On hearing or his nomination
Gov. Wilson said:
"The honor is as great as can
come to any man by nomination
of a party, e.-peeiall.v in the cir-

it at it* true value; but just tit
the moment I feel the tremend-

en more than the honor. 1 hope
with all my heart the party will

To the Democratic Vetera
I hAve aiinotmced aw^a candi-
date before the primary for
county judge on Ihe Democratic
ticket. 1 have never asked the
people of Washita county for po-
litical honor but they did all 1
could expect of them to grant the
favor 1 asked. 1 served 27 months
ae ct unty superintendent t«rvl
later asked the Democracy for
the office of state superintendent.
The people of Waahita county
gave me a handaome rote. Had
j 4 been elected state superintend-
•ut 1 aould hjire • ppteed the
hardening of the people with the
too numeroua state ecboo4e and I
would not hare ronaented to the
en ma egaintt the rieing Here •
a*4< u by the multiplicity of the
iwmke overload, burden and
hinder the development of our
«hiidren.
Aa the people know m? aa be-
ing r nnected with school wprk I
Will say thu at 21 1 owned and
Hudifed through Rlacketone.
Bai-k 1n the 90s I had'a year attd
11« half's work in law school. 1
.! am licensed to practice law in
I the state supreme court and the
i United tSiates district and circuit
courts. I mention this b cause
j it has been said that I am no*
qualified. Here is what the ate i e
constitution says: "The c >unty
judge sh II be a c;ual tied voter
and a resident '->f the county at
the time of h s election, and a
lawyer licensed to practice in any
court of record of the state."
1 lee I that 1 am in accord with
the people of the county when I
sty t! at wa mnat be more eco-
nomical — not penurious — and
curtail our ejqeme* in every
legitimate way. Ho we will take
Economy a*< o ir watchword. > rd
T make 1 he {Trorwiee thnt ? f o<iUn-
t.y jndge I will do all in my pow-
er to save the taxpayers any
needlees expenditures o' money;
thnt.l tand for juslice and low
enforeement. .
1 deeply appraciate the honor
the people have beutowed upf n
me in the past. They never did
«nd don't now owe me any thin p:
bul I heliere lhat when I ask
them for their esteem, confi-
dence and trust that I will not
ask in vain.
Confidently xpecting the sup-'
port of the Democratic voters at
the primary August C, ana of the1
voters in general in the fall
e'ection, I am at your service.
