SHOULD &c REELECTED
Why Each Member ofthe Court Of

Jas. A. Graham, of Amarillo,
and Judge II. G. Hendricks. of
Amarillo, has announced as a
candidate against Associate JUS

not be elected to succeed him.
self.
The people of this district have
just cause to be proud of the
record made by our new court of
civil appeals at Amarillo, since
during the first five months of its
service it has disposed of one
hundred and thirty-two cases.
while the average number of
cases disposed of by each of the
other seven courts of criminal
appeals, they all being old courts
except the one at ElPaso, is one
hundred and fifteen cases during
the same period, the highest
number of cases disposed Of by
either of the other seven courts
being one hundred and eighteen.
During said five months only
four writs of error were granted
by the supreme court TO our court
Of civil appeals at Amarillo, thus
showing our court has erred in
only four decisions out of the one
hundred and thirty-two cases dis
posed of, whereas, the average
number of writs granted 10 the
other seven courts of civil APP
peals during the same period was
seven.
Considering the fact that our
court began work without any
