Am Running On My Record
As you know, \ served as your Brunswick
County Recorder's Court Judge from 1946
through 1954, a period of eight years, and I feel
the knowledge gained during my service makes
me more qualified to serve you for the next two
years in carrying out the duties of that office.
Although I had a Bachelor's Degree in Law
before I was elected judge in 1946, I found that
there is a great deal of knowledge to be gained
through self-experence that cannot be gained from books.
I want to thank my many friends throughout the county for the sup
port given me in the past and for the confidence expressed by the
many requests for me to run at this time, and if nominated and elect
ed I shall continue to render fair and impartial verdicts in all cases
which come before me.
I want to make myself clear that I am not running in this race un
der the direction or influence of any political taction or group. I am
running on my own upon request of my friends throughout the county,
and the only thing that 1 can promise is to carry out the solem duties
of my office to the best of my ability.
