To the Voters of Adams and Fulton
Counties :
In announcing my candidacy for the
nomination for President Judge of the
Fifty-first Judicial District I desire to
Btate that I consented to become a
candidate because of the number of
members of the bar who urged me to
do so and pledged me their support,
and while 1 bad the matter under con
sideration, assurance of support and
approval came from voters all over
the county and district urging the step,
and confiding in these assurances,
I consented. The otlice of President
Judge Is the highest honor In the gift
of the people of this district and car
ries with-it the gravest responsibili
ties. A Judge must not only know the
law and be a student of the law, but
must be without prejudice and bias in
the administration of the law, the
rights of the humblest citben must be
as sacredly maintained as those of
the most exalted or of the great cor
porations. He must weigh all mat
tors carefully so that only justice and
righteousness is done. The non-parti-miii
law aimed at the highest judicial
i leal In the separation of the Bench
from politics and party orguuizations
1 pledge myself to the hfghest ideals
of justice and right in the discharge
of every duty if nominated and elected
to preside over the Courts of this dis
trict, and as an assurance of such
pledge let the life I have lived In your
midst speak for itself. 1 will highly
appreciate all support.
Most respectfully yours,
July 8. J. L. BUTT.

HON. DONALD
Brief Sketch of the Life and
date for Judge of the
Pleas, 51st
Hon. Donald P. McPherson,
candidate on the non-partisan
ticket for President Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of the Fif
ty-first Judicial District, was
born at Gettysburg, Pa., on Au
gust 10, 1S70. the youngest son
of the Hon. Edward McPherson
and Annie D. (Crawford) Mc
Pherson.-
He received his preliminary
education in the Gettysburg shcool
was graduated from Pennsylva
via College in the class of 1S39,
and from the Law School of Har
vard University, with the degree
of LL. B., 1S!)5. He was admit
ted to the Bar of Adams County
on January 23, 1S0G, and immed-
ately formed a partnership with
his brother John B. McPherson,
Esq., under the firm name of
McPherson & McPherson. In
1003, on the removal of his broth
er to Boston, the firm was dis
solved and since then Mr. Mc
Pherson has practiced alone.
In 1900 he was elected to the
House of Representatives of Penn
sylvania by the largest vote cast
for any legislative candidate in
Adams county; and his record in
the House was so excellent that
in 1902 he was promoted by the
voters of the 32nd Senatorial Dis
trict (Adams and Cumberland
counties) to the Senate of Penn
sylvania by the amazing major
ity of 1264 in Adams and 7 in
Cumberland. A result altogeth
er remarkable in view of the fact
that the normal Democratic ma
jority in the district was over
1,000 and that ex-Governor Pat
tison, at that same election ob
tained a Democratic majority of
2,000 vote3.
During the 1900 Session of the
House and the four years he ser
ved in the Senate, being the ses
sions of 1903 and 1905 and the
Special session of 190f, his course
on legislation, in response to
what he believed to be the senti
ment of his district, was charac
terized by a constant endeavor
to further the best interest of the
State' and to better general polit
ical conditions. Thi3 required
independence of action; which
independence was best reflected,
possibly by his hand on the Phila
delphia Ripper Bilk', when, with
three other Republican Senators,
he voted against the bills there
by evoking from the Democratic
Philadelphia "Record," of April
5, 1905, its sincere editorial ap
proval. Since the end of his Senatorial
term Mr. McPherson's entire time
has been given to the practice of
his profession, and to his local
and other business interests. He
has a wide clientage. He is a
Director of the Gettysburg Na
tional Bank and its Secretary and
Counsel; a Director of the Get
tysburg Water Company, the
Evergreen Cemetery Association,
the Reaser Furniture Company,
Attorney for Pennsylvania Col
lege, for the People's State Bank

District.
of East Berlin, and is intimately
identified with the progress and
improvement of the Town and
County. He is also a member of
the Board of Trustees of Wilson
College, Chambersburg, Pa.
This year, however, when the
Judgeship the aim of every law
yerwas urged upon him by the
most natural call of his friends
irrespective of party he, after
mature deliberation, responded
to their desire. Everyone knows
or will know by reading it, that
the Act of 1913 ha3 made the
Judgeship non-partisan, and has,
as to that office deliberately cut
asunder every tie that binds a vo
ter to his party; so that he shall
be absolutely frte in theory as
well as in fact, to vote for the
candidate best qualified by knowl
edge of the law, by integrity by
experience, by temperament, to
be a Judge.
This is no ordinary office. The
President Judge elected for ten
years is charged, under the law
with the life, the liberty, the
property of the citizen; respon
sibilities so grave and vital that
they demand of the voter that he
shall ponder well the qualifica
tions of the candidates, and shall
not be led blindly by his party
affiliations. An honest Judge
knows no party, and every man
to the limit of his power, is obli
gated to see to it that such a
Judge is chosen.
Those who for this office, have
turned to Mr. McPherson have
done so with the profound con
viction that he is the one candi
date who professes all the neces
sary characteristics of sich a
Judge. He has the judicial tern
perament and poise to a remark
able degree; he is studious, he
knows the law; he is just; he has
a proper patience; he has the ir
dustry; the capacity, the freed
om from prejudice; the correct
ness of view-point; the sureness
of mature judgment; the moral
character (which comprehends
business integrity as well as clean
living.)
Moreover, Mr. . McPherson
comes from a long line of distin
guished ancestors. The McPher
sons have been identified with the
intimate life of Adams county
since the white man entered it
Six generations of them have
been eminent in War and Peace.
The first settler, Robert Mc
Pherson, was among the original
few who came into the Marsh
Creek settlement then in York
county h 1738. He was a man
of substance and repute.
His son, Robert, was a Captain
in Forbes' Expedition, which cap
tured Fort Duquesne in 1758, and
a Colonel in the Reolution: his
grandson, William, was also in
the latter war, a Lieutenant in
Miles' Rifle Battalion, later the
first regiment of the Pennsylva
nia Line; his great-grandson,
J .hn B., was crsVer of thePank
of Gettysburg, later the Gettys
A
':"V
I)
burg National Bank, from its or
ganization in 1814 until his death
in 1858.
Mr. McPherson's father, the
Hon. Edward McPherson, was a
most distinguished and represen
tative citizen of Adams county
for more than 35 years. In 1858
he was elected to represent the
lGth Congressional District (Ad
ams. Fulton, .Franklin, Bedford
and Juniata Counties) inthe3Gth
Congress, and was re-elected in
18G0. At the outbreak of the
Civil War, he was chosen Captain
of Co. K., 1st, Penna. Reserves.
He resigned this Captaincy when
Congress assembled in 18G1, and
accepted a commission as Volun
teer Aide on General McDowell's
Staff; later he became Volunteer
Aide on General Reynold's Staff.
In 18G3 he was chosen Clerk of
the House of Representatives for
38th Congress, and was subse
quently chosen for the C9th, 40th
41st, 42nd, 43rd, 47th, and 51st
Congress, being the longest con
tinuous service, and the longest
service in that post from the be
ginning of the Government.
This record of more than a cen
tury and a half of faithful, meri
torious, distinguished service by
one's direct forebears certifies
much for the man who is now a
candidate for the office of Presi
dent Judge-and who all his life
has lived up to that record. His
own superior integrity and abili
ty are well known to the entire
district; and with that integrity
and ability, as an inviolable guar
anty of his judicial fitness, goes
also a proper pride in maintain
ing the family heritage of an hon
orable record, and of duty well
done. Star and Sentinel Gettys

they noticed that the house was
on fire. Forgetting all about the

found the fire in an upper rocm.
