County is interested in filling the |
Offices within the gift Of the people
by men good and true-by men Of
ability and understanding, and we
take occasion here to briefly make
mention of the men who have been
endorsed by the Democratic party
and who are willing and competent
to fulfill and discharge the duties
of the Offices to which they aspire.
JUDGES SUPREME COURT.
In a few weeks all voters in old
Benton will be called on to vote for
men who have been nominated to
fill the highest Office within the gift
Of the people. They should weigh
we'll the qualifications and adapta-
bility of the respective aspirants
for the supreme bench. Men are
wanted for the bench who have the
pride of their profession, who are
learned in the law, who are willing
to work and whose personal stand
ing is high and above the clamor
for partisan spoils. The coterie of
legal giants, W. G. Caldwell, W. K.
McAlister, d. L. Snodgrass, John
S. Wilkes and W. d. Beard, who
head the Democratic ticket, are all
these and more-they have attain
ed eminence in their profession in a
State where the lawyers are the very
best in the world, and their ripe
learning has been recognized both
in and even beyond the confines of
the grand old Volunteer State.
The mixed judicial ticket pre-
scented by the Populites and Re-
publicans and the talk about elect
ing a non-partisan judiciary is the
silliest kind of subterfuge that will
fail Of its object. A glance is only
necessary to see that this unholy
alliance has for its object the hope
Of getting ofice-that is the prime
object-no more and no less. The
contest, therefore, is Of extraordi-
nary Importance and interest, and
it behooves Democrats to be Oh
their guard and hot permit the sly
articles of the common enemy tc
, succeed.
