Office, nave renewed 10 a large
measure, the congested condi-
ton of the dockets, have in
augurated some reforms in the
Court which | know have saved
litigants and taxpayers large

more for the public welfare
than | have done in the past.

Record of Opponent

Now, as to the official record
and legal experience of my OPP
ponent. The records show
that he was appointed gauger
June 18th, 1901, and served
until June LIST, 1906, so that out
of fifteen years which he says
he has been engaged in the
practice of law, five years, or
one-third of that time, he was
engaged in the revenue service,
and was holding Office when he
came to Morristown, since
which time he has been an ap-
plicant for County Attorney,
City Attorney, and two years
ago, was for a while candidate
for Circuit Judge, and is now
candidate, so that from the
time he came into this circuit
from Hancock county, he has
steadfastly sought, or held
some position or other.
Since my opponent has been
located at Morristown, the rec
ords fail to show that he ever
prepared and tried a lawsuit of
any consequence in either the
Chancery or Circuit courts of
Hamblen, Cooke, Granger, or
Jefferson counties.
1t is true my opponent was
elected special Judge at the
May term, 1915, of the Circuit
Court of Hamblen county, ow-
ing to the illness and absence
of Judge Henderson, but the
records show that he only tried
a few divorce cases, only one OF
which was contested, and the
records further show he never
tried a single state case.
Since | have been on the
bench, my opponent sitting as
Special Judge, has tried one
criminal case, in which l was
incompetent, by reason of hav'
ing signed the bill of indict.
ment against the defendant.
l am informed that he has
never argued a case before the
Supreme Court, and as will ap'
pear from the certificates Of
the Clerk and Master of the
Chancery Court, and Clerk Of
the Circuit Court of HANDLER
county, his name appears or
the trial docket of the Chan
Gerry Court nineteen times, il
most of which cases he was as

Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1918-04-11
To the Voters of the Second
Judicial Circuit of the State
of Tennessee:

l hereby announce myself a
candidate for Judge of said
circuit in the coming August
election, and will be a candi-
date until the polls close on
August LIST, 1918.
In taking this course | de-
sire to state my reasons for so
doing, and expect to see as
many of the voters as possible
between this and the election,
and present my claims in per-
son.
On September 9Th, 1917, the
Republican Executive Commit
tee of said circuit, composed
of the chairman of the several
counties, met at the Hotel Nit
chell in Morristown, Tenn, to
fix the time and manner for
nominating Republican candi-
dates for Judge and Attorney
General of the circuit.
The Committee directed a
Primary to be held on Deem
Der 9Th, 1917, in the counties
composing the circuit, and pre-
scribed rules and regulations
under which candidates should
qualify, the election should be,
held, and provided that the
committee should meet at said
hotel on the 22nd day of De-
cember, 1917, determine the
contests as soon as possible and
declare the results. The rules
provided that any candidate
might contest the nomination
of his opponent on notice of
contest which should be given
the chairman of the Executive
Committee, and the opposing
candidate not later than De-
cember goth, 1917, at one o.
clock p. m.

Action of Committee

The Committee met on De-
cember 22nd, 1917, at the place
designated, and | went before
that body and presented and
read said notice and protest in
the presence of my opponent,
who did not then deny any of
the charges made.
| urged the committee to
give me the opportunity of
proving the charges made in
my notice, which request was
ignored by the committee, and
my opponent was declared the
nominee.
Believing then, that my OPP
ponent's nomination, on the
face of the returns, was pro-
cured by fraud, and in viola
ton of the rules of the Primary
and that the Committee arbi-
trarily and in disregard of all
fairness, refused me hearing,
and declined to investigate the
charges made, l determined to
make further investigation,
which | have done, and find
that the charges l then made
are abundantly supported by
the facts, and that even great
er frauds were practiced than
were charged. Therefore | do
not feel myself under any OBJ
legation to abide by the re-
suits of that election, as de-
clared by the committee, as |
believe my opponents nomina-
ton was secured by fraud, as
set out in said notice; that the
election was a farce, and my
opponent is not the nominee OF
the party; that said pretended
nomination is not binding or
me, nor any voter who partici.
pated in said Primary, and il
certainly is not binding or
those who failed to participate
which constitutes about three.
fourths of the voters of the
Circuit.
In presenting my claims t.
the people, | invite a careful
investigation of the methods
used in said Primary Election
| also invite investigation Of
my past record as prosecuting
attorney and on the bench, anC
if | have not been a faithful
servant in every public position
| have held, | do not ask thu
support of the people, but if
have fulfilled the trusts repOs
ed in me, | ask your active sup
port in my behalf.
Voters Disapprove Primary
Since said Primary Election
great numbers of voters il
each and every county of tn
circuit have expressed to m
their disapproval of the meth
DDS used in accomplishing m
supposed defeat in said Pr
mary, and have requested m
to make the race until the Aug

termined to do, and expect t

l then stated that my inves-

there was such a system of
corrupt influences brought to

a system of frauds practiced

| felt warranted in ignoring

supposed results of said Pri-
mary, and that | would take
