(treat rospiM't for the power of tliP The Ashland Tidinirs iithe onlv newspaper in Jackson County supporting Xewfti C. Chaney and this committee hud no valid objections to the three newspnpers in Medford opposing Mr. Chaney for district attorney, provided they will dive his whole record. All three of the newspapers in .Medford are supporting Mr. Chaney's opponent for district attorney; they are all ipporting lialph Jennings for sheriff. We believe that 1vo of them are opposing Mr. Chaney to sustain the fiction of tleir political independence. Committee Careful in Checking Records This Committee frankly confesses to some partisanship, hut it has speut n great deal of time and money ! running down records and checking them up in an effort to be fair in every statement made. If Ihe newspapers will dig deep into the records and into the history of M Chaney's conduct of Ihe district atlorney's office, for the past three, nnd one-half years, we believe that at least Mr. Kulil nnd P.r. Tuttle would switch their sup port to Mr. Chaney. . The intention of this committee has been to say little nhout Mr. Chaney's opponent or about Mr. Jennings, democratic candidal' for sheriff, but to say a good deal abnut Mr. Chaney's fine record, hut some of the things being published may i'oree tts'to make a few remarks about Mr. Codding ami Mr. Jennings; Not in Disparagement But for the Sake of Truth What are .just a few of the facts in regard, to J'l". Chaney's opponent! ITi? was ad mitted to the bar sixteen years ago; he has abandoned the practice of his profession twice in that period and taken non-professional jobs. I" twelve years of practice, our search of the record shows that he has had only forty-one cases before the circuit court, nil pet ty and unimportant divorces, mortgage foreclosures, etc. lias he handled any crimin al cases, or involved in intricate civil cases'.' lias he had any experience in law enforce ment ? If so, the records do not show it. Mr. Codding is a supporter of Al Smith. "SU: Codding has made no public statement as to his convictions with reference to prohibi tion. Would he continue the present sincere, vigorous enforcement of the prohibition law? Many Cases Handled at Low Cost . What of Chaney's record. In the past three years and ten months Chaney's office had handled 17(11 criminal eases in Justice Court ; 11 '2 criminal cases in Circuit Court j !G civ il eases and (1 kSupreme eases, a total of 1!)1" eases handled by C'haney as district attorn ey; and this vast grist of eases has passed through Chaney's office at an unprecedented low average cost per ease. , Chaney's Policy: "Keep Cases cut of Circuit Court" And these newspapers must rem'rmher that the. work of the district attorney's office has increased enormously in the last three or four years nnd if it was not for Chnney'a policy, of threshing these eases out and securing complete evidence in each ease, or secur ing pleas of guilty and going into the justice Court witli. them, instead of into Circuit Court, the cost would have been many times greater. Voters Please Analyze A certified copy of the records just received by this Committee shows: Prohibition fund receipts and balance ou hand for years l!)2.r)-in2G-1927 $37,297.40 Disbursements : Jl.r,3!)7.04 Out of this fund the district attorney's office received $20,fi4".r,iJ ; "Sheriff $f,0:H.:"7 ; turned in to County (iencral Fund, $1 ,!)0fi.22 ; amount turned in to State Treasury and County (ienernl Fund, mid balance an band, '$1 1,61(1.94. The Medford newspapers are shocked because over $20,000.(10 has been .spent by Cli.m ey's office during this period. Do they say nnythjng about better than 1900 eases lia. id led by him at an average cost of around $11.00 per case? Of course they do not. Do tl.ey say r.nything about Jhe way their candidate for sheriff, Mr. Jennings, handled his kIi ire of this fund! NO, but we will tell you that lie spent it just like Mr. Chaney did law fully and properly in apprehending nnd convicting criminals. If They Criticize Chaney, Criticize the Sheriff Also lint, if these newspapers tire going to challenge Chaney's expenditures it will be only fair for us to say that the Sheriff's office in one year, by agreement, received out of this prohibition fund a great deal more than its 2.r. Furthermore. Mr. Chaney paid jointly to 1'aul and Lewis Jennings) the sheriff's deputies, $!l"i4.10 for performing special, prohibi tion work. 1 Let Us Have AH the Facts Did tho newspapers that are claiming that M'r. Chancy exceeded his budget allowance find out some of these facts? Evidently not. Jf the newspapers will tell nil the facts this committee will publicly eommend them, but we believe that they are assuming n blindly partisan attitude in opposing Mr. Chaney and that, they are not searching to find any thing in the records that will lose votes for their candidates, Mr. Codding nnd Mr. Jen nings. Chaney Has Unimpeachable Record Mr. Chaney has nn unhupencluiblp record for fiiitltfiiluphs, hnncHty nnd efficiency in I tltc conduct of tho dislrict attorney's office.
