Delight, his former home, says:
Delight and vicinity are this week
enjoying visit fiom Judge G. E.
johnson, of Ashdown, long time
former resident of Delight and Pike
County, where, during eight years Of
legal practice and banking and other
business connections here he made a
wide horizon of firm friends and es-
tablished a reputation and character
for keen legal insight, fairness and
friendship. Judge johnson, now for
several years associated with A. F.
Steele and Ben Shaver in one Of the
largest law practices in Southwest
Arkansas, is located at Ashdovn. lie
is a candidate fer Chancellor of the
9th Chancery district of Arkansas,
which embraces Little River, Sewer,
Polk, Pike, Howard, Hampstead, Ne
vada, Miller and Clark Counties where
he has the support Of bar and citi-
zenship almost solid of five counties,
and is the only candidate in the race
from these five counties. 1t is a
pleasure to recognize the candidacy
of Judge johnson for Chancery Judge
both because of the Judicial qualifi-
cations he has exhibited during the
various times he has served as acting
Judge of the Circuit Court, the clean
ness and fairness of his legal record
during 10 years of practice during
which have ccme up and passed
through his hands some of the most
important civil and state cases in the
district. Even more than this, it is
a pleasure to be able to frankly and
warmly express the popular town and
farm clement sentiment by saying
that Judge Johnson on the Chancery
bench would sustain both the dignity
Of the place and retain his sympathet-
ic touch with the everyday citizen of
the district placing him in the posi-
ton. From his old home town and
his most intimate associates we are
sure these same sentiments would ex-
press themselves wherever oppportu-
nifty afforded, and from reports over
the district We are impressed with the
fact that C. f. johnson as a fellow
citizen, neighbor and associate has the
same close ties of friendship that
Judge c. Z johnson has the esteem oi
the bar and the confidnce of the pub
lie. That he will be the next Judge
of the Chancery Court we are conf
dent and that his Election will meet
the approval of the vast majority o.
our chancery district we are equally
certain. 1t is an instance of preem
inently the right man in the righ
place"
