"a petition is circulating among the
attorneys, asking both political parties
to indOrse the present district judges as
their OWN successors. Ordinarily every
body signs every petition presented to
him by respectable man without care
or consideration whatever. 1t is par
ticularly an unfair method of securing
Endorsement for a judge. as many mo-
tiveS will cause the average attorney to
sign such petition, the principal one
being fear that he may be marked
man in his future cases If he does not.
