Hastings Banner: Judge Van lille of
Detroit, has announced himself as candidate
for Justice of the Supreme Court. His
qualifications for the high Office are too well
known to the people of Barry county, in
which he so long and so capably presided
as Circuit Judge, to need any comment
He is man of keen, logical mind, quick to
perceive aud impartial in action. In his
profession he has had an extensive expert
ence, which with close study and careful
thought has won for him high place In the
foremost ranks of Michigan's attorneys.
But 1t Is not alone as an eminent attorney
that he is known. His genial tempera-
ment, his kindly, companionabe ways, and
his sympathetic nature commend him to all
and are ever present with him, and speak
of an honest sympathetic heart. The
Supreme Court of our great state demands
the service of deep-thinking, broad minded,
fearless and impartial attorneys In love
with their profession. In Judge Van Zile
these commendable qualities are most hap
PLY blended and for this reason we should
like to see the people honor him and them
selves by placing him where he ought to be
-on the Supreme bench of the state.
