Grades Out of Six
Here is This Store's Platform
Day In and Day Out, Told in Three Short Sentences
Owing to the fact that I was the
only aspirant (or the nomination for
District Attorney for Polk County on
the Democratic ticket, I did not engage
In an active campaign before the pri
mary election. I wish, however, at
this time to thank my friends and sup
porters for the kindly Interest dis
played in my behalf.
It is my desire, and I shall endeavor
before the coming election, to come In
personal contact with as many of the
people of Polk County as my time will
permit.
I appreciate the fact that the voting
public is entitled to know something
of the life of a man who offers himself
as a candidate for office, especially an
office which at any time might develop
to mean so much to the taxpayers of
t h! county. In addition to furnishing
legal advice to all other county officials
and assisting them In administering
their offices to the best Interest of the
county at large. It Is the duty of the
Prosecuting Attorney to enforce law
and order In your midst, and should be
done carefully, conscientiously and
without fear or favor.
For the benefit of the voters whom
I have not met, and who may not know
me, 1 feel It my duty to make known
the material facts of my life, touching
my qualifications for the office for
which I am candidate.
Undoubtedly, after seeing my name
the first lnqulrv would be as to my na
tionality. My father was of Polish (as
th" name indicates) and my mother of
Swiss descent.' Althongh born in the
United States, 1 am familiar with sev
eral languages, the German language
being prominent among them, My
parents were among the pioneer set
tlers of Nebraska, having located In
St. Paul. In that state, in the early '70s
I was born In St. Paul In 1881. I at
tended the public schools there, grad
uating from the' High School in the
spring of 1898.
Having secured the consent of my
parents and permission of the school
board to leave before the expiration of
the school year, I enlisted with Com
pany B. Second Nebraska Volunteers,
and served nine months during the
Spanish-American war. Upon my re
turn, I joined the Nebraska National
Guard and remained a member as long
as I made that state my home.
After the death of my father in 1908,
I came to Salem, Oregon, and engaged
in farming south of that city. Soon
afterward I began to read law. and In
the fall of 1911 I moved to Salem and
entered the law department of Willam
ette Unlverslty.from which I was grad
uated In the spring of 1913. One of
my classmates was Mr C. L. Starr,
formerly of Dallas, and at that time
Secretary of the State Tax CommlS'
slon.
After our graduation, Mr Starr and
I went to Portland and opened law
offices In the Corbett building, making
a specialty of tax matters, with which
Mr Starr was very familiar I soon
developed an earnest desire to get into
the general practice of law, and when
I was offered an opportunity for gen
eral practice In the office of Mr. Oscar
Hayter, In Dallas, I lost no time in
grasping It I moved my family to
Dallas In the summer of 1914 and have
been actively engaged In the practice
of law In Mr. Hayter's office since
that time.
I am one of the directors of the Dal
las Commercial Club and have also
been granted commission as lieuten
ant of Company L, Oregon National
Guard. As to my honesty and Integ
rity as a citlzen,I refer you to the local
banks and business houses and also In
vite your Inquiry at the United States
National and Ladd & Bush's banks In
Salem, with whom I have transacted a
considerable amount of business.
As to my qualifications as a lawyer,
I am willing to submit to the Judgment
of the local bench and bar.
I seek election to the office of Dis
trict Attorney with an earnest desire
to serve the people of Polk County
faithfully, honestly and efficiently, and
on this platform I respectfully ask
your support at the polls in November.
