JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT
FLINT CIRCUIT
Lawyer Former Judge
Veteran World War
' Wounded in Combat
I have made a very strenuous campaign and
have covered a large part of the Circuit. I will con
tinue seeing and talking to the voters.
I find the average citizen looks upon our State
Courts as the hope of our people, the salvation of
our youth. The people tell me they are making up
their own minds about who should be Judge. That
they are going to vote their own convictions on the
judgeship. They say they don’t want whoever is
elected Judge to play politics with their Courts, and,
for that reason they don’t intend to play politics in
the Judgeship race.
More and more of them say: “We are going to
support the candidate who will make the best Judge.
We will allow nothing to change our minds. As far
as we are concerned there will be no last minute
vote switching on this race for Judge.”
Sincerely,
HARVEY J. KENNEDY
v Candidate for Judge
