AS King of Kings, and Lord of
Lords, He will accomplish that
which we have failed to do,
and the knowledge of God
shall cover the earth as the
waters cover the sea. Is it not
worth waiting and praying
for?
So, dear friends in the Home
land, in Michigan City, in
South America, in the Carib-
bean Sea, in the Philippines, in
China, in Southern California,
I bid you farewell for this
time with the beautiful salu-
tation that the Spanish-speak-
ing peoples use "Adios para
este TEMPO" and hasten the
coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ!
I have thought much about
our growing need for litera-
ture in the Spanish language.
Who will rise to meet this
great need? How we could use
it in this field, here so near to
home, and it would certainly
be a God-send to South Am
erica as we'll as the Philippines
and other places.
Now as dear DR.. Dowie Of

us!"

I shall not have the financial
advantage of the other candidates,
but I am confident the people will
not permit this important office
to be auctioned off to the highest
bidder.
If elected I will give the office
my entire attention, and my as
sistants will do likewise. Through
such policy the office can be
operated at much less expense
than at present.
I will not, under any circum-
stances, allow syndicated vice or
gambling combines to be operated
in any part of the county, by per-
sons from within or without the
county. Such condition, even if it
is merely suspected to exist, re-
suits in the suspicion of corrup-
ton toward all law-enforcement of
ficers, even those of the smallest
village. It causes murmurs of dis
trust against those who have de-
voted long, illustrious careers to
public service. It besmirches the
party which has elected the sus-
pected officials.
While I served as states attor-
ney, SO were convicted and sent to

gard to race. creed. or to political

penalties exacted to build per-

the background and experience re-
quired to give the people the kind
of states attorneys office which
this county demands. 7 will be on

The big difference centers around
Soviet insistence that every member
of the Big Five contribute exactly
the same number of ships, planes
and men to the international force
The majority view Is that the con-
tributions should be comparable to
take care of such situations as China
having no aircraft carriers.
Inability Of the Big Five to agree
there has greatly reduced the poten-
tial strength of the U. N. in world
affairs. The charter provision for a
global force to back up decisions was
welcomed in the early days of the

the U. N. would go further than the
