The Hartford republican., 1914-11-20
Judge Glenn Announces For Circuit
Judge.


Hartford. Ky. Nov. IS. 1914.
To the voters of the Sixth Judicial
District:
| have been solicited by large
number of the Democratic voters OF
Ohio county. and also in each of the
other counties of the District. to be-
come a candidate for the nomination
for Circuit Court Judge at the pri-
mary election, August, 1915.
/ first desire to return my sincere
thanks for the unsolicited support
Of confidence received in this con-
nection and in answer | have to say
that / am a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Judge in this
district, subject To tae action of the
Democratic party az .pe primary,
August, 1915.
IT is proper for me to say 7 have
been Democrat in politics since my /
majority and have always supported |
its policies and candidates. am pro- /
foundly convinced that the interests |
of our Nation are best promoted by !
the enactment of Democratic princi- |
Piles into laws. In success and de- :
feat I have unswervingly sur.nnor,ed
its principles. l believe the Demo.
cratic party is now 81, we'll entrench-
ed in the favor and affections of the
people that large lease of power in
Natiopal affairs is assured to it. To
TIE best of my ability and means !
have contributed to the success OF
my party in every county, State and
National campaign. have never
been a seeker for office, never hav-
ing offered for but one before and
that many years ago-a county Of
fee ! have never held county,
district, State or National office nor
offered for either except as stated.
cannot be accused of having ian
itch for office" | have for several
years had a desire to be the Circuit
Judge of this district. The honor is
great and the emoluments attrac-
tive. | have flattered myself that ]
could discharge the duties with
reasonable degree of satisfaction TO
the people of the District and cred
it to my county and district. In this
view / have been encouraged by my
professional brothers as well as very
many others in the different coun-
ties of the District.
1t is well to note that Ohio coun-
lty. though second in population
and busines in the Court. has new
er had the place. This was not de-
signed or intended but il so happen
ed that Ohio county has never pre-
sented candidate. | ask the gen
erous and fair minded voters of Da-
viess county, and the Sixth Judicial
District, is it not Ohio county's
time? If not, when? For forty
eight years Ohio county has faithful
ly supported Daviess county men
and we ask now a return of the ia
vor. Judges Stewart, Little and Ow-
en-, all Daviess county men. each
served twelve years. When Judge |
Birkhead serves another year he
will have completed two terms,
making in all fOrty-eight years of
continuous holding that office by Da-
viess county men. Is that not Da- |
viess county's reasonable share for
awhile at least?
believe in law and order and in |
the orderly administration of the |
law. / believe in giving a dollars |
worth of service for every dollar i'm
salary. / never drew a salary, but
such is my belief. believe that ev-
cry one who appeals to the law for
redress of real or fancied wrongs is
entitled to have his case heard pa
tiently and impartially. without fear
or favor to him or his attorneys and
without regard to whether he is
poor or rich or his case great or
small. Courts are organized for
but one purpose-to do what is
right between parties.
The office is an exalted one. But
the Judge of this Court or any
Court should always be in touch =
