His County Judge Extra seems to have aroused no small amount of com ment and some criticism, which was to be expected if the extra con tained any matter that struck home here and there, and betting has swung to Phipps as the heavy fav orite to win the judgeship. Some of Gates’ allies expressed the opinion’(or was it desire?) to us that they felt that The Miner’s exposure of Pop the Weasel's ter rible financial muddle worked to his benefit, gaining sympathy for the rotund flivver peddler. We noticed, however, that it was the already friends of Gates who resented the onslaught, and that the lukewarm observers and op ponents reacted quite differently. Most of them burst into a hearty laugh and, between explosions of violent mirth asked, “and that’s the man who claims he can give Jack- son county a business administra tion.” Hilarity seems to have been the general acceptance the disclos ure« received, and although we printed an extra hundred copies of the paper the other week when Gates’ past was aired, it was a complete sell-out by noon. We also have been told that, whenever a man puts himself up before voters as the best business head available to run the county’s affairs, he immediately subjects himself and his business life to the close scrutiny of all voters — for how else can they determine whether or not Pop IS a business man capable of keeping the county out of the red? We grant Pop is an outstanding I man—but in a minus quantity | (—190,000). And now that we’ve gotten down the line and can pause for a min ute, we’ll relax on the local politics —which really are of more import ance to Jacksonvile than any other, and have aroused the least inter est of any.

And very little standing still is being done these days by any municipality. All nominating petitions must be filed by Saturday of this week, to morrow, and then the old town will be set for its own parody on I politics.

Briefly, I would state same as follows: 1. 1 hat every citizen of Jackson county coming in contact with my office will receive a square deal, with the idea in mind that the District Attorney’s office is for the purpose, not only of prosecuting and bringing to justice the wrong-doer, but of protecting the innocent. 2. I believe in the observance of the law safeguarding the issuance of search warrants, and that every citizen is entitled to his constitutional rights regarding search and seizure. I do not believe in the issuance of so-called "blanket” search warrants, and shall approve only the issuance of search warrants based upon proper affidavits showing “probable cause.” 3. I pledge myself to give efficient and prompt atten tion to the duties required of the District Attorney under the law. 4. I believe information can be obtained by properly deputized officers, operating under the direction of the sheriff and state police. You cannot have a high type of enforcement without a high type of men engaged in such work. 5. J agree to conduct the office with as much economy as is consistent with efficiency.

I believe in the enforcement and observance of the law. I believe that law was intended to meet the ends of justice, and it follows therefrom that reason, and a consideration of surrounding circumstances, must be in termingled with its enforcement. In staling the above pledges and beliefs, 1 am not to be construed, directly or indirectly, as making inference against my Democratic opponent; I am simply stating what I, personally, stand for. I am conducting my cam paign on my own beliefs and merits, and criticism of an opponent will not enhance my own qualifications. (Paid Adv.) WM. M. BRIGGS. 4)
