4 assembled, hereby affirm:
That the Judges of a people should
DO removed assfar as may be possible
from partisan conditions; that a just,
nDn-partisan Judiciary is an honor
land of highesrsmomeNt to any state;
that minority representation has
been very successfully tried in one
ator more districts in t(kis state and we
4 therefore ask that a reasonable min
/ Gritty representation be permitted in
ltthe judgeshipe of beth district and
assupreme courts; and to such end we
aynow concede two Judges to the Re
itpublicans IN this judicial district and

of 1t ia his, and characterized the
sseheme as being Republicsn helper.
Col. Maekey followed Mr.. Wooster,
defending the resolutions. He
drought cut the fact that he end Mr..
Wooster had changed sides during
the past four years. Then Mackey
was in favor of nominating three
judges and Wooster but enc. Mackey
won then and got three nominated.
Now, however, he felt that IL only
one was nominated and little trick
cry and guerilla warfare and trading
was carried on during the campaign
that one might.stand some show.

of the resolutions.
On motion the resolutions were
carried by almost unanimous vote,
