JUDGE LOCKWOOD FOR REELECTION.

nounoes his candidacy for reelection to tha high position he has held for the past nine years. the last two years as Judge of Division No. l. since the creation of second divi sion of the Superior Court in this county
 Judge Lockwood was appointed to the bench to complete the unexpired term of Judge Fred Sutter in 1913. and was reelected in 1914. and again in 1918, this high office carrying with il four-year term in Arizona.
 Since he has occupied the bench one of the mast successful iurists in the state with respect To cases up to the Supreme Court for decision. Out of SO cases. civil and criminal which have been appealed to the high court. over so per cent of them have been affirmed. which gives him one of the finest records of any Superior Judge in the state. The largest number of cases taken to the Supreme Court have been civil cases. the courts best record. however. having been made on his work in criminal cases. not having experienced single re yersal in criminal case since 1916 The outstanding case during the nine year period Of Judge Lockwood on the bench is probably the Moon fin. ger print case. which went mp 10 the Supreme Court. In this case the de cision hinged on q particular phase Of finger print testimony. which had never been presented before and on which preceden, had not been SC, in any court in the United States The decision was affirmed hy the Su- preme Court forming precedent iu this class Of evidence which will go down in history in the trial of crirn. inaI cases hinged on .inger print evi- dence.
 While Judge Lockwood has made an enviable record as . trial judge cases, his one biz hobby has been the juvenile work. 10 which he has de voted large par, of his time on the bench.
 As an example of the enormous amour, of cases handled during the time he has been on the bench. from a recent report to the Arizona Wo- mems Clubs on the juvenile work in Cochise county. il is shown that dur. ing the past year petitions were filed in the juvenile branch of court GOV ering 141 children. Of these it was alleged that s3 were delinquent. 59 neglected and dependent and five in corrigible. Of the delinquent .4were boys and 2 girls of the neglected and dependent 27 were boys and g girls: of the incorrigible 4 girls and l boy. Many other cases were handled thru the probation officers which never made their appearance in court which is one feature the court has insisted on before child be hailed into court 10 answer to charges filed Tn num- ter of cases handled and properly dis posed of it is figured Judge Lockwood has the distinction of handling more juvenile work than all other Superior Court judges in the state combined.
 Judge Lockwood has probably tried more homicide cases also, on the criminal side of the work. than any other judge in the state. having heard in the neighborhood of g such cases in the past 9 years. He has been called to hold court in every county but three of the smallest in the state. distinction not enjoyed by any oth- CT trial judge in the state with the exception. possibly. of Judge s. L. Pattee, of Pima county, and as the result of the wide acquaintance he has gained throughout the state, he has many times been prevailed upon GO make the race for Supreme Judge, but says his heart is still with Co- chise county. where he arose from a practicing attorney to his present po- sition, and where he expects to al ways make his home.
 Judge Lockwood was admitted to the bar in 1897: started practice in Arixona in 1q02 in Noealee fhen mov.
