Statem ent of C. M. Thom as
TO THE VOTERS OF JACKSON AND JOSEPHINE COUNTIES:
At the general election, November 7, you will select yoar nominee for the office
of circuit judge, and he will preside as such for a term of six years. Who is able to
say, that during that period, she or be will not be before that court with questions
involving important property rights, personal liberty, or even life itself.
In becoming a candidate for ibis exalted position, 1 did so with full realization of
its great responsibilities, and with, a determination, if elected, to do everything hu
manly possible to discharge the high duties of ;he office.
After twenty-five years of the active practice of law, 1 know as a lawyer that a
judge should always maintain a free and open mind to the end that he may act impar
tially and without prejudice in all matters that come before the court.
As a candidate for judge, T know that it is highly improper for me to engage in
public discussions, either from the platform or through the public press, or in any
other manner, or to form opinions concerning questions that might be presented to me
for decision. My conviction upon this subject are so fixed, that T have at all times and
do now refuse to violate them, believing that to do so would he proof of my unfitness.
If elected, I will take office without pledge, or intimation of pledge to any news
paper, organization or human being, and with no other duty to perform than that
growing out of my oath of office.
Believing that the only hope of good government lies in the election of officers
possessing high ideals, standing steadfastly for the enforcement of ALL laws, and
realizing the abhorrence with which the average citizen shrinks from personal abuse
malignment of character and attacks on reputation, the vindictiveness and personal •-
ties injected into the present campaign by the opposition are to he deplored.
Clean politics demands that each candidate should stand upon his own merits,
qualifications and reputation, and not upon the demerits, lack of qualification and ihe
reputation of his opponent.
I close the campaign for election with no biased or prejudiced judgments, with no
desire to punish my enemies, and with malice toward none, realizing that if elected,
law must be administered with justice and impartiality to all individuals, classes, creeds
or religions.
Yours respectfully,
C. M. THOMAS.

“ F o rm e r Senator Thom as with a m ost excellent record in the
le g isla tu re , was overw helm ingly nom inated in the republican pri

recall election out th ere , and some of his critics a re publicly dem and
ing th a t Senator Thom as declare his position w ith reference io the
Ku Klux Kian.
“ Supposing S enator Thom as, as a candidate for judge, ihould
m ake a sta te m e n t denouncing secret organizations in general and the
K u K lux K ian in p a rtic u la r, and suppose th a t he should he elected
judge.
“ Several Jackson county citizens are now under indictm ent for
alleged connection with K ian activities. T heir cases m ight not rom e
th in k ab le th at the fair-m inded people of Jackson county would want
them tried by a judge who, th rough a public etatem ent, had previously
acknow ledged th a t he had prejudged th eir cases.
“ The situ a tio n exam ples ihe m istake of raising up a sixteenth
century religious controversy, as a 1922 election issue, in !meh ton-
iroversies feeling becomes so em bittered th a t lom e men, o th e iy is e
entirely reasonable, lose their cense of proportion.
“ The Kian in Jackson county should have ’eft the ad m in istratio n
of the law to the courts flu t th a t is no reason tow ,o project the
courts into the g u tte r of politics.
“ The K ian, in u n d e rta k in g to punish offenders outside of ihe
courts, usurped a u th o rity 'which 't had :io legal rig h t ;o exercise, But
any m em bers who iock p a rt n those activities s »titled to i a ir n a il
