CAMBRIDGE MAN
ANNOUNCES FOR
THE JUpCESHIP
James A. McAllister, Esq, Is An
Aspirant For Chief Judge
On G.. o. p. Ticket

James A. McAllister, of Cambridge,
has entered the list as an aspirant for
the Chief Judgeship and in his an
nouncement "To the People of the LIST
say:
Il wish to announce that | am
candidate for election as Chief Judge
of the First Judicial Circuit of Mary
land, subject, of course, to my being
nominated at the Republican primary
in event of any contest.
Next to experience gained from the
Judgeship Itself, experience gained
in the office of States Attorney af-
fords the best foundation for judicial
temperament. The States Attorney
is faced with many of the problems
which later come before the Judge
and, indeed, many more which never
reach the Courts. In this way eX-
perience in applying common sense to
legal statutes is gained and the habit
of considering questions from all view
points acquired.
Il am now serving my eighth con-
secutive years as States Attorney for
Dorchester County and since my in
duction into this office it has been my
constant aim to cause to be enforced
efficiently the laws of both County
and State. This 1 have tried to do
without favor or discrimination of
any kind to race, creed or color. In
offering myself as candidate for the
extremely important position of Chief
Judge, l can promise only that, if
elected, my thoughts and aims will be
the same they have been since have
held my present office, and that
shall devote all of my efforts toward
the prompt, fair and competent ad-
ministration of justice in matters both
criminal and civil.
81 respectfully solicit the support
of my party voters for nomination and
if favored to this extent, shall appeal
to the voters of all parties upon my
