My official duties as Probate Judge has kept me from making an exten- sive canvass, and prevented me from visiting many parts of the county nd meeting personally the voters: as I could not neglect my official duties [had to content myself with «a short canvass. I made a campaign for this very term which I am serving, and was defeated in the convention by only a few votes by the late Juc Dalton: when he died the Governor recognized the justice of my position in the con- venticn and appointed me to fill out Judge Dalton’s term of four years, but under the law it becomes neces- sary to hold an election to fill out the last two years of this term. I have new served about one year, and if I have faithfully performed m) duties during the short time I have had this office (and of this let the public decide), I ask if in all political fairness and right, should I notte permitted to fill out the remainder of the term?
