LETTER FROM J. W. DOUTHIT.

Regarding the statement that appeared in the democrat a few weeks ago concerning our former townsman James W. Douthit, and Ins candidacy for police judge ot the city of Weatherford, Okla., Mr. Douthit writes: In your notice in reference to myself in a recent issue, you were only partly correct. L ist spring I was a candidate before the democratic primary for the office of Police Judge against Judge M F. Baker, who has held the office for a number of terms. After I had announced my name as a candidate, the. Cit izens’ Convention composed of republicans and dissatisfied democrats nominated mefor that office, which nomination, I promptly, but respectfully declined Judge Baker was nominated in the primary and I supported him at the polls.. All the nominees on the regular democratic ticket were elected, excepting the mayor who was defeated by eleven votes. The mayor elected claims to be a democrat, but he accepted the nomination on the citizens’ ticket. The justice of the peace, who had almost all the business, was elected city attorney, and. resigned, and through his influence 1 wasappointed to till the vacancy by the boatd of commissioners. lam the demr ocratic nominee for one of the justices of peace of this city, to be voted for on November 4th, and if I get the demo cratic vote 1 will be elected. The city of Weatherford elects two justices and they are voted for by the voters of the corporation alone. This county is twenty-four miles wide and forty two miles in length, and a justice of the peace has jurisdiction throughout the county. This is the best town, in the county, and it is about twenty miles to the county seat. All of the business that can be is transacted before the justices of the peace. The other justice* of this city is connected with a land and loan office and does not care for the business, and 1 practically get it al). It doesnot prevent me from practicing except in my own court; but since I. have been appointed I have had tui little time fjr any thing else. The only 1 difficulty is that the organic act pre- | vents the legislature from allowing the justice jurisdiction in civil suits for over one hundred dollars. In criminal cases he has the power to fine one hundred dollars and imprison thirty days in the county jail. I have but little criminal j business, as it goes to the police judge . in order that the citv may get 4he revenue. The justices of the peace are elected for two years and can be notary publics also. I have pe formed only one tnar'iage ceremony, and I was highly complimented on the brevity of the same, hut I do not like the business —I j would much rather secure a divorce. Yours truly, James W. Douthit.
