To John McElroy. Democratic
County Chairman:
Your article published in the LEA
DER of October 9th. has been care
fully read. 1t seems you desire en-
lightenment on several points relative
to the race between the Republican
and Democratic candidates for County
Judge.
l therefore, take great pleasure in
assisting you to more perfect un-
derstanding of the candidates and the
issues between them.
Your first paragraph challenges me
to state one instance in which the
present Judge, and your Democratic
candidate has said he will have Pro-
baton Officer if he is reelected.
1 accept the challenge.
The Democratic candidate told me
after the Primary Election that the
votes he received had led him to be-
lieve the people of this county ap-
prove of his action in appointing a
Probation officer and that the voters
thought it proper to pay the expense
of maintaining such an officer.
also refer you to the Democratic
candidates card of thanks published
over his name thruout the county fol-
lowing the Primary Election wherein
he stated he will, if elected continue
to conduct the office in the future as
in the past"
Ellis Record
Also in his public speeches the
Democratic Candidate has time and
again declared, 81 stand on my re-
cord as a Judge and 1 expect to con-
tinue in the future as l have in the
past" which means nothing else than
that he will continue to have a paid
Probation officer If he is reelected.
Your own article above mentioned
says. II will put the Democratic can
didate on record as to him course and
tell you exactly what he will do. He
will put it SQUARELY UP to the
Board of County Commissioners as to
whether THEY want to employ Pro.
baton Officer, or DO THE WORK
THEMSELVES, or have it done thru
the more expensive channel Of the
District Attorneys Office"
What change of heart has the Dem.
ocratic candidate had, If any?
Why was he not governed by the
Board of County Commissioners in
1918 when they so resolutely opposed
the appointment of that officer known
and called Probation Officer? Patrick
then ignored their protest and went
so far as to cause suit to be institut-
ed to compel the payment Of the Pro
baton Officers salary, fixed and de-
clared by his own order, and payable
to member of his family whom he

We desire to express our grateful
thanks to the many friends of our
father, Mr.. c. H. Leighton, and to
the members of the I. o. o. F. and
Rebekah lodges of which he was a
member, for their kind acts during
his recent illness and following his
death. We shall ever remember the
tributes paid him by floral offerings
and in the sympathetic expressions
rendered us.

Mrs. Ellen Able and family.

ETC., which is nothing less than an
idle and foolish insinuation disclosing
insolent presumptions upon your part,
point to Mr.. Wooldridge's record as
a practicing attorney and his steadily
increasing practice since he has been
in this county; to the class of client
age he enjoys, representing as it does
many of our best people; his splendid
majority over all his competitors in
the election of 1914 in this county for
the office of Representative; his lead
ing position in the recent Republican
Assembly; and to his splendid vote
in the recent Primary Election which
local candidate either Republican or
Democrat.
My Preference
You further assume to insinuate
that l would prefer Judge Patrick as
my personal representative in event
of my death, than Mr.. Woodbridge.
In the first place you have no right
to assume anything in regard to my
personal affairs, but I will state 1
would be perfectly satisfied to have
Mr.. Woodbridge act in that capacity
in place of Judge Patrick.
And although you as a newcomer
fain would criticise Mr.. Woodbridge
as Town Attorney of Ordway, because
the Board of Trustees have seen pro-
per to employ Hon. Fred A. Sabin to
assist Mr.. Woodbridge in defending
100000 damage suit in which
Woodbridge is an important witness,
having been present when the acci-
dent happened that furnishes the bas-
is of the suit.
For your personal benefit as such
a newcomer, 1 beg to advise you that
Mr.. Woodbridge has served as Town
Attorney for almost three years. He
has never asked for or applied for
| the place. The position has always
come to him without solicitation.
What better evidence Of confidence
on the part of the Trustees could even
you ask or require?
| Your LEADER article is full of
"challenEcs," ''dares," and invitations
to "come out in the open" ETC., etc..
MIR. McEIroy, the Republican party
and its list of candidates are made up
of men and women who live and move
and have their being in the open.
And having complied with your
requests, 1 now have one challenge
to make to you, Mr.. McElroy, and
that is this: 1 challenge you to prove
you and your family have n legal
right to vote in this county, or state
at the coming election November 9TH.

t,wn again and perhaps will some
day"
The Ordway new era., 1916-11-03
Chairman Mast Flags McEhoy, and Drives
the Issue on Probation Officer Question

had appointed and who was then his
Probation officer.
The Law
Your second inquiry asks II I, as
a lawyer, am willing to say to the peo-
pie of Crowley county that the last
section of the County Judge and
Clerks fee law, in these words, to-
wit: 1.-THE clerk of the county court
and all clerical assistance shall be
paid only out of the fees and emolu-
ments of the office of the county Judge
and clerk of the county court actually
collected in excess of the salary of
the county Judge, does not prohibit
the Judge from paying a clerk, eith-
cr 100000, $12OO.OO, or any other
amount, as Probation Officer"
AS lawyer I answer: The section
you quote DOES NOT say one word
about a Probation Officer; it in no
way refers to Probation officer; it
DOES NOT prohibit a judge from ap-
pointing a Probation Officer; and it
DOES NOT prohibit judge from re-
quiring paid Probation Officer to do
the work of clerk.
| These matters are as discretionary
with the County Judge today as they
were In 1918.
If Judge Patrick could do as he did
in tho past-appoint n Probation Of
clerk without pay, why will he not do
the same act again? He has never
said he will not and on the other hand
he has repeatedly said that he will do
in the future as he has in the past.
Useless Expenditures
In the past he has had a Probation
officer at the TAXPAYERS EXPENSE
of $2930.OS, and that officer has
never rendered one five cents worth
of service that the judge should not
have rendered in person in a county
like Crowley. His action as Judge
has therefore wasted s293O.OS of the
taxpayers money. Shall he be re-
warded by reelection for this wilful
waste?
On, the other hand the Republican
candidate, MT. "ooluTldSe, has llohi
his first announcement stated that II
he be nominated and elected he WILL
ABOLISH THE PROBATION OFF.
GER AND SAVE THE TAXPAYERS
100000 during his term of office.
You demand that I tell you HOW
WOODBRIDGE WILL DO THE
WORK. He will, if elected. be the
Judge and acting Clerk as the law
provides. He will have no Probation
Officer, but as Judge he will exercise
Probation jurisdiction as the law con-
,emplates a County Judge shall do in
a County like Crowley.
AS to your challenges concerning
Endorsements by lawyers, judges, etc.
