A CALL upon Judges Cole and Casso-
day to consent to be candidates for re-
election is being circulated among the at
torneys of the state for their signatures.
1t has not yet made its appearance in this
city but probably soon will. So far as
Judge Cole is concerned there should be
no hesitancy on the part of the bar ire.
spective of party, in indorsing his candi-
dacy. His long service on the bench and
his invariable honesty and impartiality
should entitle him to a reelection with
out a contest. He is not eminent for his
ability. but long experience has made
him conversant with legal principles and
particularly with the jurisprudence of our
state. Beside he is not partisan. Very
few men are as free from the political
rancor and bias which prevail at present.
With Judge Cassoday it is different.
He is an extreme republican, and while
his partisanship may not interfere with
his judicial functions, the narrow, illiber-
al proceeding of Governor Smith in Sc
Letting two republicans for the supreme
bench is deserving of a protest at least.
There was such an outburst of indigna-
ton on the part of the republicans, and
with some reason, when a nomination
was made against Judge Cole few years
ago, that they are hardly in a position
now to defend their action in insisting
upon the election of two republicans to
the supreme bench. The democrats were
quite willing to concede the chief justice
ship to a republican. But Governor
Smith, guided only by that political
bigotry which characterizes all his acts,
ignored the many able democrats who
would give strength and responsibility to
the bench and selected two republicans.
And now republicans urging the re cleo
ton oftwo republicans appointed because
of their politics, deprecate the candidacy
of IA democrat, because, forsootb, it would
lead to party strife. Democrats are to
sit listlessly and make no effort because
republicans are in the field and party
strife is unadvisable. There would be no
contest if Governor Smith was as MIND
full of the proprieties of appointments to
judicial offices as his party seems now to
be of their election.

DEATH OF ANTON BRAASCH.

Anton Braasch, Register of Deeds,
died on Friday last at Jacksonville,
Florida. He was to leave for home
from that place, whittier he had
gone about one month ago, in the hope
that change of climate would improve his
failing health. Instead of improving he
grew worse and concluded to return.
Mr.. Braasch was born in Mishicott in
February. 1913, SO that he was SO years
old at the time of his death. He received
good common school education, and
taught school for one year in the village
of Mishicott. He held the position of
town clerk and justice of the peace for
many years. He was elected Register of
Deeds for Manitowoc county in the fall
of 1879, and on the succeeding January
entered into the discharge OF the duties
OF the Office. Before he had served nine
months his health began to fail and it
was apparent that the dread disease, con-
sumption, would soon claim him as vic
tim. But Mr. Braasch continued to work
in his Office until physical weakness fore
ed him to dicontinue labor of all kinds.
In the early part Of January he left for
Florida in company with his brother.
DR.. Simon and Robert Rudolph. He
left having but little hope that he would
return alive, and when bidding his friends
good bye said he thought it would be a
final one.
Mr.. Braasch was a young man of great
natural ability and made a model officer.
He was painstaking and took pride in do
ing his duty well. 1t is seldom that a
county officer is as well fitted for the po-
sition he holds as Mr.. Braasch was. He
was man of exemplary habits and his
loss is mourned by all who knew him.
His body arrived here on Monday even
ing and was taken to his fathers home at
Mishicott. His funeral took place yes
terday and was largely attended.

PEOPLE in this county were disposed
to look critically at the work of Judge
ellison and form opinions as to the char
acter of their Judge from first impressions
received. If Judge ellison left the bench
to-day he would be remembered in Man.

GUS judge. Lawyers and litigants feel
the utmost confidence in his integrity
and his rulings are received as the candid
unbiased opinion of an honest man.
Every person who has attended court
and who has an appreciation of the quail
tiles necessary in judge, predict that in
a few years Judge ellison will be ranked
among the ablest circuit judges of the

and when off the bench he is busy with
these. The people of the county feel
satisfied they made no mistake when they

SUICIDE AT KOSSUTH.

On Monday young man of Il, named
Leonard Koerster, committed suicide by
hanging at Kossuth. The manner of &C
complishing the deed eyinces determi-
nation unequaled in the annals of such
crime, and the causes which led to the
suicide are shrouded in mystery. The
| most singular feature is the determined
will which sustained the purpose, as he
had an opportunity to recede from his
object at any time before becoming I'M
| conscious.
| His mother sent him to the barn to do
something a few minutes before noon.
When dinner was on the table he did not
return and the meal was eaten without his
absence occasioning any alarm. After
dinner search was made for him, and he
was found, hanged to a rafter from the
| barn. The NOW was SO filed with hay
that there was not sufficient space be-
tween the hay and the rafter from which
the boy was suspended, to allow him to
stand upright. When found, his feet
touched the hay, and his body extended
upward diagonally, and his hands which
hung down limp, almost reached to the
hay. There was hardly space sufficient
for him to accomplish his purpose. A
strap was around his neck to which q
rope was attached, but the moose was so
large, that by placing his body in an up
right position the moose would pass over
his head.
The boy was healthy strong young
fellow and does not seem to have been
subject to moody fits. His father says
he was not particularly bright boy, in
fact was below the average in intelligence,
but was by no means weak-minded. On
the inquest held no evidence was given
which could throw any light upon the
deed. The jury found that the boy came
to his death by his own hand and he prob
ably did. But it is difficult to under
stand how boy having none of that re-
fined constituencies which domestic or
other difficulties would Cypress, could so
persistently labor for self obstruction.
