Prominent Dnrnnt Iinwyer Seeks Of-
fice of County Prosecutor.
To the Domocratlcvoters of Ilryan
County:
Aftor a careful consideration I
have decided to nnnounco myself a3
a candidate for tlio otfico of Coun-
ty Attorney Btibjcct to the action of
of the Democratic Primary on Aug-
ust 4. I did not decide to do this
without first making an honest of
fort to find out the sentiment of the
people In regard to this office. After
talking to tho people from ovory sec-
tion of tho county and finding tho
present condition to bo unsatisfac-
tory I have decided to enter tho
race.
I made the race for this offlco in
the last election but at that timo it
was the will of tho people that I
should be only second in the race. I
bowed submissively to the will of tho
Seople and took my place in ranks
f those in private life. I wish lo
say here that I appreciate tho sup-
port given me at that time. Just as
much so as if 1 had been the suc-
cessful candidate. If I hao conduct-
ed myself since so as to merit your
continued support in this race I as-
suro you I shall undertake to dis-
charge the duties of the office in
such a way as you will have no
cause to regret having given me
jour support; and to those who with-
held their support at that timo I
wish to say that I only ask at your
hands a fair and careful considera-
tion and If you upon giving mo
such consideration do not belIeo I
merit your support it Is your duty
and privilege to vote your convic-
tions and for what you believe to bo
for the best interests of our citizen-
ship nnd I have no right to romp-
lain. 1 wish to say here that no
man has the right to ride In office
through trickery fraud prejudice
or through tho circulation of false-
hoods during a campaign and I trust
this will not bo resorted to in this
campaign but that the truth only
will be circulated in order that the
citizens may vote intelligently and
for the best Interests of tho county.

1 was born and raised In tho state
of Tencssco. My fattier tnughl mo
Democracy whon a child. I h'avo
never voted any othor ticket except
tho Democratic ticket 1 waS rnis-
cd In that section of tho state whoro
everybody woro Democrats.
I havo been Wost about fourtcon
years and I claim this as my per-
manent homo. As a citizen of this
county nnd as a camlldato for tho
offico of County Attorney I onty
have tho right to expect the citizen-
ship of this county to stand by nnd
support- me when I stand for tho
things which aro for progress and
for tho furthering of our mutual in-
terests. As to my qualifications forthe of-
flco I seek I havo this to say that
X havo mot with fair success In tho
prae'tlc of law nnd havo beon able
to pro. 'do fairly woll for my wifo
and four children out of the proceeds
received from my labors. 1 prepar-
ed myself in tho Uternry and law
schools of Tennessee for my' chosen
profession nnd I believe I am quali-
fied to discharge all tho duties of
tho pffleo with credit to myself and
to the satisfaction of the people of
tho county. - I am sufficiently ad-
vanced In llfo to know that for mo
to ask for tho offlcd at your hands
and to receivo same by your votes
and to fall to make good It would
bo a fatal mlstako upon my part and
leave mo in a worso condition than
before I cntored upon tho duties of
tho office. I would therefore
strlvo to do my duty so that when
I quit tho offlco I would havo tho
good will of tho peoplo of this coun-
ty nnd tho assurance that I had not
asked at your hands an offlco in
which I was unablo to make good.
I promise If olected your County
Attorney to know no difference in
localities in men In factions or
races In dealing out justice. I
promiso Jf elected to prosecuto the
men charg6d with crlmo without
regard to his so1) X standing his po-
litical influence or the race which
ho may belong and to deal with
each caso as presented with that
consideration which Is born of a do-
sire to deal justly with my fellow-
man nnd to protect society against
the infractions of tho law. I hold
that any man who is elected to of-
fico and uses tho power put in his
hands by reason of same to protect
his friends or to abuso Ills enemies
or who plays for political lnfluonco
in tho discharge of tho duties de-
volving upon him or who lets any-
thing except tho law and tho right
guide him in tho conduct of tho of-
fice is an embozzlor of power as
much so as the man who embezzles
the property of another. I promise
tho. man nccused of crime and with-
out trionds and political influence
that ho will receive tho same consid-
eration at my hands as the 'man who
is accussed of tho same crime with
friends and influence. I believe a
man may be bribed In the discharge
of his duty without receiving cash in
hand nnd that if ho lots tho prom-
ise or hope of political influence ef-
fect or werve him from tho dis-
charge of tho duties of -his offico
he has accepted a bribo that Is more
damaging to society nnd destructive
of the objects nnd purposes of gov-
ernment than the man who in sec-
ret lecelves the cash down.
I trust that every voter will give
serious consideration as to whom ho
7
should give his voto for the office of
County Attorney on August 4th and
If he will do thifi I do not fear the
results of tho election

"We tho Democrats of Bryan
county. In organization assembled
for tho purposo of promoting tho
cnndldacy of Judgo R. L. Williams
for tho Democratic nomination for
governor hereby stato to the peoplo
of tho stato our reasons therefor.
"First Tho fact that ho is a legal
resident of this county nnd our
neighbor Is not the principal reason
for our giving his candidacy our
loyal support. That merely enable?
us to know him better and moro In-
tlmatoly and to havo an accurato
knowledge of his character capacity
and qualification for this high of-
fice. "Second Ho is honest to tho point
of ruggedness. In all public and of-
ficial relations ho has -a fine sense
of what Is right and what is duo tho
public. As a private citizen ho Is
nlways on tho side that stands for
tho highest sonse of right in the ad-
ministration of our public affairs.
As a lawyer ho Is professionally eth-
ical and Just and faithful in tho dis-
charge of every duty. As a busi-
ness man he is not only successful
but also just in his dealing with all
men.
' "Third This city is a monument
to his business enterprise sagncity
public spirit and philanthropy. Moat
of the Industries and bjg concerns
in this town he helped to start but
laid aside that active business ca-
reer to glvo his service to the state.
In doing that it has not been without
cost to him but at great financial
sacrifice.
"Fourth There Is not a church or
a .college or private educational in-
stitution or (ollege In this city but
what has been a beneficiary of hU
goneiosily and public spirit and phil-
anthropy. Personally ho is econ-
omical but with things that uplift
humanity ho is generous. All through
the years of his residence in this city
and county he has always been align-
ed pn the side of right and justics

watch against your ear then move It
gradually awny from tho car and see
how far away from the Watch you
