Voters, Attention

To start with, he associates with him, as a law partner, one Cavanaugh, a fellow, at that time, without legal knowledge or even business experience ; at once he begins to schetne for the office of prosecuting attorney and no sooner does he secura it, than he sets about to put h3 partner, Cavanaugh, into the fat office of secretary of the county board of exatniners. To do this he firotelects Arthur Brown as a member of the board. At this point the firm already control $3,000 in salaries- $1,500 as prosecuter and $1,500 as secretary of the board - besides the per diem upon this board. Truly here is a veritabla "Ringrule'1 and political rottenness. It is readily seen that the office of prosecuting attorney and county clerk stand in immediate and close relation to our school system, and that the latter is dragged into the mire of politics for the personal Rain of the firm of Lehman & Cavanaugh. Not only that ; to pay Brown back for his vote for Cavanaugh, who was elected a member of the board for that express purpose, this flrm ran over the county and packed caucuses for Brown for clerk, and used the school system "of our county for that purpose, and with his election control the clerk's office. Did any more marked and welldefined "ring" exist or one more disastrous to the welfare of us all ? Not only that, what has [this firm of Lehman & Cavanaugh cost this county besides the $3,000 in their own salaries and the per diem on the board of examinern? Read the proceedings of the board of supervisors now in session, and the following truthfully appears as the slim paid for assisting this prosecuting attorney in the trial of cases which he ought to have conducted himself, viz.: Charles R. Whitman, $275; J A.Parkinson, $150; Edwin Conley,$108; Densmore Cramer, $75; total, $608.00; thereby really making his salary $2,108, as well as the amount allowed him for expenses, and to the firm $3,600. Will the voters continue in power such a "ringster?" Solve this problem and elect Amariah F. Freeman your next prosecuting attorney, one who tries his own cases and is known to most always win them. He is known the county over as a "case winner."
