REPLY OF DISTJlTTYJNO. D. ROBINSON
Letter of Mr. John B. Durrett Misleading
d Erroneous.

(AdT«rtUement).
I alnccNly ngnt that my compMI
tor In h!a tfwpcntloa to further bis
political fortune* hu deemed It nec-
mmrr la thla eanpalsn for the high
office of District Judge, to make the
character of attack upon me that be
kn made and publlabed aa political
adrertlaement over thla county. I de-
precate thla character of campaigning
and thla method of attempting to
gather political laurela at the die*
paragement of another, and I call the
public to wltneaa that this has been
tkvw.t upon me and out of Justice
to pyaelf and my friends, I am forc-
ed to adopt this method of replying
briefly to Ifc i } i J1 I , ij ? ...
*| would, however, paas It aa the ef-
fort of a drowning man to catch at
straws were It not for the misleading
aad erroneous statements that It con-
taltts.
The first pertinent queetlons sug-
gested by his letter are: If Mr. Dur-
rett is the superior lawyer that be
Claims to be why the necessity of
such an attack upon me to win the
Judgeship? Why if possessed of such
ability aa be claims do not his fellow
citizens note It and regard It? Why
have they refused Co do In the past,
though they have had many oppor-
tunities? Merit needs no one to intro-
duce it, and ,certainly not he who
claims to possess such an abundance
of it. It Is true that Mr. Durrett has
practiced law twice as many years as
I have( but this does not necessarily
mean either fitness or qualification.
It may be true that in the years gone
by Mr. Durrett has had a great many
cases, but during the five and one-
half years that I have been the Dis-
trict Attorney he has had but two
contested criminal cases in the Dis-
trict Court. I am willing to leave the
question of fitness to my fellow clti-
sans without comment for myself,
and I am willing to accept their ver-
dict and have no fears as to the re-
ault.
(1) Mr. Durrett charges that I
have failed to bring auits on liquor
dealers bonds, In violation of my du-
ty.
This Is the simplest demagoglsm.
No man knows better than Mr. Dur-
rett that In Bell County, the control
of the liquor business, has always
been attached to the office of the
County Attorney, and that that offi-
cer has always attended to the prose-
cutions of all violators of the liquor
taws. The ten cases referred to by
Mr. Durrett were filed by Mr. Hill,
and Mr. Durrett Joined him In the
After these suits were filed, not
ona of them came to trial, but all
hav been or will be dismissed by the
State ( with not one cent having been
recovered for the State. Mr. Hill
did not solicit me to aid him, nor
did he ask the assistance of any oth-
er person. These suits were filed
upon information that came private-
ly to Mr. Hill, or from investigation
made by him in Justice Court, and I
knew nothing of It whatever. In ad-
dition to the ten per cent allowed to
the county attorney by law as a fee
for bringing these suits, when Mr.
Durrett Joined In the cases he had
his representative to go before tbe
Commissioners Court of Bell County
to secure for him an additional fee,
which that court properly refused.
Mr. Hill, the county attorney,
makes tbe following statement of this
matter:
Belton, Tex., June 6, 1908.
Mr. Jno. D. Robinson, Belton, Tex.
Dear 8Ir:—In response to a request
from you for a statement of the facts
relating to the filing of the suits on
liquor dealers bonds filed by me In
the District Court, I will state that
the evidence on which most of these
cases was based, was obtained In in-
vestigations and prosecutions of Crim-
inal cases in the Justice Court and
from private Individuals. That In no
instance did I consult or advise with
you as to the filing of these suits, nor
did I Inform you of my intention to
file same. I gave you no Invitation
to Join qie in these suits, nor did I
seek the aid of any other person, but
Mr. Durrett Joined me In the cases,
having been consulted by private In-
dividuals regarding violations by liq-
uor dealers, In the first of these cas-
es filed. I felt that the responsibil-
ity for the enforcement of the laws
regarding the liquor traffic rested
upon the County Attorney and I had
no disposition to shift the responsi-
bility. Tours very truly,
E. I. HILL,
County Attorney.
I have never shunned any official
duty, neither have I tried to fill both
the office of the County and District
Attorney. I have thought It proper
to always assist the County Attor-
ney, If requested to do so, but I have
not felt It my duty to attempt any
direction of his affairs.
(J) Mr. Durrstt charges that I
have been a corporation lawyer and
District Attorney at the same time.
When I came to Belton as a young
lawyer, Mr. George W. Tyler render-
ad me needed assistance by giving
ma the use of his office and llbra-
ry. > ■ ■■■: \
In return for this kindness I re-
lieved him of his Justice Court prac-
tice which Included suits against the
M. K. and T. Railway Company of
Texas, Mr. Tyler was the focal attor-
ney for the Company, and furnished
we transportation from the Compa-
ny.
