Judge Rainey denounces an unsigned circular circulated in the county by the opposition. He says its contents are largely untrue and slanderous, and maintains he will conduct his Supreme Court campaign with honor and on a high plane.
The circular overstates Rainey’s land holdings in Southeast Oklahoma while noting most of his property is unimproved, purchased before his judgeship, or held in small, mortgaged tracts. Records show the bulk of his holdings are modest, with larger 160 acre farms in the district surpassing his equity. The critique links these misleading claims to a broader political tactic against a Democratic gubernatorial contender.
The critic cites Judge Rainey as removing a child from a father and placing him with grandparents. The father had little involvement after his partner’s death, and the grandparents, devout Christians, raised the boy. The judge believed the boy would become a better man with his grandparents, aligning with the child’s wishes.
