Justice In politics and between pOlltI

by u partisan convention. ana was nj
forwards elected. and so ably and eff
. clently has he discharged the manifold
duties of his office that the opposing
political party indorsesl him for re-elc,
ton at the close Of his last term.
In addition to these consideration,
the nbsurdity of the idea Is accentuatc
by the fact that whenever sO-calle
non.partisan tickets are put up the non
nations are divided between the wv
par,ies-so many Republicans and :
