Judge Reynolds Candidate for
Judge Of Supreme Court

Homer, La, June 8, 1921.
ToSthe Voters of the Second Supreme
Court. District of Louisiana:
Under the new Constitution Judge
of the Supreme Court is to be elected
between now and October by the dis
trlct composed of Bienville, Bossier,
Caddo, Claiborne, DeSoto, Natchi-
ttoches, Red River. Sabine, Webster,
Wlnn,. and Vernon. had rather be
that judge than President. l beg,
therefore, to submit my record and ask
your vote and support.
When the great Claiborne Oil Fields
were discovered in the District in
which l am Judge, numerous friends
urged me to resign and make my for
tune In the law practice, but | could
not hand back thanklessly and in a
Crisis the trust bestowed upon me by
the people.
With this discovery of oil law suits
plled IN unit! It was predicted that my
docket would become 80 congested that
one judge would be unable to keep up
with the work, bct by the end of each
term OF court, my docket has been
cleared and every case decided.
In this oil litigation, involving hum
dreds of millions of dollars and un-
settled jurisprudence, every decision
rendered by me and passed on by the
Supreme Court has been affirmed. But
l claim only my share of the credit,
for these cases were developed by the
ablest lawyers in the state, and it is
easy to decide case right if all the
facts on both sides are presented, and
the Judge maintains an open mind until
all the evidence is before him.
! would like to begin an active cam
paign at once, but cannot do so until
l have held four terms of court, as one
Of my rules as Judge has been to open
court on time to the minute, and to
adjourn when all business ready for
trial is disposed of and all cases decided.
During my vacation, however, hope
to meet. every woman and every man
in this district, and ask you ito main-
tain an open mind until all the evidence
is before you."
Yours sincerely,
