Having accepted, I SB i : -dealre to bo elected becausco t the S honor It would bring, tho salary I would receive, and tho opportunity SB ' tho lfllco affords to servo the public. HH My prlvato duties will not conflict H 'with my offlclnl duties. My clients HH understand that my work as District H Attorney must havo rlght of way, S nnd they consent to It. I know of BBS no reason whatever that would causo J ' I uno to consider resigning. I honest- BB ly seek election and If I succeed, I BBB expect to remain In olTlco for tho HVJ J "Sull term, and will perform tho du- Ittttttm tics of tho ofllco to tho best of my ability.
