Being one of thoe who spent no

you in your efforts to enforce the

you Instruct your subordinates to
keep an eye on United States Sen

lead to the uncovering of much
contraband liquor. Our courts are
being burdened nnd our Jails filled
through trials and convictions of
obscure offenders, while high pub
lic officials who refuse to use even
prudence In their Indiscretions run
wild with Impunity. Jtespect for
the law will come only through Its
enforcement without regard to tin?
wealth or official position of tlie
offender. The situation as it exists
here not only breeds contempt for
tho low, but is setting a horrible
example to the yemh of this state,
who are too often taught to take
