Mack Lacks
Legal Lore.

LCS0A LO1Os
1.-THE enemies of Judge Mack are en-
tirely mistaken with reference to my
position. | have not undertaken any
defense OF the Judge, nor his election.
He can carry himself. -Four years ago
the lawyers and business men demanded
that some one run against Judge Rising,
because the Judge neglected business.
Not a man dared undertake the defeat of
Rising. Judge Mack was enjoying a lu-
~crative law practice amounting to over
5000 a year, and he gave it up to ac-
commodate The public, as well as to sat
isfy his own ambition. He is out OF
pocket thousands of dollars by having
done SO, and his practice is gone. 1t
will take years to get it back. But | can
assure the public today that he does not
care a snap OF his finger whether he is
reelected or not. The public have cried
against corporations for the last thirty
years, and accused the corporations Of
owning the judiciary. Mack has proved
that he is not owned or controlled by any
man or set of men,. Ii the people prefer
TO 20 back to the old order of things, |
can tell them on the part OF Judge Ma k
that they are perfectly welcome. The
rule all over the world is to keepa Judge
during good behavior. Let the personal
enemies OF Judge Mack and of the peo-
pie reverse the rule, and welcome to
them. | am accused OF having an AK to
grind in tuis matter. 1t is a lie. have
received no favors from Judge Mack in
any form soever. He has appointed me
attorney for absent heirs in two matters
only. In n got $20 pay, and L sub
~stquently put out ~ ,5oO to save the es-
tate to the heirs. In the other. l was
appointed at the request ot the heirs and
got s25 pay. | AVE reversed Judge Mack
as often as any other attorney practicing
before him, showing him no favors on
that score. 1 have rot a word to say

Judge Mack's record is AS good as that
oi any other Judge, says III
the GENOA courier.
When Slim Jim the bunco sharp oper-
ated his shell game he played for bibles
if he couldn't play for gold. The nature
of the stakes did not change the pm
clple. Q~uelquefols' statement now that
he has not undertaken the election OF
Judge Mack after his offered gold bars
have been accepted Tor brass bricks will
not mislead anybody or cause the Mack
constituents to accept brass filings for
gold dust, or cause anybody TO forget the
very nasty threats employed to intimi-
date the people OF Douglas county. 1t is
common knowledge that Judge Mack is
a political accident. The suffering pub
lie could afford to donate him a judges
salary to keep him oft the bench and
then make a splendid investment. The
