BRAVE WORDS FROM JUDGE
ZANE.

sIs 4 government which rests OF
the will OF tho people. the people
kould see that that viii is expressed
that it shall not rest upon deception
and fraud, nor on the action OF a rasca
and a wretch who attempts TO over.
throw the expression Of the people,
will, and thereby commits a crime
akin to treason itself under the gov.
ernmeni which protects him"
The foregoing is sentence from
the decision OF Chief Justice
Charles S. Zane ia the case Of
Young Us. Williams, particulars Of
which viii be found in another
column. They are brave WORKS.
The sentiments they express win
be echoed in the hearts OF all citi-
zens who love justice and despise
trickery. They are brave words be-
cause they reflect upon the party
which is now running things here
with a high hand, which shelters
every rascal who viii DO its bidding,
and which is murderously vindic-
tive against all who oppose It's
yillainy and expose its methods.
There is little doubt in the public
e mind that Richard w. Young was
elected 10 the Office now held by
Farley L. Williams, and that he was
swiHdled out Of his seat on the Board
q Education by "Liberal'' trickery.
and a concerted scheme in which the
substitute Judge Of election was but
one Of the parties.
The strong and pertinent language
Of Judge Zane smites every partici-
pator in the election frauds that
have been perpetrated under Glib
eral" auspices. Il reaches back
and falls with crushing force upon
the retired executive who certified TO
lie, ito overthrow the expression Of
the peoples will, and thereby com.
United a crime akin 10 treason, n
strikes with paralyzing power the
wretches who unlawfuily registered
men outside Of this city that they
might swell the s'Liberal', vose AZ
the municipal election. 1t darts fire
into the souls Of those persons who
have usurPed the places uf the
chosen city officers OF the people. II |
reaches by its sweeping strokes every |
"Liberal'' registration and election
all who have championed
or condoned their criminal conduct.
There is another point made by
Judge Zane that is worthy Of speciaI
attention. 1t is this: ssThe people
should see that it government shall
not rest upon deception and fraud. ;,
This indicates the duty OF the peo-
pie when they are made the victims
Of political conspirators. They ought
not to accept the situation quietly.
nor permit such villainy to 20 unex-
posed even if they feel convinced
that In spite OF their efforts il would
20 uRpunishei. Il Is the duty of
men and communities 10 contend .
or their rights, and to throw light 6
Ipon deeds Of darkness, even though I
hey may have no prospect OF i'm {
mediate success. The truth is bound ]
n time TO come uppermost and Jus.
ice issure eventually to be done. n
The complainant in this case is 10 {
e commented FOR his perseverance p
n just cause. The rightfuI claim a
nts to the city Offices for the Third e
nd Fourth Precincts shouII con- Il

ave been cheated. And the citi- o
ems who desire that ele.tions shall Il

1ajority OF the legal voters snail c
revsii, should see t. it that the "
