d. F.. Corbeti What do | think ~
the nomination II Fallass for Judge.
Well. | think il was singular nomina-
ton for a modern convention 10 make.
When a modern convention Is about 10
nominate a candidate. the inquiry is
what particular class has he "a cinch on.
liz II the working meny Is IL the saloon
elements or some other special class!
But II can't be said tad fallass owns
any particular class. or that any partic-
ular class owns him. He has opinions
81 his own, and he will stand by these
opinions regardless Of all classes. he
knows nothing about the saying Of
Talleyrand. that language is the means
by which We conceal our thoughts. His
language is used for the purpose 81 ex-
pressing his thoughts. and he uses il for
that purpose. whether he makes votes or
loses them. Ii he is elected he will
work hard 10 know the law, and then he
will deal il out to all applicantswithout
regard 10 classes or conditions. We
hear considerable this spring about non
partisan judges. In Fallass we would
have non partisanism in it's practical
form.
Isn't that what we want? Yes, but it
Is not what rogues want, and they will
not permit him 10 be elected IL il can be
helped.
