The reason is. General Ethridge's
career in the Mississippi Legislature
was one of service to the entire peo-
pie. He advocated a law abolishing
the defense of contributory negli-
gence: likewise. the law aboliShing
the fellow servant doctrine. He
worked in and out of the Legislature
for the elective judiciary. He assisted,
more than any other man in Mlssis-
sippi. in bringing about the election Of
Judges, because it was he. as Assistant
| Attorney General, along with Attor-
ney General Ross Collins, who fought
through the courts the Jones case,
wherein the constitutionality and
validity of the elective Judiciary was
established. The work of General
Ethridge's two opponents in favor t
the elective judiciary was insignificant
as compared to his lahors. As Assist
ant Attorney General of Mississippi,
General Ethridge has represented the
State in the trial Of some of the most
important cases ever tried i'll the
courts of the country; his work, in
this respect. being not only in the Sui
preme Court of Mississippi. but in all
the Federal Courts. including the STU
preme Court of the United States, He
above all men is responsible for the
law guaranteeing the deposits in banks
for he sustained the law in the courts,
His wide and varied experiences quail
ify him beyond that of any Of his op-
ponents, and this is the reason that he
has been so uniformly endorsed. Here
are some of his many endorsements:
Lauderdale County Endorsement.
We, the undersigned members OF
the Meridian Bar Association, unhesi-
tatingly endorse the candidacy of Hon
orable George II. Ethridge for STU
preme Judge.
We unhesitatingly testify to his
efficiency as a lawyer, his high char
~acter, and answering integrity as a
man, and we recommend him to the
voters of this Supreme Court District,
as a man, who, If elected, will preserve
the highest tradition of the Supreme
Bench of Mississippi.
