To The Voters of Sixth Supreme
Judicial District of Texas:
i take this means of announc-
ing my candidacy for the office
of Associate justice of the Court
of Civil Appeals for the Sixth
Supreme Judicial District, locat-
ed at Texaik.sna, Texas, and in
doing so 1 think it proper to
make the following statement
with reference thereto:
I am a Democrat and believe
in all of the traditions of my
party. I was born and reared in
Harri >>>n County, Texas;, and at
it-lis time f~*SHniearly forty-
eight yeftis of age. In 1910 I
graduated from the Law Depart-
ment of the University of Texas,
In 1912 I was elected to the of-
fice of County Attorney of Har-
rison Couniy and served until
the first day of December, 1918
During this Time the County At-
torney perfopned all tbo duties
of the District Attorney. On
December 1st, 1918, I "voluntar-
ily" retired and returned to the
people- who had honored me,
•"fcheiii;" commission. For the
next ten years I was engaged in
the general pi'aetice of law with
Joe s. BW i B. Ilall
Frank Scot*/ I James T. Casey,
In 1928 I Jp * jojected to'the of-
flee, .of !CWR. Judge of the
Seven ty-lNBff^Tst rict, c ompr i s-
ing Gregg m>d Harrison Coun-
ties, and ifllanuary, 193:?, was
appointed Hi? id ing Judf^J of
the First Administrative District
of Texas. Since my election to
the office ot\£>istrict JudgM the
tremendous K^Bt Texas Oil Field
has been opefjed which has in-
sulted in an uWpi V-edenMl
amount of litigation in Gregg
County. I had charge of -.the
trial of this litigation in Gregg
County, with the aid < f a few
visiting judgoir, from February
1931, the beginning of the Oil
Boom, until August of the same
year. Du thin tima I kept
the Gregg County Court almost
in continuous session, and since
August,-JfltSMji have given to
Gregg County! about twice the
amount of Court allowed that
County by Ih'a Statute. With
the tireless work of resident
judges and Ihje splendid help of
visiting iudms, the civil and
criminal • dockets of Gregg
County have been carried on to
the satisfaction of both attor-
neys and linTranT:" Thus it can
be seen that I have had a great
deal of experi$nee in the trial of
both civil anS criminal matters
during my tannic of over five
FOR ASSOCIATE
:r!?ir::„appeals
years as District Judge.
If you honor me with thio posi-
tion I promise thut I will, to the
| best of my ability, apply t'be law
o all litigation that might come
before me with fairness and im-
partiality, always remembering
| my oath of office. I favor
shorter opinions by thw Courts
with t'"e law clearly and succi
nctly stated and it shall be my
constant ambition and controll-
ing purpose to conduct this of-
fice with fairness to all parties
regardl'ess of their lstation in
life. I emphatically state that I
will never knowingly favor any
litigant over another, either d!r-
'ectly or indirectly, nor will I
knowingly render a decision,
based upon pilitieal expediency.
With regard to my qualifica-
tions for this office I clietefrully
refer the voters of this District
to any of the attorneys in Texas
or e^ewhere w^io have ^tried
cases in the Court over which I
preside.
