STRONG CANDIDATE
Attorney Samuel H. Jubelirer,
Blair County's prominent criminal
attorney, ia the logical choice for
the office of District Attorney.
Have you ever given serious consideration to the qualifications necessary foir the candidate for tho
office of Blair County's District Attorney?
For the betterment of Blair County from the standpoints of building
American citizenship ta lowering
ths County's (-rime rate and removing the cause of crime from our
midst, the District Attorney's office
and the man elected to meet tte
problems of that office are of fun-
demental importance.
A district Attorney, while he
must have abilities as a vigorous and
able prosecutor, must also be prepared by experience and education
to handle numerous items which are
sometimes thought unimportant.
A District Attorney is judgea
from results and succeae proven by
his record. The man elected by the
County's voters ahould alao be
judged by his past record.
There are numerous cardinal virtues which a candidate for tee office of District Attorney should
posesa. Among these might be mentioned: Fairness - Experience - Education • Training • Honesty • Integrity - Independence and by eh\
means a record ta the Courts which
speaks for itself.
In Attorney Samuel H. Jubelirer
who ns widely recognized for his
abilities, not only in criminal and
homicide cases, but in all types of
law practice can ba found all these
cardinal virtues, a record * ta the
Blair Courts without reproach, and
also may be added traits, such aa a
vivid personality which appeals to
tee wrongdoer and tea wronged, a
willingness to understand tte average man and a forcefulness which
would make any real criminal shrink
in fear of what he realizes will be
his fate.
