Show 1B - w County Attorney Straw T A Vigorous Prosecution I If tho voters of Utah County want I a County Attorney who stands for a 1 vigorous enforcement of tho law, 1 then, on election day they will voto I to give Milan R. Straw a second term I In this Important offlco. Any ono who will examine tho splendid rocord mado by Mr. Straw ob County Prose- cutor for tho past two-year term must admit that he has cortalnly mado I good. H He has handled moro than double H the number of cases handled by his predecessor In offlco, and has done all this work without tho County pay-H pay-H lng out ono cent for a Deputy. Then, H too, Mr. Straw has ono ot the boat records ot any County Attorney In j tho Stato for winning his cases. Of H all the cases filed ho has lost loss H than flvo per cent of thorn. Tho j secret ot his success lies in tho fact, H that before filing any case ho goes H into all Us phases vory carefully, and H it ho finds thoro is not sufficient ovld- ence to warrant a conviction, or that M tho complainant hasn't a caso, ho doos H not authorize tho issuanco of a com-H com-H plaint, and this saves tax payers H' hundreds of dollars In Jury and wit-H wit-H ness fees that would havo to bo paid j oat in useless prosecutions. H Then again, thoro are scores ot H complaints that havo como to his H o1"co arising out ot neighborhood Ht rows, taking irrigation water, etc., j that havo boon settled by his offlco H without putting tho County to all tho H cxpenso of prosecutions. B Mr, Straw is rogardod, by his fol- low lawyors as a most careful lawyor In drawing his papors. Out ot tho Ave hundred flfty-oight criminal cort-j cort-j Plaints and soarch and solzuro pro- coedlnga handled by him, not ono has H been hold by any Court to bo improp- cly drawn or derectlvo. Bl Ab tho roador no doubt knows, tho B County Attorney is tho logal advisor j of tho Board of County Commission- crs and ot all County ofllcera. Evory j county officer will tell you that Mr. Straw has boon roady and willing at K all times to glvo prompt and court-j court-j c"us sorvlcos to thorn whenever call- ed upon, and his advlco and counsel has always boen found to bo safo. In tho suit of Bon E. Argylo as County Surveyor against Utah County, for over a thousand dollars of back salary, Mr. Straw, by his nblo do-fonso do-fonso succeeded in winning this suit for which ho has received a great deal of commendation. 'Mr. Straw Is a fearless and able prosecutor. Much prossuro has boon brought to boar on him at tlmoi to dismiss cases 'of persons who have transgressed tho law, but ho has disregarded dis-regarded all throats, and vigorously prosocutod ovory case, whother tho otfondor bo rich or poor.
