I know I was losing some votes by tliis dai'y and hourly fusilade, but my iaith in the people was so strong that 1 did not believe they would repudiate me Upon any such issue, I know any lawyer of inforfhatiojb knows that I ,'isiyo tno largest circuit in • t}ie State and am: the. hardest worked Judge in- Georgia'. To The ^charge* Of beiitg-siow I want to call your attention to this fact': The law allows for the smallest case I try one hour for argument; the next closs two hours; the next class three hours. Were I to cut this time at all any higher court would reverse the case. ■ . Many people do not know this , but think the Court has the powov tp limit argument. The right of argument is vory important and a lawyer's client would fair out with him (if ,he failed to, arguo luc case -fully, : . Again, ask any lawyer who practices in any other circuit how my manage ment of a court compares with other judges. 1 have been tpld by many law yers from pthor circuits that it was re markable how I (expedited business. While this circuit is the largest in, the-.State and litigation has increased more than five-fold, yet I here and now assort that I am keeping my dockets than Banks, Gwinnett, or CONGRESSMAN THOMAS M.
