the study of the law for year with J.
Allen Barber, at Lancaster. He was
admitted to the bar in the spring of 1868,
and in the fall of that year was elected
district attorney of Grant county, hold
ing that office for two terms.
In the fall of 1868, Hon. J. Allen Bar
Der offered to take him in as partner.
This offer Mr.. Clementson accepted and
the law firm of Barber & Clementson
continued until Mr.. Barber's death in
June 1881. Upon Mr.. Barber's election
to congress in 1872, and from that time
on, the management of the firms extern
slve law practice fell entirely upon Mr..
Clementson. By hard study, and strict
attention to business, and the ability he
displayed in the trial of cases, he speed
lily placed himself in the front rank of
the bar of Southwestern Wisconsin, and
when it became question who should
be brought out to oppose Judge Cothren
at the judicial election of 1882, the senti-
ment was unanimous that it should be
Mr.. Clementson. Although the judicial
circuit was Republican, Judge Cothren's
popularity with the people was so great
that he had been elected in 1876, by
oyer 1,20O majority. The Republican
convention to nominate candidate for
judge of the fifth circuit was held in
Dodgeville in February, 1882; without a
dissenting vote it nominated Mr., Glenn
entson; and after most exciting cam
paign he was elected by over 2,200
majority. When his first term expired,
Judge Clementson informed his friends
that he would never again be party
candidate for a judicial office. In 1888
and again last spring he was elected
Judge of the fifth circuit non-parti-
san candidate. Since his election to the
bench thirteen years ago, Judge Glenn
entson has absolutely refrained from
taking any part in politics.
Judge Clementson was very reluctant
to come out as a candidate against Judge
Winslow, but the pressure brought to
bear upon him was SO great that he at
last yielded.
Judge Clementson stands very high as
a judge, his fairness being one of his
conspicuous characteristics. He is not a
stickler for legal technicalities, but every
litigant in his court is assured that he
will receive justice, whether he be rich
or poor. Among the recent notable
cases in which Judge Clementson has
presided is that of John B. Koetting,
the Milwaukee ex-banker.

Water Commission.

There is to be a meeting of water
power owners, lumbermen and others
interested in the water supply of the
Wisconsin River at Wausau to-day.
Delegations from Tomahawk, Rhine
lander, Merrill, Stevens Point, and
Grand Rapids are expected to be
present to settle upon some basis of
agreement as to the bill now before the
Legislature for the formation of water
commission, to regulate and control the
flow of water in the rivers of this State.
The bill is mainly based upon the New
York statute for similar cases. It is to
be hoped an amicable understanding
may be reached so that the experience
of last summer may be avoided in the
future.
