MINISTER'S OF DUBUQUE PROTEST
COnsignfng of Justus Seward to a
Pauper's Grave Displenses Them.

The action Of the coroner in consign-
ing Justus Stewards remains to a pauper
grave without religious ceremony mas
brought out a public protest on behalf
of the Christian ministers of Dubuque,
Iowa. Seward was Secretary William H.
Stewards nephew. Forty years ago he
met with disappointment in love, which
affected his mind, and he retired to the
country to work for the farmers. He
started for the cows last Sunday evening
and an hour later was found dead on the
road by his employer.

VOTERS, DO YOU KNOW THE
RECORD?


In the last Isl cases appealed to
the Supreme Court from Judge
Bundy's decisions { Wis. Reports
Vols. SO to 80 } 81 cases have been
reversed, nearly sixty per cent.
More than half of the cases APP
pealed from this circuit within
the past Is years have been re-
versed. Within the last five
years, out of 81 cases appealed
from Bundy's decisions, 80 have
been reversed see Vols. 80 to 80,
Wis. Reports. nearly sixty per
cent OF the cases appealed during
the last five years have been re-
versed. Examine the reports
yourself. The cases appealed
from other circuits taken at ran.
dom are as follows:
Judge Webb appealed So, reversed ID, per
cent reversed, 25(
Judge Clementson, appealed 81, reversed
81, per cent reversed, 30.
Judge Hastings, appealed 3S, reversed 10
per cent reversed, rs.
Judge Bundy, appealed 81, reversed 80,
per cent reversed, SO.
Can anybody say, after reading
these figures, that the opposition
to Judge Bundy IS political only.
Voters, consider what these fig
ures mean. An unparalleled
number of cases sent back by the
supreme Court for a new trial.
The reversal of case and new
trial means additional expense for
the county and for the litigant.
1t makes justice needlessly expen-
sive. In view of these figures,
how many times has not justice
miscarried because the defeated
party was too poor to appeal his
case? Every voter, irrespective of
party, is equally interested In
maintaining an able and honest
judiciary. Can any intelligent
voter favor the retention on the
bench Of judge whose decisions
are wrong more than half the
time! Does auy tax payer desire
to have his country foot unneces
sary expense for trying casess
The eau Sc of this great nun Der
of reversals may be due to lack OF
ability, poise or patience, each
voter may determine for himself,
but certainly there is something
wrong. In Mr.. Helms is offered
clean, capable lawyer who will
develop and rank from the
start. as the peer of other mem
bers of the bench throughout the
state. Every voter, regardless Of
political affiliations, should do h is
duty and preserve the credit of the
Eighth Judicial Circuit.

MORE LIGHT.

We have been shown a copy of
a circular letter signed, John A.
Murphy, purporting to be sent
from Superior, which is beng sent
to voters In this Judicial circuit,
quite extensively, extolling Judge
Bundy and instructing the voters
of the Circuit as to their duty at
the coming election; urging
Judge BIS Poverty as a reason
why he sh ould be given another
term, of six years, in his old
age.
Six years ago Judge Bundy, by
letter to attorneys and others y
the Circuit, on the same plea, ask :
ed for just one term more with
the assurance that he would not
ask it again. And in charity his
request was granted and no oppOs :
ition candidate was put up. But
when it transpired that he was alb
lie to build an $4,000 dwelling,
with all the modern improve
ments, which he now occupies,
the poverty was not so apparent
To us common plugs, who are
thankful for a cabin or cottage TO
cover our heads and who toll for
our daily bread, with no salary
drawn from the peoples treasury,
it is mystery, how a man pro-
Tossing to be competent to adjust
and adjudicate the financial ques-
tions inv olved In all the business
transactions of the whole people,
out of salary of 81, 10000 per
year. for 90 years, could not save
few dollara for support III his
old age. And it Is equally strange
to US, that with over so attorneys
in his circuit, 1t becomes neces-
sary to send $50 miles out of the
circuit, to find one to extol the
Judges qualifications, and en-
tighten the voters of this circuit,
as to their duties and obligations.
Mr.. Helms is not a candidate by
call by himself prepared and mail
ed to the voters with request to
sign and return to him. But he is
regularly nominated by delega ties
appointed directly by the vot ers
of the several precincts of the cir
cult. He does not need to send
abroad and engage correspondents
to write to voters here vo uehing
for his qualifications. He is will
ing to trust that to the opinion Of
the attorneys Of his home circuit,
who of all men are most compe-
tent to speak on that question,
after years of legal practice with
and opposed to him in every var
iety of cases, brought into the
conrts. Voters, Ask Them.
A word on the non-partisan
cry; This circuit elected it's first
Judge in 1854. S. S. w. Fuller
was then nominated by the dem
ocrats nd w. j. Copp by the Re-
publicans; Fuller, democrat, was
elected. Six years later, Weth erly
was nominated by the democrats
and Spencer by the Republic ans.
Wetherly, democrat, was ell ect-
ed. Six years later. Hump rey
was nominated, by the Repub-
Iicans and Wetherly, by the dem
ocrats. Humphrey, Republican,
was elected. He VISA succeeded by
the present incumbent.
Of the 40 years since the fir st e.
lection, the judges of this circuit
have been, democrats 80 y ears.
Republican 10 years. And still
they CRY partisan, because a
republican is nonlinated-Prescott
