TO THE VOTERS OF LITTLE RIVER
COUNTY:

In as much as here is some discus
sion as to my publications should I
be elected Judge l feel it my prive
ledge to say few words in my own
behalf
If had not known that l could adj
minis ter inteliigently over the affairs
of the Judges office l would not have
asked my friends to put me in the
office.
When it comes to the practical, COM
mon sense and economical duties OF
the Judge l do not ask eny man any
odds.
up but if they do I expect to be equip
ped with the help of the hes t ana most
proficient attorneys in the district.
Any citizen can recall when some
of the best and most substantial and
practical business men of our county
acted as County Judge but they were
not lawyers. Any reasonable man
knows that these men awaited them
selves of the services and advice Of
legal talent when technical questions
were involved.
The contention that I am not quail
fed to fill the office is simply the
doings of my opposers who are like
the drowning man; grasping at a
straw
l know how to build roads and
bridges and how to build them at the
lowest possible cost. l know how to
do such work in way that the county
will not have to pay for the same
work again in few months.
believe further that l know when
a claim against the county is just and
right. L believe in paying people for
what they do and what they sell to the
county but do not believe in seeing
the county pay for things that the
people never get.
1t was claimed two years ago and it
is being said now that certain man
in Ashdown was running me for Judge
and that if am elected that this man
will dictate my line of action. This is
as black falsehood as any man could
tell. Some good strong men of Ash
down are supporting me all right but
1 do not propose to be handled by any
man or any set of men and I have no
respect for any man who does not
have the grace and grit to stand on
his own merits and dictate his own
and any man who con-
tends that l am not standing on my
own responsibility is too much of a
coward to come out in public and
make his claim.
If I am elected will be the Judge.
shall give patient and careful hear
ing to my friends but l expect to do
my duty as see it without fear or ia
vor.
will not have time and opportunity
to see each and every voter in the
county but l will appreciate your vote
just the same and will try and show
you my gratitude in good substantial
way.
Those who do not vote for me may
rest assured that l will not be so stu
pid as to feel unkindly toward you. You
have right to vote as you please and
it is none of my business if you vote
for my opponent.
My privilege in the matter is to
simply ask your support and assure
you of my appreciation of the same
The best l can promise is to do the
best l can and I'll do it and l want
it distinctly known that do not be-
long to any man or any set of men.
l have no interest in any bank or
any other business institution in the
and am under no obligations
to any one in any way. l am simply
running for Judge on my own merits
as citizen of the county.
Yours truly,
P. NJ McCORD.
