VOTERS-THE FACTS

In making my campaign for the of
flee of County Attorney it has been
my intention and desire to 60 before
the voters solely on my own qualifi-
cations for the office, and without
mention Of my opponent However,
when Mr. Herbert circulates misleading
misrepresents my record in his pub
lished statements it is necessary to
correct them
In stating that my first year of of
flee cost more than his entire term
he includes bills of the preceding
County Attorney, Mr.. Jim Scott, to my
expenses, making a total of S4,26860.
These bills were paid after | was in
office, and charged to the district at
torney's fund for that time, but they
were the claims of Logan and Child
for Sl750, and also $500; Gray & Row
land for $500 Booth & Maiden for $3.50
and S45l10, for assisting Mr.. Scott in
certain large suits involving the tran
scription of the records from Flat
head county. Should these old bills
of previous years be deducted from
the money paid out in 1918, the cx-
penses of the office for that year are
S817 so figure more in accord with
those of my other years. If Mr.. Her
bert had itemized the expenses Of the
year 1913, as he did 1914, 1915 and
1916, instead of leaving a large blank
space all this would have been clearly
shown, Even so, how could the sum he
alleges, S4,26860 for my first year,
amount to more than the sum Of his
four years expenditures; S9,67261 as
he claimed
In the Rexford bridge suit the Com
missioners. Mr. Logan and myself re-
ceived only commentator and congrat-
ulations. The case was bitterly Tough,
but we recovered the full amount of
the Countys loss, and the record is
plain on the books Now after la years
William Herbert comes along with in
situations, and the statement that the
County has nothing to show for it.
My administration had nothing to do
with increasing the debt of the county
That was due principally to the build
ing of the Courthouse, the three Koo-
tenia bridges, and the county roads
which were beginning to be built at
that time. The present decrease of the
debt is directly due to the fact that
IL years before Mr.. Herbert went into
office sinking fund was created in
which money has since accumulated to
pay off the bonded debt as the bonds
became due The credit is due solely
to you taxpayers for paying your
taxes.
Ask any County Commissioner or
treasurer and they will tell you that
they. and not the County Attorney,
handle and control the county taxes

held office soon after the county
was formed and as it is we'll known
more work was done by the County
Attorneys office. then than has been
the case since; yet the four years Mr.
Herbert has been ingoffice has cost the
county two and one-fifth times as
much as my four years.
Mr. Herbert's other figures and state
ments are likewise intended TO mis-
represent and mislead. and il | arr
