GETS DATA

Chattanooga, Tenn.-AP-As-
sistant Postmaster George Forb-
es says he has learned a lot
about dogs during his years with
the mail serviee-in fact he's al
most a dog psychiartist.
He says there's no middle
ground about a dogs interest in
the postman-the dog either low
es hi NOR hates him. If he loves
him he'll follow thei postman
along the route so faithfully that
residents frequently complain. If
he hates the postman he'll usu-
ally try to bite him.
Either way it's tough on postal
substitutes. When a sub covers
a route-partieularly in an area
usually covered by a loved
postman-the dogs resent the
newcomer. thinking he's an in
truder, and start nipping.

County are supporting you and telling their friends
that, "as soon as Guy goes back in the Sheriffs Of
flee, we can begin business again."
I do not know if your friends have whispered to
one group of responsible citizens that you will not
tolerate slot machines and whispered to another
group, who want their return, that you will permit,
or cooperate with slot machine operators. | do know,
however, that you promised the public from every
stand that
Twill make you the same kind
of Sheriff and render you the
same kind of service | did be-
fore. e
Mr.. Krebs, I now assure you and all the people
of Jackson County that, if l am elected Sheriff, | will
not tolerate the operation of slot machines and
gambling dens, and will make the people of the
County the type of Sheriff they can be proud of for
his honest, diligent and faithful effort to enforce the
law.
1t has also come to my attention that some of
your supporters are whispering around that, if Nc
Neal is elected, he will prevent the various clubs and
societies from operating ~raffles, or bingo, or other
types of amusement, the proceeds of which go to
charitable purposes.
l brand this now as a lie and suggest that you
pass this word on to those who are peddling it with,
or without, your instructions.
The people want to know where you stand. When
you publicly told them that you would make the
same kind of Sheriff and render the same kind of
service, they want to know if you mean that you
would permit, consent to, or cooperate in the OPP
Grafton of slot machines and gambling dens as you
did before, or whether you would keep them sup
pressed, as has been done by Sheriff Newman.
I now challenge you to tell all the people the
same thing, and to tell Jackson County now, over
your signature, just where you stand on this vital
issue so that the voters of Jackson County will have
no trouble on August Goth in deciding whether they
want a Sheriff who, with the help of good deputies,
will keep the County clean, or a Sheriff who prom
ises to permit a resumption of slot machine and
gambling den operations.
1t can be assumed that, if you refuse to state
your position out loud or over your signature to all
the people, you will continue to promise one thing
to the operators and one thing to the citizenry, who
have the interest of the whole County at heart.
May I be favored with your reply in an open let
ter for the enlightenment of all the people.
Yours very truly,
