Thirty yean ago, Judge
James L Perkins was District

served 22 years in all as Dis-
trict Judge.
In 1911, Shelby County was
placed with Panola, Busk and
Gregg in the 4th Judicial Dis-
trict, of which Hon. W. C. Bu-
ford was Judge, he having
succeeded Judge Levy in Au-
gust, 1907. Judge Buford
served until his death in Sep-
tember, 1916, a period of over
9 years, and at the time of his
death had been nominated for
another term, but his death
occurred before the general
election.
Our next District Judge was

just a few months under ap-
pointment.
Then Judge Dsn Walker
was elected, served 2 years as
District Judge and was elect-
ed Justice of the Court of Civil

appointment and since then by
election, and this district has
had no other District Judge.

The salary paid by the State
to every District Judge in the
State is the same. This salary
is fixed by the Legislature and
is now $6,000.00 per year, it
is subject to change np or down

It has been the policy and
practice of the people of this
State all along to keep in of-
fice District Judges who give
satisfactory service, thus re-
taining the benefit of their
ability and legal training and
of their experience on the
bench. In the State as a whole
practically one-half of the Dis-
trict Judgss are now serving
their third items or have
served over three terms. Many
of them have served between
twenty and thirty yean, and
in tho past a few District.
Judges have served for more
than thirty years. This is a,
paid advertisement and to give
you the names of all the Judges
and the length of time they
have served would he too ex-
pensive; however, I give you

Judges now serving and who
have served for a long time,
with their addresses and the
period of their service, to-wit:
Judge W. B. Hopkins, Cor-
pus Christi, Texts, 88 years;
Judge Bruce Young, Fort
Worth, Texas, 26 years; Judge
S. G. Tayloe, San Antonio,
Texas, 27 years; Judge Bal-
lard Coldwell, El Paso, Texas,
JPampa, Texas, 23 years ; j£dge
George L. Davenport, East-
land, Texas, 20 yean; Judge
M. C. Jeffrey; Lockhart,-’Texas,
22 years. These figures are
taken from, letters , from the
Judges named which X- havjg in
my office. ' ■.<
I give these facts-to the citi-
zens of our District, with my
thanks for their cc operation
and support in the past and
for such support in my present
race as the service I have
given may have earned;
My record is my platform.
Yours gratefully,
T. O. Davis.
