For several years I have devoted my time to law enforcement and criminal identification and have successfully investigated some of the most outstanding criminal cases in Adams county. I have patroled our highways at night for the past six and one half years, thereby helping to reduce rural thefts to a minimum. I personally solicited funds for the State Police Radio in Adams County . . . the most modern and efficient arm added to law enforcement agencies throughout the world. It serves the public efficiently and is on a twenty-four hour daily service to the citizens of Adams County. In August, 1935. I graduated from the First Indiana State Police School held at Indianapolis. On December 9th, 1937, I graduated from the school of Public Safety, conducted at Purdue University. After completion of this course, I personally examined and instructed 1,550 Drivers License applicants. At the request of my many friends in Adams County, I recently resigned my position as an Indiana State Police to seek the nomination of Sheriff of Adams County on the Democratic Ticket so as i to be of service to you at all times and be home with my friends and family. I served overseas 18 months with the Rainbow Division and was wounded in the battle of the Aisne Marne; I was also decorated with the Order of the Purple Heart. It is a pleasure to serve you. I feel my exeprience as a Police officer merits your support and qualifies me to render you a better service as to economy and efficiency. Sincerely yours, Burl Johnson No. 31 on the Democratic County Ballot. Pol. advt. i
