FRANK L. TOTJ VELLE Democratic Candidate for Nomination for County Judge. J. R. NEIL ? Democratic Candidate for County Judge quainted with tho people of Jackson county through a thorough personal campaign. One feature of this campaign has already impressed itself upon the voters the fact that everybody knows where Johnston stands on law enforcement. Johnston's record as deputy prose cuting attorney .In Josephine county and as police judge of the city of Grants Pass stamps him as au aide, fearless champion of laws framed fo tho protection of youth as well as all other laws. During his administrn-t tion S342." in fines were imposed upon bootleggers and blind pig men convicted for violating tho liquor laws, Johnston's quality of flnnness' showed in his Imposing strong penal ties including jail sentence. John ston also niado history in southern Oregon by the destruction of contra band liquor seized under search war rant. Tho blind piggers and bootleggers are lined up strong against Johnston and the one lawyer at Grants Pass who is leading tho campaign against Johnston is attorney for certain ones of this class of violators. Johnston has had largo experience In criminal law practice, ho having heen on tho winning sido of over 100 criminal cases. He has also assisted In the prosecution of three murderers, all of whom were convicted. While Johnston lives in Josephine county ho is a thorough Oregonia and a splendid typo of American citizen and is loyal to American in stitutions. Jackson county will rec ognize these considerations as of first importance. Jackson county has had the prosecuting attorney's office and the circuit judge since time immemorial, Mr. Johnston en. tertains the reatonablo hopo that his platform and his record will out weigh local considerations and glvo him favorable notico at the polls by tho voters of Jackson as well as Josephine county.
