TO THE VOTERS OF
COUNTY.
We are all agreed that now tho
jpcoial business of our nation and of
each of us is war. Our success In this
matter Is, of course, the thing that
ongrosses the mind of every good
American citizen, and the question of
who shall or shall not hold sotn-i
county office. Js of small moment in
comparison, but I feel that In Justlci
to myself I should at this timo mahu
a statement relatlvo to my candidacy
for tho office of Sheriff of Lane county.
As Sheriff of this county I have en
deavored to conduct tha affairs of tho
office In an efficient, economical and
buslncss-l'.ke manner, and to perform
the additional duties placed upon tho
office as a result of the war, fairly and
impartially and In qlo30 co-operation
with the Federal officials. Tho Inves
tigations conducted at the request of
the government authorities relating to
alien enemies, draft evaders, etc., havo
become a very important and arduous
duty of the Sheriff's office.
I have endeavored to do my whole
duty not only in these matters, but
in tho handling of tho regular routine
work of the office. I have agreed and
acted in accordance with tho Idea ex
pressed by Mr. Green Pitcher (one of
the most courageous and efficient
peace "officers in the Stateof Oregon),
who said, during tho last primary elec
tion campaign, "I do not believe tho
peoplo expect their Sheriff to be sim
