'From the Valley city Alliance.
In the early part of this year a
gentleman who does not reside in
Barnes county, but who, does reside
in an adjoining county, having some
aspirations for the Judgship of the
Fifth Judicial District (which is in it.
self comnendable) but finding the
present incumbent, Judge Rose popu-
lar with the people of the district, be-
gan systematic plan to bring the
Judge into disfavor and disrepute with
them by the preparation and publica-
ton of number of articles in the
Times-Record of this city. Among
the articles was one entitled
''Reversals Galore which appeared
in said paper on Thursday, April 3D..
this year and disparaging articles in
reference to Judge Rose have also
since appeared in the Peoples Advo-
cate of this city in the issue of that
paper Sept. 30th, last; all emanating
from the same source and for the
same purpose.
The articles arc all false and untrue,
as the author of them we'll knows,
and as the people of this district will
see from the explanation herein made,
and the information furnished them.
The article entitled "Reversals
Galore" would need no explanation
except for the reason that the author
thereof failed to give his readers all
the truth concerning the matter of the
article, He only gave SO much of the
truth as suited his purpose and with
held the rest, which is characteristic
OF his methods and serves to show his
unfairness to not only Judge Rose,
but to the people to whom he had
addressed his article.
The object and purpose of the artic-
les which have appeared in the
Peoples Advocate are SO plain and
transparent to every Intelligent read
er that no comment is necessary.
The Times-Record and no doubt
the Peoples Advocate) has been
mailed to many persons throughout
Judge Roses district without their
solicitation and free of expense to
them, and it will no doubt be discon-
tinued to do SO as soon as the election
is over, and some Of them will wonder as
to whom is their benefactor and what
his purpose was in sending them the
paper. but most of them have ere this
discovered who he is and what his
purpose was.
The evident purpose of the article
above mentioned as we'll as all the
other articles which have appeared in
this paper respecting Judge Rose, was
to bring him into disfavor and disre-
pute with the people in mis- district by
statements therein, whereby he desired
them to- believe that Judge Rose had
been reversed by the Supreme Court a
great many more times than the other
Judges in the state had been, and that
he was unworthy of their support any
longer.
Now if this gentleman p Sam
Glaspell, had desired to be fair with
the people and to Judge Rose. why
did he not institute a fair comparison
between the work done by Judge Rose,
and that done by each Of the other
judges in the state, by truthfully in
forming the people of the number OF
cases in which each had been reversed,
in cases that had been appealed from
their courts to the supreme court, as
this was the only fair way that q COM
parison could be made. He evidently
did not want to make fair COMPARE
son, but simply desired to bring Judge
Rose into disrepute and thus accomp-
lish the purpose he has had in mind
for nearly, or quite, eighteen months
past, as is we'll known by many living
in the district.
We have made a careful examina-
tion OF the statements made in the
article alluded to and find them untrue
and deceptive.
We have examined all the cases
decided by each and all of the judges
in the state since the beginning Of
| statehood down to the. present time
