under any circumstances. have a
prejudice against it some way. | have
idea that a man who is a candidate
for a judicial position shouldn't be a
politician. | have an idea that a man
who may be called upon to sit in judg-
where the rights of the people are
at stake, should never say or do any
thing that would make any man his
enemy, or that should cause one of his
fellow citizens to say of him anything
toward any one.
You know we all have our ~prejudices.
we're all UNAVAILABLE to be moved
from the even tenor of our way by IN
kindly criticisms. Now If a man who
is a candidate for an Office of this kind
never talks. there is nc occasion for I'M
kindly criticism. The district judge
comes in direct contact with the peo-
Pile. Whoseevcr rights are at stake.
they come before him personally. He
sees them. If they are his enemies on
one side. and his friends on the other.
he realizes the fact and at once there
comes a fear over him if he wants to do
the right thing. lest he may favor the
friend or wrong the enemy. Now, be-
cause of this fact, | don't propose to
make any speeches in this campaign.
Il is different with a candidate for the
supreme court. He never ONE in con-
tact directly with the persons whose
rights are to be determined. With him
are the written pages.-the record
that he must examine and work over,
and from that determine the right or
wrong of the case. He sees not the
persons: he never thinks of persons.
He delves in the musty record to de-
termine the right of the case without
respect of persons. So. with him who
is the candidate for the office of JUS
tice of the supreme court. | think he
may talk to you as much as he pleases
without fear of doing any one harm
or of having his judgment swayed in
the least by anything that may be said
or done during a campaign.
So my distinguished friend Judge
Groesbeck, the present chief justice OF
