GEORGE ACRET, Prosecuting Attorney of Grays Harbor county, has made a good
record in his official capacity.  Mr Acret was born in New York, in 1886.  His
education was had in the public schools and in the University of Wisonsin.  He
located in Aberdeen in 1910.  Mr. Acret is Prosecuting Attorney of Grays
Harbor county, and has established a splendid record as such, notwithstanding
he has encountered much opposition. During the World War he served with the
first aero squadron on flying duty.  Candidly speaking, I do not think there
can be any doubt but what Mr. Acret has made one of the most alert prosecuting
attorneys the county has had and I am basing this statement, not only upon
what other members of the bar have told me, but upon the official records of
that office.  He is progressive and a confincing speaker.  In conduct of
trial, he is relentless in examination and cross examination, although at no
time does he resort of brow beating tactics.  The care with which the state's
cases are prepared, prior to entering court, indicates much time and patience
expended theron.  He wants to know all there is to be know in every case.  If
he has reason to believe that a prisoner is not guilty of the offense charged,
he is just as ready, just as quick, to ask for acquital.  In 1922 he married
Miss Nettie Kaitis.  He is a member of the Elks, Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias, American Legion, and the county and state bar associations. Mr. Acret
is now a candidate for the State Senate, subject to Republicans primaries.
