trict, and these friends and support
ers are confined to no one party.
During these years the writer has
been in position to closely follow
the course Judge Shackleford has
taken, and our eyes were not always
those of a friendly critic. but often
were those of one who differed radi-
cally tas he does today with the
judge on political questions. Never
theless, in all fairness and truthful
ness, we contend that during these
years Judge ShaCkleford has. proven
himself to be conscientious jurist,
hard-working, anxious to be just in
every litigation, and in every trial,
sincere and reasonable in his rulings.
and guided at all times by the desire
to be fair and to be strictly in ac-
cordance with the law in his deci-
sions.
The Seventh judicial District is
perhaps the busiest district. with the
largest volume of business, presided
over by any one district Judge in
Colorado. The court sessions of the
seven counties are arduous, import
ant and lengthy, and sufficient to
tax the physical strength OF any
man, and yet Judge Shackleford has
been at his post of duty year in and
year out, and any unbiased investi-
cation will show that the court at
tairs of the Seventh Judicial District
Were never more thoroly administer
ed tnan under the direction of Judge
ShaCkleford.
There are those who. purely for
personal reasons, are seeking to
bring about the defeat OF Judge
Shackleford for reelection. We do
not refer to those who differ with
Judge Shackleford purely on politi-
cal grounds, and who are Tor another
candidate, because that candidate
represents the party with whicn they
are affiliated. We simply urge that
the voter who is ldmonisned ny some
one who has a persoUIl motive for
Cpl osing Judge Shackleford to in
yestigate that motive. TO lind Just
why that person wouii IKE to defeat
Jldge Shackleford. before that voter
makes VI his or her miul.

terests OF the people of this section,
than Judge Shackleford, and his six
years service on the bench, added to
his long residence in this District
combine in an eloquent argument
and sound reason for his reelection.
Every voter should consider these
things, and the writer urges that ov-
! cry argument that is advanced
against the reelection of Judge
Sprigg Shackleford be thoroly inves-
I tigated, and we conscientiously be-
lieye that such an Investigation will
never prove unfavorable to Judge
shackletord. A DEMOCRAT.
