[In 1924,] James Greer McGowen (age 54) of Water Valley, for ten years a chancellor, and Charles Phillip Long (age 58) of Tupelo, a circuit judge for five years, ran for the seat being vacated by E. O. Sykes, who was retiring.^[1]

Neither candidate advertised or campaigned actively, and McGowen won a narrow victory on August 19, 1924.^[1]

[In 1932], McGowen (age 62) of Water Valley, on the supreme court since 1925, was challenged by two-term Chancellor Norfleet Sledge... McGowen ran a campaign emphasizing his bar, civic, and judicial credentials, and that he had "contributed two sons to the World War who saw service in France".^[1]

McGowen again narrowly won reelection.^[1]

[In 1940,] McGowen (age 70) of Water Valley, first elected in 1924, was opposed by Fred H. Montgomery (age 57), an attorney in private practice in Clarksdale and former president of the city's Chamber of Commerce. ... McGowen won easily.^[1]
