JUDGE W|NFREY
IN THE RACE
A TRIED AND TRUE FRIEND TO
EVERY CITIZEN, AND A MAN
WHO RANKS HIGH.

There is no necessity of Carter
county voters taking chances in the
nomination of a man for county judge,
when there is a candidate before
them who has been tried and who
has not been found wanting.
Judge NJ. f. Winfrey, who served
as second county judge after state
hood, becomes a candidate for re-elec-
ton. He takes rank with the best
lawyers in this section Of the state.
He is also one Of the cleanest men
in the county, in his private life, and
In his dealings with his neighbors
The fact that he tried 335 criminal
and 17S civil cases for this county.
and out of that vast number that
were reviewed by the supreme court,
every case was affirmed except two
minor cases. That is a record that
is equal to, if not beyond, any other
record ever made in any county in
the state. The fact that he kept his
official records well was demonstra-
ted by the fact that when his ac-
counts were audited by the state, that
Carter county owed him the small
sum of $21.5S, and he owed the
county nothing. There had been only
some slight errors, and he had given
the people the advantage of small
cases of doubt, where a few dollars
were involved, instead of taking them
for himself That record, too, is Just
what it ought to be of every public
man, but every public man does not
have such a record. Besides trying
these criminal and civil cases he pre-
sided over the probate court and over
the juvenile court. He was at his
desk every working day during his
term of office-he never left the coun-
ty while he was its judge. He never

his time and received every minute

as possible in order to do the work
well and his successor, who promised

ne could tc carry out his pledge

The county Judge is judge of the |
