of law
tends to wreck the foundation of our
Government, which is the Constitu-
ton of the United Stats.
(5) Every article and amendment
to the Constitution is equally import
ant and should be supported anu
strictly enforced by law. ! Il
This statement Of my position is
not mantle put on with the thought
of catching few votes; it is not only
my present stand on these questions
but it represents my honest convic-
tons for the past twenty-five years,
as my record at home will prove.
If elected I hereby pledge myself
to perform the duties Of my office &C.
cording to these principles. I shall
appoint as Deputies only those who
are endorsed by our best law-respect-
ing citizens and are in full sympath.
with my views as stated above.
This statement Of principles and
pledge to their support are made with
full realization that the office Of
Sheriff is a mans job.
If what I stand for meets with your
approval I will appreciate your hearty
support on Election day, November

To The Voters of

Because of the serious illness for
four weeks of my wife and of my boy
for five weeks with typhoid fever,
and my court duties I have been un-
able to see the people of this county
about my candidacy as States Attor-
ney, but take this opportunity to
ask for your support upon my record.
| have saved the taxpayers a great
deal of money by giving my whole
time and attention to the work of the
Grand Jury and in most cases I have
had the Grand Jury dismissed Mon
day afternoon.

ted States Prohibition officer:

ney for Worcester County, Mary
dian.
Dear Sir:--The Federal Prohibition
Director of Maryland, Mr.. Edmund
Budnitz, has called my attention to
the favorable attitude that you are
displaying aowards the enforcement
of the prohibition law and the whole
hearted manner in which YOU are CO.
operating with the Federal forces.
l, as we'll as Mr.. Budnitz, appre-
ciate the splendid spirit that you are
manifesting and many courtesies that
you are extending to our forces and
the valuable aid and assistance that
you are giving this department in
the work in Maryland.
Respectfully yours,
r. HI. HAYNES.
Prohibition Commissioner.
1t has been the custom to give
the States Attorneys three terms. Mr..
William F. Johnson, Mr.. Sidney Will
son and Judge Jones held the office
for three terms, and therefore think
the rule should be extended to me,
and if elected I will get to serve but
three years under the new law.
l have been trying to do my duty
in court this week, succeeded in Sc
curing conviction in eight liquor
cases where the parties were each
sentenced to six monhst in the House
Of Correction and to pay a fine of
$4,000.
I ask your support at the coming
