' TO TUB REPUBLICANS 01-" LANI2 COUNTY: I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for tho office of District Attorney. Many of you are my clients, I have practiced law in Lane County about eight years, and nm opposed in the primaries by. two men of slight oxperlenco as lawyers. The inexperience of the incumbent has been ex pensive to tho taxpayers', and In order to prove this statement I elnploycd at my own expense an auditor to audit the records of Lane County, report of which Is as follows; "THIS IS TO CERtIFY, that I have nudited tho Rocords of Lano County, Oregon, covoring tho cost to tho County of criminnl cases, and tho items thereof aro as follows: Justice Court, December 1, 1913 to April 1, 1916. .$4,268.72 Office Expenses, December 1, 1913 to April 1916. 1,846.34 Witness foos, 1914, 1915, to April 1, 1916. : 9,164.20 Juror Fees, 1914, 1915, to April 1, 1916 3,033.30 Extra Attorney Foos Allowed by Court In criminal cases 75.00 Total Cost to County $18,387.56 Dated at Eugono, Orogon, this 20th day of April, 1916. (Signed) W. G. WILLIAMS. r Expert Accountant. The above audit does not Include the salary and ex penses of Grand Jurors, nor the salary of $2,100.00 per annum of the District, Attorney, nor the many hundred dollars paid by the County to additional counsel In civil cases employed by the County Court because the incumbent was unable to handle the litigation. The above audit Is not a complete record because in order to obtain a complete record it would necessitate the auditor Inspecting sovoral thousand bills In order to locate the exact expense. The above amounts, how ever, were obtaind from the records and carefully computed. Tho above amount does not Include the $1,200.00-Mr. Dcvers claims to have spent for detective hire. Figuring the ex pense of the District Attorney's office from November, 1913, to April first, 1916, and Including the salary of tho District At torney you will have a total item exceeding .$20,000.00. The most important criminnl cases during the incumbent's term were lost, and I believe I make a fair statement when I say that a large amount of the above expense were Incurred through. Inexperience and lack of business judgment on tho part of the Incumbent. I trust you will read my page In the State Party Campaign Pamphlet, which you will receive from the Secretary of State. I pledged myself If nominated and and elected to strict law enforcement, efllclency and economy, courteous treat ment to the public and an earnest desire to fill tho office with credit to myself as well as to the community In which I reside. I will attend to the law business of the County In an or derly manner without cry from the housetops and will try my cases in the proper tribunal Instead of the newspapers, arid . will earnestly and conscientiously give the taxpayers of Lano County the bpneflt of eight years' experience as a lawyer, Instead of getting my experience at the expense of the. tax payers. I trust that I may have your vote, and if. I am nominated and elected you will never have occasion to regret tho con fidence you- repose In. mo. Respectfully submitted, M.
