have known Judge =. North Cullom long and weii. y
For many years we have enjoyed his acquaintance
and friendship. An honester man does moi Breathe
There are few who equal him in knowledge of The
law and none who excel him in desire and deter
minaton to administer the laws faithfully, wisely
and mercifully. AS citizen he has ever stood r-
reproachably in the eyes of his feow-neri. As q
lawyer he ranked with the best and highest and as
Judge he has won golden opinions from all good
people. Had not the Legislature reconstructed his
district he would have been reelected without opr
position. As it Is, his own large parish will give
him well.nigh an unanimous vote; and in the other
parishes he will become equally esteemed as soon
as his noble qualities as man, and his surpassing
excellence as judge are as well known to the
people therein as they to the people Of his own
parish and of his old judicial District ; 3
Weno submit the article from the Marksyle
Organ:
THE APPROACHING ELECTION FOR DIsrRIcF
JuDGE.--The people Of this Judicial District shall
be called upon next April to select whose duty
it shall be to preside tribunal OF Justice.
They should now begin to look around for a suit
able person to fill that important and high trust.
Old party issues, we hope, are now entirely abr
liberated among US. In choosing Jadge, We
should not let the eontaminating influences OF those
old issues be our guide. We have ever eontended
that whilst we were divided by past political diff
ferences that partisan feeling and spirit should not
bias our better Judgments in the selection OF
Judge. That axiom of magnanimity of feeling, as
Il high personal tribute and respect TO ability, was
the guide of the people OF Ayoyelles. three years
ago. when they then refused to be fettered by any
party ties. We feel confident that they hove now
no regrets for their selection. Judge Gnllon has
given them universal satisfaction. His stern love
for justice has endeared him to the people of our
parish. We, therefore, without his knowledge or y
consent take the liberty of presenting his name to
the people of this Judicial District, tAyoyelles,
Point Coup6e, West Feliciana and West Baton
Rouge) as candidate for the position which be is
so emnently qualified for. Weare coniident that
should he consent to be a candidate, that the pee-
pie will ratify our course and sustain him Triumph
| antly.
1t must also be borne in mind that the creole
population in this Judicial District Is very large
that many of them can but imperfeetIy speak the
English language, and we should endeayor, in oar
selection of a judge, get one who is congefsant m
both languages. Now we will say, that You may
search the whole District and you CANNOT lind one
better suited for the iudgeship than Judge r. n.
Culiom. He speaks aud writes the French Ian
guage fuenty. We do not wish to pc nnderstood
to say that there are none other qualified tor the
position. We know many who would hIlSthe post
tion with honor and credit. But Judge 6nom has
been tried, and has proven himself worthy OF our
/ confidence. lie wears the judicial ernine with
becoming dignity, and why should he not continue
in the position he now holds with so much dignity
and honor. And now, citizens and voters, We
present You his name for your decision. Wall YOU
not be actuated by the same motives which
prompted youthfee years aSo3 We trust you VIII.
