Democrat Schwartz said she decided to challchge Delhey when she "became familiar with his record." She said the state appellate courts have chastized the county prosecutor's office on several occasions. For example, she said, "In a 1978 case involving a breaking and entering conviction, the court .actually threatened personal disciplinary action if the prosecutor's misconduct continued." But Delhey, who has held the post since 1964, is proud of the conviction record compiled by his office. He said his staff prosecutes more than 1,000 cases a year with a 91 percent convic- tion rate. THE PROSECUTOR'S office is in- volved with preventing crime also, Delhey explained. The investigation of specific crimes, such as bicycle theft and burglaries, will make thieves "think tw ice" before committing them, he added. The prosecutor said crimes against people, forcible crimes such as rape and assault, crimes against personal property, armed robbery, and nar- cotics are the crimes that are the most important to prosecute. Schwartz said she would focus on convicting "serious, assaultive, dangerous criminals." Consumer fraud cases would also be given high priority if she is elected, she said.

Republican Yorks, 45, said she decided to run for the position because "not enough attention was paid to the amount of money the office (controls)." The accounting process, she claimed, is not well-run. Yorks has worked for Washtenaw County for twenty years in the Health and Public Works Departments. Her opponent, 34-year-old Murray, is a former energy co-ordinator for Washtenaw County. Murray, a Democrat, said he believes the office should be concerned with both en- vironmental problems and possible severe budget cutbacks. "The drain commissioner's task will be to protect the quality of the county's physical environment under tight budget restrictions which may become worse in the future," Murray said. While working with the Wayne Coun- ty Health Department, Murray said he dealt with erosion control, solid waste management, and on-site sewage disposal. Clerk Democrat Rose Marie Melton, assistant manager of the West Bank Holiday Inn, is challenging Republican incumbent Robert Harrison for the post of Washtenaw County Clerk. Melton, 25, advocates the use of com- puters, and personnel cutbacks, because she said she does not believe the county clerk needs a 32-person staff. Melton said she would like to hold "public forums" so the public will have a voice in county affairs. "This would give the clerk's office a better under- standing of the public's needs," she said. Harrison, 52, said his major goal is "to keep the office in innovative change, in order to. deal with the demands of the public." The only major problem in his office is space, he said. He added that he has suggested altering the record-keeping system so-that part will be on microfilm and part will be computerized. Register -of Deeds Register of Deeds, Republican Patricia Hardy, is being challenged by Democrat Angie Jones Veigel. Hardy, 58, has served as the Register of Deeds for 26 years. She has called for changes in equipment and personnel, and said some budget cuts are forth- coming. But Hardy admits that finding areas to cut spending will be difficult since much of the office work is routine." Veigel, 52, said her main goal in office would be to "initiate a computerized index service (because) it's time to up- date the register of deeds." She added that she ,has heard various realtors complain about the lack of efficiency in the office. A 16-year veteran in the Washtenaw County government, Veigel has served as both Deputy County Clerk and Probate Clerk. For the past ten years, she has operated a public stenography business.

Salyer said he is seeking the sheriff position because he is "firmly convin- ced that the present sheriff's depar- tment is not operated with a view to ob- taining the maximum efficient use of tax dollars." Minick said he is running for a second term because his department has per- formed well and he would like to con- tinue as sheriff. He acknowledged that crimes committed in Washtenaw Coun- ty have increased this year, but blamed much of the increase on the economy. "The economy is kicking the hell out Salyer, Minick compete for county sheifsseat t I I .1 1 REPUBLICAN Ronald Reagan George Bush Opposes. Wants con- stitutional amen- dment to ban it.

But, he added, there still would be crime even if the economy wasn't on a downturn. "There will always be someone else coveting other people's goods," he said.
