Asks For Second
Term
TO THE VOTERS
OF COLLIN COUNTY:
In my opinion, f was given a
great honor when the citizens of
this county elected me County
Judge by one of the largest votes
that has ever been received in a
contested race, in July, 1958, when
I was twenty-eight years of age.
For this, I am very grateful.
I am now asking the voters of
Collin County for a second term
in this office, promising to con-
tinue to do my best.
The office of County .Indue is an
office with many facets. The first
of these is cooperation with the
Commissioners Court, the Collin
County Medical Society, stale agen-
cies for the insane and afflicted,
stale homes for juveniles, t h e
Board of Governors, staff and em-
ployes of the Collin Memorial Hos-
pital, all law enforcing agencies,
was right for Collin County, and
at times I have had to take stands
against my good friends which was
very difficult. I have endeavored
to treat every section of the coun-
ty fairly. I have tried to operate
the county in a business like man-
ner with strict economy without
stagnation, keeping in mind every
dollar that every person pays for
taxes. I am sure that I have
made some mistakes but if they
were made Ihey were honest mis-
takes.
I have tried to keep clean gov-
ernment in Collin County and in
my judicial role I have put every
bil of effort and law training that
I have at my command into my
position as judge of the county
court.
Sitling on the bench as juvenile
judge, I have heard numerous
cases involving many children,
and I am proud to say that we
have one of the lowest juvenile
rales in Texas. Sometimes, I may
have been too lenient, but some
children, I feel, deserve a second
chance.
I am a member of the First
every municipality in the county, j Christian Church in McKinney and
the State Highway Department, • attained the rank of Eagle Scout
the Collin County Bar Associa-
tion, the Collin County Health De
partment, Collin County Soil Con-
servation District, all news media,
the Chambers of Commerce of
the various towns, every elected
11 official, all farming, dairying and
livestock groups, every county cm-
in Boy Scout work.
When I announced for County
Judge, in 1958, I said I helieved
in the future of Collin County. Aft-
er three years of work, I even
have a stronger belief than I did
at that time. The next five years
will bring the greatest changes
