ORA L. SMITH For Prosecuting Attorney
No candidate has appeared willing to take chances against Prosecutor O L Smith, the best proof that his work in behalf of the county has been up to the standard demanded by the people. A hard office to fill, but O L Smith has done it and done it well. During his term the county has not paid out a cent for outlays on this office. He has lent his aid to all county officers when royal advice has been asked and without expense. Unless a case had merit it has not come up to be a burden on the taxpayers of the county.