After I was elected District Attor-
ney I continued to represent Mr. Ty-
ler la the Justice Courts when 1 had
the time from my official duties and
whan there was no conflict with my
official duties. This whole matter
was purely a personal one between
xhr. Tyler aad myself and I never had
any connection whatever with the
Company, aad did not receive one cent
of compensation from either Mr. Ty-
ler or the Company. Mr. Durrett
t ys that daring the years 1904, S
« and T, that I appeared as attorney
tor the Railway company as IU coun-
sel In the County Court In fifteen
by citiaeos of Bell
that oorporatton. This
aaver appeared for the
aad T. Hallway Company of
Texaa, In the County Court, either
before or since my election as District
Attorney. Why would Mr. Durrett
publish this kind of matter when If
he had desired to know the truth it
would have been easily accessible?
The following letter from Mr. Tyler
explalna the whole matter:
Belton, Tex., June 4th, 1908.
Hon. Jno. D. Robinson. City.
Dear Sir:—Some yeara ago you
were offlclng with me and as A return
for my courtesy you were kind
enough to relieve me of my Justice
Court practice. This Included cases
in said Courts against the M. K unci
T. Railway Company of Texas.1 (for
which I waa attorney) aa well as oth-
er caaes. For this you received no
compensation whatever, beyond the
use of my office and library, and to
this yon would have been welcome
anyway.
You were not employed by the
Company in these matters and never
were. It was entirely a personal mat
ter between you and me. In all cases
that were appealable (and most of
theWi were) no contest was made In
the Justice Court. You slmly heard
and reported the evidence produced
there, and on your report of the ev-
idence to me, and by me to the Com-
pany, the case was either settled by
the Company or appealed to the Coun-
ty Court, where I alone appeared and
tried the case, and you never did ap-
pear for me In the'County Court in
these cases.
Upon my request, and without any
arrangement with you the Company
furnished me transportation for you,
but the nature of your arrangement
with me was unknown to the Com-
pany, which looked to me alone to at-
tend to these matters.
After your election to District At-
torney it was understood that you
would continue to relieve me of the
burdens of these Justlce"*Court cases,
provided you had the time from your
official duties, and where there was
no conflict with your official duty,
and so understanding you did repre-
sent me, when you had the'time, In
Justice Courts up to about two years
ago at which time Wallace Tyler
became my partner and he has atten-
ded to them ever since.
You were never the attorney for
the Company In any of these matters
nor In any other matter but simply
acted for me as a personal courtesy
and accommodation to me. Am sur-
prised that anyone would seek to
use this matter against you In your
race for District Judge, or otherwise
as there Is nothing In It.
Very truly yours,
GEO. W. TYLER.
(3) Mr. Durrett, when comparing
the "work of Mr. Shannon and Mr.
KInnard with that of myself Is very
erroneous and misleading. The cer-
tificate of District Clerk John G.
McKay, shows what was done by
each, and It Is here given.
Belton, Tex., June 4, 1908
Mr. Jno. D. Robinson. District Attor-
ney, Belton, Texas. Dear Sir:—As
per your request I have gone over the
Criminal Minutes of Bell County, In-
cluding the six and one-half years
during which Mr. W. T. Shannon
was the District Attorney, and the
four years during which Mr. J. ,P.
KInnard was the District Attorney,
and the five and one-half years dur-
ing which you have been the Dis-
trict Attorney, and the minutes show
the following number of criminal
cases tried and disposed of by each
of you, on Conviction, Pleas of Guilty
and AcquUta'4
Mr. Shannon, In six and one-half
years, had 166 convictions, of these
36 were pleas of guilty. He had In
the same time 52 acquittals In con-
tested cases.
Mr. KInnard In four years had 119
convictions, 36 of which were pleas
of guilty. He had In the same time
42 acquittals on contested oases.
You have had In five and one-half
years 137 convictions, 89 of which
were pleas of guilty. You have had
In the Bame time 25 acquittals.
STATE OF TEXAS,
COUNTY OF BELL:—I, John G. Mc-
Kay, Clerk of the District Court of
Bell County, Texas, certify that the
foregoing statement of felony cases
disposed of In the District Court of
Bell County, by W. T. Shannon, J,
P. KInnard and Jno. D. Robinson,
during their respective terms or of-
fice as District Attorneys, 1b true as
shown by the records of this office
to the best of my knowledge and be-
lief.
Witness my hand and seal of office
this the 4th day of June, A. D. 1908.
(SEAL) JNO. G. McKAY,
District Clerk. Bell County, Tex.
