I had declared my intention to mako tho race, nnd it wns so Mated in tho Interior Journal long beforo I had over henrd thaht Mr. Rico who has recently announced, hnd nny inten tion of mnking tho race. To be perfectly frank with jou, as I have always tried to be, tho moro announcement of my intention to mako tho race did not have tho effect of rendering" my days miser able nor my nights sleepless by ren son of the constant trend of the vot ers of the county, soliciting nnd urg ing mo to make tho race although, I hnve received satisfactory assur ance of support from every section of the county. My determination to mako tho race has been nrtnntcd more from n per sonal desire to-bo honored by thu nomination and election to the very important office of Judgo of the county court of my county, than from uny pressure from the voters o f the county. In mnking this announcement I will not rush into print with the de claration, that "1mm not the candi date of any clique faction or inter est." A declaration of innocence made before accusation is to say the very least of it, to be regarded with fius picion. We rend thnt, "The wicked tlec when no man pursueth," I am fully aware of the importance of tho office I 6eek and the responsibility nttnchd to the proper discharge of the duties of n county judge, but with my long service as county clerk and many years practice ns n law yer, I hnve no fenr as to my qualifi cation to fill the office, in fact, I would not nsk the people (o elect me to an office that I did not feel per fectly confident I could fill with lion or to myself nud to the entire satis factioti of the ja-oplc of my county My contention is, that it is almost impossible for a man who is not a lawjer or by reason of a long and close association with Hie transac tion of the business transacted by a county judge, to make a succssful and satisfactory county judge. The increased jurisdiction of the quurtcrly courts has greatly aug mented tho volumo of business to be transacted by that court nnd I am at a loss to know how a man, who is not well informed in the law, can rule upon the advisability of testi mony nnd the validity of pleading, IIo simply has to depend on whnt some one else snys, which is not nl ways n snfo thing to do. A county judgo has exclusive jurisdiction in examining trials in all enses of homicide. He presides nt nil sessions of the Fiscal Court nnd it is his duty to keep thho members thereof fully Misted ns to the financial condition of the county. He (passes upon the validity and sufliciency of the bonds of the sehr-' iff and other county officers, when bonds nro required and it is his duty to see that statements are properly mnde. He hns tho appointment of guardi ans nnd administrators and is his duty to see that good and sufficient bonds nro executed, nnd thnt settle ments nro mnde nt stated times. IIo has exclusive jurisdiction in probat ing wills, and many other duties which I cannot here enumerate. I regard the question of maintaining our county roods as being tho most important, ns well as the most diffi cult problem, with which the county judge of Lincoln county has to deal I can only promise thnt if I am elect ed county judge it will be my pride nnd my plcnsure to do everything within my power to give the people of my county better roads and safer bridges. Our neighboring county of Boyle has much better roads than we do and it is mninly duo to the use of improved rond machinery nnd I be lieve that wo would do well to ndopt their system. T shall, if elected, delight in giving personnl attention to the expendi ture of tho rond nnd bridgo fund of our county, nnd try ns far ns.it is possible for me to do, to mnku each dollar buy ono hundred cents worth of Inbor or mnterinl. Whjle u member of tho legislnture I procured the pnssngo of n law authorizing tho Fiscal CSwurt to purchase nnd, furnish frco tools to bo used, on tho dirt roads. This I believe to bo n good law, nnd I would favor tho purehnso of a reasonable- number of picks and shovels to bo furnished to roads whero tho peoplo nro unable to fur nish them. 1 would favor a bcttci road from Crab Orchard to lico Lick from Ottcnhcim to Crab Orchard and from Wajncsburg to tho county lin nt Euli.inks as well as all other din roads in tho eastern portion of the comity so as to provido better fa cilities for those people to reach tho county scat and tho railroad ship ping points nearest to them. I know personally nearly every democratic voter in tho county and I am going to usk you to mako mo your nomi nco for County Judge, and I promiso jou that I will try my very best to make tho best county judgo that Lin coln county has ever had.
