Our New Ticket,

twill be seen, by the proceedings of the
Democratic State Convention, that Shepard
/ +. Norris of Clermont, was nominated As
the Democratic candidate FOR Supreme
Judge! This is nomination in every way
decidedly 'ht to be made" Though COM
para'ively young in years, having not yet
attained middle age, Mr.. Norris public ca
reer has been one of unusual prominence
and activity. In 1917, he was elected II
membes OF the House of Representa- ives by
the people Of CIermont county, and returned
| to that body for the succeeding session. lie
was also elected member of the Constitu-
tional Convention from the same county
In all these positions, held during period
of great political agitation in our State, when
parties fought upon ISSUES, going into the
very midst OF elementary principles, of
Of government, Mr., Norris dcmeanor was
marked with great urbanlty towards his op-
ponents, and yet with perfect trmness ofad-
herance to Democratic doctrines. So pop
ular had he rendered himself by the praise
worthy manner in which he discharged his
duties as a legislator, and as a member Of
the Convention, that alter the adoption of
the Constitution, he was nominated by the
Democracy of his judicial subdivision, and
triumphantly elected to the Office of President
Judge OF the Common Pleas. Here he won
among all parties such hosts of friends, both
at the bar and among the people, that an
almost universal desire for his present nom

rendered Judge Norris throughout his en-
tire judicial district, that we seriously doubt
whether an organized opposition against his
election can be affected, We most confident
ly predict Judge Norris success at the polls
in October.
COL Alexander P. Miller was nominated
for the Office of Board Of Public Works. -
The confidence of the Democracy in Col.
Miller, was shown by the large vote by
which he was nominated on the first bal
lot. 1t is unnecessary for us to say aught
of the efficiency and executive ability of COL
Miller There is no man more generally or
better knownin Ohio. The duties of his
office have called him to all parts of the
State, and his free and cordial manners have
made him a Gsyorite personally with All
whose acquaintance he wa made VA. H
We fling our banner for another contest
Norris and Miller--relable Democrats
men of sound sense and discretion --men APP
proved BY the people eheretofore--tried by
their acts. A triumphant yindication of the
action Of the Convention will be given
when again the people cast their suf-
frages. 0. aa1 sss
We are not as yet advised whether these
gentlemen. will have any contestants for the
offices to which they are nominated. Iimay
be, that theirs will be the lonely honor Of
walking over the course. without even the

more Of an accommodation to the people ol

Shepard F. Norris.

There never was time when the inter.
ests of the people more imperatively de-
manded wise, firm, and honest judiciary
than the present. Such an one we now
have, and 10 such an one we should hold
fast, it we would give practical effect to
| those noble reforms which the people con-
Iemplated in the adoption of the present
Constitution. The corporate power of the
State has organized a rebellion against the
(. laws, and demands exemptions and immuni-
ties at war with common sense and popular
rights. TO yindicate the supremacy Of the
Constitution and laws, in this contest, our
chief reliance is unqn an incorruptible and
fearless Judiciary, thoroughly imbued with
the radical and progressive spirit of the age.
In the selection Of the nominee for Su
preme Judge, the Convention of Saturday
rejecting the true spirit of the people, made
choice OF SnEPARD +. NORRIS. He gpdoubt-
edIy had competitors for the nomination
who we're eminrntly deserving the support
Of the Democracy; but amopg them all,
there was no one whose position, in respect
to all the great landmarks which distinguish
the two parties, was better understood and
appreciated than that occupied by Mr.. Nor
ris. AS one Of the ablest members Of The
Convention which framed the present Con
stituti0n, there is no one who understands
better the true Interpretation Of that iustru.
