Dr. Félix Almaraz first perked my interest in history during my Freshman year at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio.

I was majoring in political science, and that, I thought, would equip me to make a difference in the present and the future.

If Hollywood made the Parr story into a movie, the ".••• •••••:, critics would say they were unbelievably violent and corrupt, that they tore passion to tatters, to very rags . In this mundane era, failing politicians are supposed to fade pathetically away, abondoned by the press and ignored by the public. Not George Parr. His political organization in shambles, faced with the possibility of returning to prison, George drove out to a lonely spot on his sister Hilda's ranch and put a bullet through his head.

Background on Judicial Elections Unlike the federal model of judicial selection, the model for the selection of state judges has undergone significant change through- out American history.' Until the mid-1800s, state judicial selection generally adhered to the federal model, emphasizing the appoint- ment of judges. Typically, judges were selected by gubernatorial appointment coupled with confirmation by a special commission or the legislature; in some cases, judges were appointed directly by the state legislature. 2 The emergence of Jacksonian egalitarian democratic ideals in the nineteenth century brought about a grow- ing belief that judges, like other public officials, should be account- able to the voting public? As that ideal gained acceptance among reformers, states began moving away from legislative and guberna- torial appointment and toward the selection of judges by popular election.
