Circuit on the 23rd of November,
for the unexpired term of Hon.
Hubert Calhoun, who resigned to
enter the Armed Services, which
term expires on January 1, 1945.
My commission was issued accord
ing to law to expire on the first
day of January, 1945. Upon being
sworn in as Solicitor General, 1
gave up the general practice of
law.
Since entering upon the dis-
Califor-I cbarge of my dut Y as Solicitor
torpedo- General of this Circuit, I have en
deavored to the very best of my
ability, faithfully, conscientiously,
and fearlessly to represent the
people of this Circuit.
It has been a pleasure and
honor to have served and I feel
deeply indebted to the people for
the honor bestowed upon me. I
wish to take this opportunity to
thank each and every person in
this Circuit.
It now comes time for me to an
nounce my candidacy for the four
year term, beginning January 1,
1945. I would like to be permitted
to serve for this term, and I will
appreciate an endorsement by the
people. I believe the work I have
done and the experience that I
have gained by virtue of having
served for the past two years
qualify me to render even more
valuable service to the people. I
If elected, I shall do all within \
my power, in keeping with the
confidence and trust placed in me,
to continue to serve honestly,
faithfully and to the very best of
my ability. I shall always ad
here to law enforcement, keeping
in mind at all times that it is the
duty of the State's Attorney to
prosecute the guilty and never
the innocent. That the discovery
of the truth is the basis of all
rain justice.
To this end I wish to solicit the
support and influence of every
person in the Chattahoochee Ju
dicial Circuit.
Respectfully,
ED WOHLWENDER.
