preciating the dignity of such position,
and the necessity Of having in that
court splendid lawyer and splendid

LOCAL BAR ENDORSES JUDGE PORTER
We, the undersigned members of the
Natchitoches Bar, heartily endorse
Judge Charles v. Porter as Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court from the
newly created district of which Match
itoches Parish is part.
Judge Porter was born in DeSoto
Parish but moved to this parish when
lad OF seven years of age. He has
spent an active and useful life among
US. He is a splendid gentleman. A
strong, fearless and incorruptible man.
He proved an earnest and fearless
prosecutor as district attorney of the
old Tenth District. He was elevated
to the district bench in 1900 as the
first Judge of the present Eleventh
District. He proved a most able
judge. He vas always courteous.
patient and sympathetic; yet always
fearless and Independent and uncom-
promising with Iawlessness, His court
commanded confidence and respect at
all times.
In recognition of his able record as
district judge, he was elevated to the
Circuit Court of Appeal in 1907, where
ne has since been the presiding judge
OF that tribunal, serving with signal
ability.
We feel that by reason of his ripe
judicial knowledge, his strong charac-
ter and abundant store of good common
sense, Judge Porter is especially we'll
equipped to make an able, fearless and
Justice of the Supreme
Court.
