PHILPOT YIELDS TO
DEMAND OF Friends
POPULAR COUNTY JUDGE WILL
MAKE THE RACE FOR RE.
ELECTION Al THE PRI-
MARY.
Has Given the Public Good Service
and r. One OF the Best Judges
In the State.

Are you going to make the race for
reelection to the office of county
and probate iudge?" asked a repre-
sentative of the Graphic yesterday
of Judge C. NJ. Philpot, who has
been urged by friends for weeks to
serve another term in that office.
Eyes, after giving the matter care
full consideration and after being
solicited by many friends from all
over the county, | feel that it is for
the best interest of the taxpayers that
| again be elected to the office OF
county and probate judge
This was the definite answer OF
Judge Philpot and as it was made in
the presence of several friends, who
we're in his office at the court house
to induce him to seek reelection, it
brought smile of relief from all of
them. I'll.
Judge ,Philpot is one of the best
county judges that Jefferson county
has ever had. His administration has
been careful and at all time has he
acted for the best interests OF the
county aid it's people-especially the
taxpayers. He is leader in this
state in the good roads movement
and through his systematic and eco
nomical administration of affairs
jefferson county has saved thous-
ands of dollars that have been vast
ed in various county departments
in previous years. Previous to his
election to the county judgeship,
Judge Philpot was sheriff and col
lector for four years and previosuly
had served Vaugine township as con-
stable for six years. Under his care
full and business like methods of con-
Quoting office he brought county
script to par during this year and
much good work has been accom-
plished in road and bridge building
through his giving them his personal
attention. He has given the farmers
of this county the best roads they
have ever had and in conducting the
business of the probate and county
courts he has used fine judgement
and has given general satisfaction
in all of his rulings.
Judge Philpot had about decided to
quit politics, but realizing that his
services have been most valuable to
the people and the county, friends
have practically forced him to make
the race again and continue in the
county judges office for another
term, at least. Every year of his
administration has shown added i'm
provements in the affairs OF the
county over which he has jurisdic-
ton. No one can point to one official
act of his that has not been charac-
terized by honesty and extreme care,
and always for the interest of the
taxpayers of the county. He is
nlSn tOIcu ScHlAeuloA' oA0 "o ~
fleets credit upon the office he holds
and the people who have honored
him. Judge Philpots record IS
enough to recommend him to the
voters for another term. The custom
of keeping good men in office ought
to be lived up to in this race, for
Judge Philpot's services merit further
honors at the hands of the DEM
ocratic party, to which he has al
ways been loyal. The Graphic takes
pleasure in submitting his candidacy
to the voters for their support and
influence. No higher type man could
offo. For an honor at their hands,
