Fred Wilson Will
Not Be a Candidate
Since it la but a ahort time until
the announcement of candidatea
fur variou o (Ticca at the coming
primarlee will have to be made,
and knowing that the candidacy
of tome partie fur the office of
Dittrict Attorney depend upon
whether or not I thould again de
aire to be a candidate, I deem it
but fair to audi aspirant and any
other, to definitely announce that
I will not be a candidate for nom
ination at the coming primaries.
Pretture of private buainei iaiucb
that I feel that a lacriflce of auch
hutinnta mutt be made, or the
dutiea of the Diatrict Attorney'
oflice would not receive that cloee
attention which they deterve and
demand, and for that reaaon I
have come to the above conclusion.
In making Ibil announcement,
I trust it ia not out of place to ex
preae my aincere and heartfelt ap
preciation to those who have given
me their loyal support and wCrd
of enoourgmnt during the time
I have performed the dutiea of the
Diatrict Attorneyship, which at
time bave been somewhat ardu
on, and I trust that my aoccetsor,
whoever he may be, will enjoy this
plearant association and co-opera
tion to the aame full extent a it
has been given me.
