Judge Toms in Race
For His Third Term

But here is what The Detroit News
said last week about

JUDGE W. McKAY

SKILLMAN

"Judge Skillman is credited with two of
the reforms which have helped make the
court the outstanding criminal tribunal in
the country—the 'key• number' jury sys-
tem and the bail bond bureau. The Amer-
ican Judicature Society recently described
the work of the bail bond bureau as 'mi-
raculous' and paid high tribute to Judge
Skillman for his part in its establishment."

"The 'key number' system, which Judge
Skillman patterned after a highly success-
ful jury system in Cleveland, placed the
selection of jurors on a scientifically im-
partial basis, thus eliminating professional
jurors, persons with criminal records and
political patronage. Legal societies always
have commended the 'key number' system
as a means of providing the best type of
juries.

In the Primary Election Judge
Lila M. Neuenfelt, Judge of the
City of Dearborn, was nominated
among the first 18 in the race
for Circuit Judge out of 54 can-
didates for the office.
Judge Lila Neuenfelt was the
only woman in the race for Cir-
cuit Judge, and made a remark-
able run for the office, surprising
the veterans in the political field.
Many people have felt for some
time the need for a woman on
the Circuit Bench in Wayne
County.
Judge Neuenfelt is fully quali-
fied to fill such a seat on the
Bench. She has already served
the citizens of the City of Dear-
born for the past 15 years, hav-
ing been elected and re-elected
five times, the last four elections
leading all candidates for contest-
ed offices by large majorities.
She has made an enviable record
in Dearborn, having tried over
48,000 cases of every type. She
has helped thousands by her kind
advice in their domestic and fi-
nancial difficulties. Her remark-
able vote in the Primary shows
that the citizens of Wayne Coun-
ty appreciate her ability, and her
kind and thoughtful way in han-
dling the many cases before her.
Wayne County needs a woman
of her caliber, social vlsion– and
ability upon its Circuit Bench.
Cast one of your 18 votes for her
on April 7, 1941.
Judge Neuenfelt will speak
over Radio Station WXYZ, Sat-
urday, April 5, between 5:30 and
5:45 p. m.
—Adv.

Judge Robert M. Toms, who
comes up for re-election to the
Circuit Court on Monday, April
7, is one of the judges whose
work has contributed materially
in making the Wayne County
Circuit Court recognized as among
the most efficient and well-admin-
istered tribunals in the country.
In seeking his third term as
Circuit Judge, Judge Toms
rounds out 20 years of public
service in Wayne County. He
entered the Prosecuting Attor-
ney's office in 1921, where he
served as Chief Assistant under
Paul Voorhies for four years. His
outstanding record in the work
was well known to the citizens of
the country, and he was elected
Prosecuting Attorney and re-
elected for a second term.
In 1929, he was elected Circuit
Judge, and was re-elected in 1935.
Now in his twelfth year on the
bench, he has won recognition
for his fairness and his com-
petency, and during this period
he has disposed of more than
7,500 cases.
As an authority in different
branches of the law, Judge Toms
has served as a member of the
Wayne University Law School
since 1932. He is presenting him-
self to the voters of the county
strictly on the basis of his expe-
rience and background for the
work, and his actual record on
the bench.

Actor David Warfield has been
in retirement for years, and is
nearing his 75th birthday—but
there's still a possibility that he'll
appear in a movie before too
long.
