THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1936
In this issue of the Times Mr.
L. M. Carlton of Roxboro,
makes the announcement that
he is a candidate for the nomi
nation of Judge in the 10th
Judicial District.
This announcement, in every
respect, appears to be regular
and in accord with the primary
laws of our state. He is a can
didate, subject of course, to the
Democratic Primary to be held
June 6th. We wish to add our
endorsement to Mr. Carlton's
candidacy and we add this en
dorsement over the protest of
our contemporary—The Dur
ham Morning Herald.
So Person County’s Democ
racy presents our townsman,
Mr. Carlton, to the electorate
of the 10th Judicial District and
asks the people to consider his
qualifications for the office of
Judge. Mr. Carlton was horn in
the district and has practised
law here for the past 36 years.
He is eminently fitted, both by
experience and temperament,
for the position of Judge. The
Democratic Primary of our
state proposes that any Demo
crat qualified by residence and
training may enter his candida
cy for office, subject as I say,
to the endorsement of the
Democratic voters in said pri
mary. So, then, if the Judici
ary be in politics, it is there not
by reason of Person County’s
entry. It is there by reason of
a statute enacted by a Demo
cratic legislature. It is a state
law, the purpose of which is to
give the people a voice in nam
ing its candidates, selecting its
standard bearers for the No
vember election.
So, then, if the Durham Morn
ing Herald be aggrieved, and
evidently it is, then hurl your
grievance at North Carolina’s
primary law, for certainly, Per
son County’s entry is within the
law.
We are perfectly willing to
leave our candidate and his
cause to the legal way of nomi
nating candidates.
The June Primary is almost
here and if Mr. Carlton’s entry
brings the judiciary into poli
tics, it will not be in politics for
long. Somehow we have an idea
that the people on June 6th will
name a candidate whose Judi
cial poise, and whose sense of
justice, when elected and takes
office then finds politics in the
Judiciary, will immediately ad
journ politics to administer
justice to the people of our
state.
Person County has this con
fidence in its candidate.
Os course, our county has
been a little bashful and back
ward in asking for district hon
ors, but somehow, we have an
idea that we have a man fitted
for the position of Judgfe. Any
way, we are willing to leave his
qualifications to the Democrats
of Person, Durham, Orange,
Granville, and Almance. It is
Just our way of doing, as the
Democrat party would have us
do. That is to say, leave our
cause to the Demorcats of our
Judicial District If this be sin
ning against the Judiciary, for
give us, for we knew no other
way.
Person County’s Democracy
presents Mr. Carlton for Judge.
We invite Democrats of Dur
ham, Orange, GranviQe and
Alamance to join hands with us
In promoting a well-balanced
Judiciary, because our man will
make an even balanced judge.
Yes, we repeat, if it be wrong
for Mr. Carlton to entler the
primary for the nomination of
Judge, then let the Primary
make its confession to the Ju
diciary. Mr. Carlton chooses the
Primary as a Democratic way
to his nomination. Is there an
other way? If so, will the Herald
advise us?
