JUDGE BRUNOT FOR SUPREME
COURT.

In this issue we carry an an
rouncement from Judge HI. F. Bru.
not, of Baton Rouge, to the effect
that he is a candidate for the
Sureme Court Judge of this State to
succeed the Hon. o. 0. Provosty
who has announced that he will not
he candidate for reelection.
/ Judge Brunot, without doubt, is
enc of the ablest judges in the state.
AS District Judge of the 22d Judicial
District Court, in which capacity he
has served for more than twenty-five
years, he has been called upon to
decide more cases of Importance to
the people Of the state as a whole
than any other judge now serving
on the bench.
In addition sto the cases of which
District Courts generally have juris-
diction, he has tried and decided all
Of the cases affecting the powers and
duties Of state officers and state gov
ornamental agencies arising during
that time, all Of which under the law
must be tried at the state capitol
Judge Brunot's decisions in all OF
the important state cases have been
upheld by the higher courts to which
appeals were made.
These cases involved technical
study of public service control, in
Guiding the constitutional powers Of
the Public Service Commission and
of other governmental agencies and
the legality of their orders, particu-
larly the orders Of the Public Ser
vice Commission affecting railroads,
telegraph, telephone and water trans
portation facilities A large num-
Der of cases concerning assessment,
taxation and political rights Of state
wide Importance are necessarily tri-
able at the seat of government. The
Importance and wide range Of cases
he has considered and passed upon
has made him familiar with every
phase of the law and has given him
an experience and training which no
other district judge in the state has
had.
Judge Brunot was born in 1861
and received his education at Pass
Christian College, Cooper Institute
and the Louisiana State University.
He graduated in law at the Louisi-
ana University, now Tulane, in 1882.
As already stated he has actively

served as district Judge for more
than twenty-five years.
Both mentally and physically he
is one of the most vigorous of men.
He is exceptionally well read and is
a profound student of the law. This
coupled with his unquestioned per
sonal integrity and exalted sense of
duty and in view Of his unique ex-
perience of a quarter of a century
on the district bench, renders him
peculiarly fitted for the position Of
Supreme Court Judge.
