Reasons Why Granger Should not
be Elected.

In the first place he is n partisan
and the nominee OF a political par
tisan convention; and secondly,
many members OF the bar, and other
well posted citizens, many Of whom
are republicans, do not believe he
possesses the necessary qualifications
CT mind and education for n Judge.
But the gravest objection to his
reelection Is that the Office OF Judge
is clearly uncomfortable with another
Office he now holds, viz: Grand
Master Of the Grand Lodge OF Free
and Accepted Masons Of Iowa. 1t is
simply impossible for any man to
perform the duties Of both Offices.
He must neglect thu duties OF one
Office or the other. The Judges
predecessor in the Office Of Grand
Master for the year ending in June,
1884, travelled about 10000 miles. and
worked 2O2 days in the performance
of his duties rs Grand Master, for
which he was paid rs compensation
and expenses about $4,000, and it is
safe to say that the Judges duties
will be no less than his predecessors.
1t will not do to say that the Judge
can discharge the duties of Judge by
neglecting the duties OF Grand Mast
er. The officer who neglects the
duties OF one of several Offices will
soon learn to neglect all.
1t does seem that as the Judge
grows older his love for Office grows
apace. At the time of his election
rs Grand Master 1t was understood
here that he desired to be candi-
date for congress, but we are inform
ed that his friends in the Grand
Lodge sat down on that. If this is
so, OF which we have no doubt, 1t is
but reasonable to suppose that Il
they had known that he wanted to
be candidate for Judge they would
have sat down on that also, for it
seems to us that an election to con-
gress would have interfered less
with his duties OF Grand Master
than the judgeship, for in fact he
wonld not have taken his seat in
congress until his term as Grand
Master had expired.
There seems to us another potent
reason why the two offices cannot
be held with proprety by the same
person. We are not a Mason, but
we are not an anti Mason. We have
the highest respect for that and
other similar benevolent organiza-
tons founded on charity and good
will to man, but.the fact remains that
thousands OF conscientious citizens
differ with us in that. They have
fears that the obligations OF the
highest officer Of the order are hard
ly compatible with the obligations
OF Judge, and we ask is it best to
crowd the mourners to far. There
! are mt least two religious organiza-
tons, having numerous member
ship in this district, which admit no
members to their churches who are
Masons; there are also many other
citizens who have convictions, oi
greater or less strength, against the
order, and to all such the idea OF 4
Judge drawing a salary about equal
from the State and the Lodge and
directing duties about equal bewteen
the two jurisdictions will not seen
right, and the people generally can
not be brought to see 1t otherwise