It
Mr. Durrett says that I have had
28 final convictions in oontested cas-
es and 30 acquittals. The record
shows that I have had 48 final con-
victions and 25 acquittals. It is
true that I have not had as many
contested casos as either Mr. Shan-
non or Mr. KInnard, the reason for
this being that I have had more pleas
of guilty than both of them. This
Is not to their disparagement, but I
believe it is to my credit. This rec-
ord shows also that the per cent of
convictions in contested cases is
about oqual. In the six and one-half
years Mr. Shannon hnd 36 pleas of
guilty. In four years Mr. KInnard
had 86 pleas of guilty. The two had
In ten and one-half years, 72 pleas
of guilty. In five and one-half years
I have had 89 pleas of guilty, or 17
more pleas of guilty than two Dis-
trict Attorneys had in ten and one-
half years. What does this record
mean? It means that I have atten-
ded to my cases from the beginning,
preserving the evidence from the be-
ginning of each case by attending ex-
amining trials.
It means more than that. It means
that thousands of dollars In Jury ser
vice has been saved to Bell County
during my administration over that
of either Mr. Shannon or Mr. Kin-
nard's administration, and hundreds
of dollars in Jury service over both
of them.
It means also a speedy disposition
of criminals, and they have gone out
of the Jails, and the certificate of
the County Clerk shows a saving of
.nearly 12,000.00 In boarding prlson-
ers during four years preceding my
administration and four years of my
administration under practically the
same conditions and costs of keeping
prisoners.
Mr, Durrett charges that my ad-
ministration has been an extrava-
gant ooa, compares it with that of
Mr. Shannon and Mr. KInnard and
cltea the collection
faaa and habeas
lead the public to believe that I had
received enormous sums for my ser
vices as District Attorney. I have
collected no fee that I did not earn
under tbe law, and 1 believe the pub-
lic want their officials to have what
the law allows them. The following
letter from the Comptroller of the
State of Texas will show what I have
received from the day I have served
as District Attorney. I receive uo
fees from the State that are not first
approved by the District Judge and
then ullowed by tbe Comptroller.

ney, Belton. Texus. Dear Sir:—The

STATE OF TEXAS,
COUNTY of TRAVIS:
I, J. W. Stephens, Comptroller of
Public accounts of the State of Tex-
as, do hereby certify that the above
nd foregoing are the true and correct
amounts paid by the State of Texas
to John D. Robinson, District Attor-
ney as fees for representing the State
In felony cases in the Counties of
Bell and Lampasas during the peri-
od of time embraced between the first
day of January, 1903, and the 19th
day of May, 1908, both Inclusive as
shown by the official records of this
department.
In testimony of which, I hereto sign
my name and cause the seal of my of-
fice to be affixed, this, the 19th day
of May, A. D. 1908.
J. W. STEPHENS,
Comptroller.
This Is an average for the five and
one-half years of my service to the
state of a little more than $1300
fees per annum. Add to this the sal-
ary of $500 and it is a little over
$1800.00 per annum that I have re-
ceived from the State for all the ser-
vice that I have rendered, both In
Lampasas and Bell Counties. THIS
IS FROM $500 TO $1000 LESS THAN
THE AVERAGE COUNTY OFFICER
RECEIVES IN BELL COUNTY, and
$600 J^Bs than any other District At-
torney In the State Is receiving under
the law as passed by the last Legis-
lature.
The salary of $500 attached to the
office of the District Attorney will
hardly more than pay the necessary
expenses of the office.
Does this look like a black land
farm to any one except Mr. Durrett?
Mr. Durrett charges an extravagant
practice In habeas corpus and exam-
ining trial fees. The law provides
a fee of $5.00 to the County or Dis-
trict Attorney for attending exam-
ining trials, and $20.00 for repre-
senting the State where one charged
with a felony has a habeas corpus
trial. The reason that Mr. Shannon
did not collect examining trial fees
was because he did not earn them.
The same Is largely true of Mr. KIn-
nard. When they served as the Dis-
trict Attorneys the District was com-
posed of four counties and they were
away much of the time attending
court in other counties, and the Coun-
ty Attorney of Bell county was at-
tending these examining trials and
the State was puying hltn for his
services. There being only .two coun-
ties In the District now, Ixhave at-
tended practically all examining
trials In Bell County, have earned
and collected the foes allowed by law.
in Lampasas County the County At-
torney has attended nil examining
trials and collected all fees for such
services from the State. The Consti-
tution of the United States provides
that "The privilege of the writ of
Habeas Corpus shall not be suspen-
ded, unless in caBes of rebellion and
invasion the public snfety may re-
quire It." It Is declared to be a writ
of right and can be resorted to by all
men under arrest or Imprisonment,
who desire to secure Its benefits.
Art. 165, Code of Criminal Proceed-
ure of Texas, provides, "The writ of
Habeas Corpus shall be granted with-
out delay by the Judge or Court re-
ceiving the petition, unless It be man-
ifest by the statements of the peti-
tion itself, or some documents an-
nexed to It, that the person Is enti-
tled to no relief whatever."
