The trumpet Blasts bearing as their
strain. economy on the bench, with
which the friends of Judge Cothren
opened the campaign have dwindled
down to a very feeble foot under the
weight of facts which have been present
ed proving the contrary. Investigation
proves that this claim, which al one time
was supposed to be valid by those who
were not directly interested in court
matters, is not sustained by the evidence.
In another column is published the
result of an overlooking of the court ex-
penses of Richland county, which is
fully as disastrous to Judge Cothren' 5
claims as the showing in Grant county.
This, together with the recent state
ments of fact in regard to the legal de-
cisionS of his Honor which have been
reversed by the supreme court, seems
hardly to have left any solid ground be-
meath the feet of the present incumbent
on which to stand while claiming re-
election. In the latter ease also Judge
Cothren is let off in the easiest possible
manner by taking the decisions as q
whole. Were we to 90 into scperatC
volumes it would be found that IN the
43 Wis, Rep, out of fourteen cases APP
pealed to the supreme court from this
district in all but two the action of the
lower court was reversed. Or in other
words that the supreme court has said
Judge Cothren was right during the
period covered by this report only one
seventh of the time What Il mockery
of justice have we here.
1t will not do for the friends ofJudge
Cothren to attempt to explain this away,
as has in some instances been tried, by
asserting that the Supreme court is nc
better versed in law than his Honor.
Such statement, left in its naked
ness for the contemplation of the voters
of the district would bear its silent wit
ness to the depths of despQndency into
which they have fallen. The Supreme
court is composed Of the ableSt judicial
talent of the state, Judge Cothren him.
self tried to get there twice but the
people rejected him as not a fit person
in both instances by heavy majorities.
The decisions of this court are the law
of the state unquestioned by none ex-
cept the supporters of Judge Cothren.
Hence, even if this plea was not inately
weak it is not necessary to 20 further in
noticing it.
The Supreme court has said that
Judge Cothren is wrong from one hall
to one seventh of the time, the records
show that his claims of economy are not
founded on fact but just the contrary.
One of the final arguments used by his
friends in urging his reelection Is that
he has been tried. You. reader. see how
he has been tried, and in how great a
measure he has been found wanting.
His reputation like great balloon ex-
plodes at the first prick of fact. With
You rests the decision whether he shall
be returned or whether you viii take in
his stead a man of the people and who
is in full accord with the people. The
responsibility rests with you. Carefully
compare both Candidate We have no
hesitancy in asking this as an impartial
weighing of the merits Of the two can
didates will certainly rebound to the
credit Of George Clementson who should
in that case receive your vote.

No matter how great the outrages or
however overwhelming the number of
thugs, murderers, cowboys or any other
criminal class, may be that oppose the
civil authorities in any state. the troops
of the regular army cannot be used as a
posse commitatus to assist in reducing
them to order. Yet they can be used TO
save the neck Of a deprayed criminal,
and when an honest soldier, maddencd
by his disgusting duty, in moment Of
rage fires at the spot where the grinning
countenance Of the rillianous wretch
usually appeared, he is arrested, clap
ped in vile cell for six months and
then sentenced by court of carpet

the crown which the people are weay-

extremely probable that before the al

pie, surrounded though he may be by
