We noticed, however, that it was
the already friends of Gates who
resented the onslaught, and that
the lukewarm observers and op

Most of them burst into a hearty

Briggs Explains Attitude Toward
Conduct District Attorney’s Office
TO THE PEOPLE OF JACKSON COUNTY:
As the Republican nominee for the office of District
Attorney of Jackson county, I believe the people arc
entitled to know my attitude toward the conduct of that
office—in other words, what my platform is. 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.

6. 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.
