To the Voters of the Northeastern Circuit:
In making my announcement for Judge of the Northeastern
Circuit, this the second time, I having made the race for Judge at
the last election, I do so, believing that the voters desire a change
in the judgeship, and it is my worthy ambition to become your Judge.
Conditions have changed since I ran before. At that time the
world war was on us, and a majority of the people seemed to have
thought it best not to make any changes in the offices, and most of
the officeholders were retained in office without much thought
being given their efficiency, competency, or whether their records
Were satisfactory or not. However, conditions have now changed
and times are about normal, peace has been declared and war is
no more.
The present'Judge has been on the bench twelve years and has
drawn from the people for his services $48,000.00. No doubt he
has done the best he could, but, having done the best he could,
not only has he failed to reduce the number of undisposed of
cases on the dockets of your Courts, but today the number of cases
have practically doubled in number. The result is that parties
and witnesses have been forced to attend Court from term to term
and from year tp year without accomplishing anything. Many times
this delay has proven mostly in dollars and cents to litigants to
whom money was due, because before a trial could be had and
judgment secured^ the property and assets of the debtor haye been
wasted, disposed of or else placed beyond the reach of a judgment.
Witnesses are compelled to attend court but they ought not to be
compelled to keep on coming back, often times through mud and
rain, with no compensation. As Judge, I would see that cases
were set for trial on a definite day, and would see that they were
tried at the time appointed. The object of a Court is to promptly
dispose of all legal business brought before it, and to accommplisn
this I shall have no other business or interests other than that of
faithfully fulfilling the office of Judge. The Northeastern circuit
is composed of nine counties, having a population of about 75,000,
with its business and population increasing from year to year,, and
it will require the best efforts of a Judge, giving his full time to
the office, to faithfully and promptly consider and dispose of all
matters brought before him.
There are certain matters to be heard by the Judge without a
jury, such as motions for a new trial, injunctions, certiorari, de
murrers, etc., and I propose to hear and determine all such matters
in vacation time, and not wait until Court convenes in regular ses
sion, and run the taxpayers to an expense to pay for the operation
of a court, while these matters are being disposed of, when the
proper time to have disposed of them was before Court convened
with its heavy daily expense.
Furthermore, when Court is in session, in order to more fully
.expedite the business of the Court, I shall use each jury empanelled
'for the full six days in the week, or until all business triable at that
time is disposed of, therefore, the Court will always be/ ready for
'business,' with a jury waiting. H
I propose to call the criminal, docket myself to take all such
cases in their order ar.d dispose of them with the exception of jail
cases which will be promptly tried. '
This is, the first time in the history of our politics where the
ladies of ,the Circuit have participated in the election of the Judge,
and I earnestly solicit the support and vote of all these new voters,
and to them I promise, as I have to all voters, to faithfully and
impartially discharge the duties of the high office of Judge.
Born in the mountains of Georgia, during the days when schools
were few and money was scarce, I had very little opportunity and
means of getting an education in my youth. What I have learned
I have dug out since my early manhood, and in the university of
hard knocks and experience, where so many others of my fellow
countrymen who came along in this age with me have gained what
they know. By hard work and diligent study under adverse condi
tions I have attained whatever successful results in life I have ac
complished in my profession. It is my ambition to crown my long
years of legal experience with the honor of the judgeship of the
Northeastern circuit, which has always been my home and field of
activity and where the people know me, and know the principles
which I have always stood for, and I want your help and support
and co-operation in helping me to attain that to which I aspire,
the office of Judge.
I believe I am qualified for the office. For thirty-three years I
have practiced law at Clarkcsville in the Northeastern Circuit.
My long experience at the bar and in court, together with my ob
servation of Courts the various judges, and my long and daily close
contact with the people, will enable me to be an efficient judge, and
to adopt the best methods and rules for conducting a Court.
. The area of nine counties comprising the Northeastern Circuit
is much larger than the whole state of Delaware and approximately
twice as large as the entire state of Rhode Island. Naturally, I
Bhall not have the opportunity to see and personally solicit all the
voters of the Circuit, but I take this means of asking all of you to
vote for and support me.
And I request my friends and supporters to stand firm, work and
! ;o to the polls and to persuade their neighbors and friends to vote
or the man who will give them an efficient and business adminis
tration as Judge, and I feel confident that we will win this race,
and I shall always appreciate and be grateful to you for your votes
and your help.

DENUDED TURKEY “CAME TO”
Chloroformed Bird, Minus Feathers,
V»ry Much Alive When the An.
esthetic Had Worn Off.
One of New Jersey's most con
servative towns is consumed with
mirth, and the objects of said mirth
are a young, kind-hearted bride and
bridegroom. Tiie bridegroom, it ap
pears, took a chance on a turkey that
was being raffled off in his New York
office and a few days later was notified
that he had won the pompous bird.
Highly delighted, he gave his address
and ordered the prize sent out to his
New Jersey home.
In the course of time the bird ar
rived at its destination, and arrived,
much to the surprise of the bride and
bridegroom, in a wire crate very much
alive, remarks the New York Sun. As
their experience in executing birds wits
nil and the bride “couldn’t bear to
j have its pretty head chopped off,”
they decided to chloroform-k. Con
sequently, the next night, when the
bridegroom got home from the office,
the anesthetic was administered on a
| lovely lace handkerchief and then the
bird was plucked and put into the
Ice 1 box. About 9 o’clock that night
the peace and quiet around the library
lamp were disturbed by strange noises
in the kitchen.;
Hand in hand the newlyweds, bravely
descended upon the kitchen expecting
to find the ever-looked-for burglar.
But no burglar Was to be seen. Lo-
eating the noise in the direction of the
ice box the brave ^oung bridegroom
swung open the doors and out stepped
a very naked turkey. After a few
rounds of the kitchen, with consider
able flapping of wings he began pick
ing up the crumbs on the floor. The
bride and bridegroom looked at each
other in horror and fled from the
kitchen. An hour or so later the
services of a- neighbor were called
upon and dhls time-the turkey was an
esthetized with an axi