A petition for the writ, of Habeas
Corpus In proper form and sworn to
by a defendant alleging proper
grounds of complaint cannot under
the law be refused by the Court.
Whenever these suits are filed by at-
torneys, In the defense of their cli-
ents, (and Mr. Durrett filed one of
them In the defense of one of the two
clients ho has had during my term
of office) It Is made the District At-
torney's duty, by law, to attend and
represent the State. 8hall he collect
the fee allowed by law? Would Mr,
Durrett collect It If he were the Dis-
trict Attorney?
Mr. Durrett pledges himself. If elec-
ted District Judge to stop this prac-
tice. Will he direct. Justice of the
Peace to stop holding examining
trials? The law provides that they
shall do so. Will he direct attorneys
how to defend their clients, or will
he suspend the right of the Writ of
Habeas Corpus In violation of the
Constitution and Bill of Rights and
send their clients to Jail and deny
them the right of the writ of Habeas
Corpus and keep them there until In
his judgment they are entitled to re-
lief?
My fellow citizens—t have served
you as District Attorney as faith-
fully and as efficiently as I have had
the power and ability to do. For the
honors that you have bestowed upon
me In the past I am grateful. I am
asking you to promote me to the Dis-
trict Judgeship, because I feel con-
scious of my ability to serve you, and
I pledge the same faithful service
there that I have rendered In the
past. The opportunity that It af-
fords. for greater service will be, If
you honor me with It, Its greatest
reward.
I ask It at your hands upon my own

JOHN
D. R<
A Warning For Texas.
From Houston Post.
The defeat of Governor Hoke
Smith by Joseph M. Brown, in
Georgia, will attract the atten-
tion of the whole,, country
because it indicates that in
Georgia, at least, the wave of
extreme radicalism which has
swept the entire country during
recent years has commenced to
recede. Governor Smith wag
elected governor two years ago
by a tremendous plurality on a
platform demanding heroic treat-
ment of corporations and other
business interests and his cam-
paign for re-election was based up
on a record in office that was con
sistent with his campaign pro-
mises. Ordinarily he was entitled
to a relection. But it seems that
the people had changed their
minds. Upon the advent of hard
times it was seen that thepolicis
of Govenor Smith were entirely
too severe, ,in that they necessi-
tated readjustments that largely
curtailed business and industrial
activity and restricted the em-
ployment of labor. It was seen
that influence tending to upset
the prosperty of invested capital
were alike destructive to the
general prosperity, and progress
was halted to such an extent that
the people were convinced that
their'own welfare and the genaai
progress of the State required
relaxation of the harsh res-
trictions which had been applied
with so much vigor. Georgia is
not the only State that has suf-
fered from a too radical policy to-
ward invested capital. There are
other commonwealths in which
works of development have been
paralyzed because of the timidity
of capital in the presence of an
apparently radical and hostile
public sentiment, and because of
a tendency to impose upon all
forms of busines heavier burdens
than can be profitably borne. The
people of these commonwealths,
like the people of Georgia, are
beginning to see that, after reg-
ulation, equitable taxation and a
conservative adjustment of the
relations between the State and
the intereststheStatemust regu-
late and control will best promote
the progress and welfare of all
cencerned, and avoid violent in-
terruption of those activities up-
on which all must depend for
prosperity. Many public menacc
apt to forget in striving for pub-
lic favor that capital and labor
are interdependent. In their zeal
to win public approval they are
too apt at times to indulge prom-
ises the fulfillment ot which must
impose injustice and frequently
misfortune upon the people them
selves. It is the overdoing of
thingK that is most harmful at
times for it frequently creates a
system of applying remedies
yriiich are far more disastrous
Chan the ills the remedies are
designed to cure. It is a pity that
the solution of our problems can
not always be approached in a
spirit of temperance, wisdom and
justice, especially where the busi-
ness,industry andprogressivede-
velopment of people are involved.
There is always a safe ground
upon which to deal with public
questions, where justice and
moderation may be exfcrcised
and where the conservation of the
public welfare may be effected.
These truths come home to the
people ultimately. The object
lessons which painful experience
forces upon them are conducive
to serious, Conservative thinking
and the Georgia people have evi-
dently been studiously contemp-
lating the natural relation be-
tween cause and effect. Therefore
in withholding a re-election from
Governor Smith they have indi-
cated to return to a policy \ of
moderation and conservatism
rather than purse the pathway
of radicalism upon which they
temptation to radical experimen-
tation was irresistible. And
what has happened in Georgia
may be repeated in many other
States before the country's busi-
ness and industrial equilibrium
is completely restored.
