| REPLY TO THE
CIRCULAR OF THE
morris Campaign COM
mittee, in Behalf of
Judge Gober:
j., nrrrrA GA, February Goth, 1904.

To the People Oh Uiie DUO w.
r.oro has been sent out circular
Inv ,urnorts to come from the Morris
thaSnPp;gn Committee, which contains
U aIit; statements to which attention
'cFl tsuod This is done in the interest
NJ NJ Morris candidacy, and the pre-
V VI is that, after having gone over
s un ppronnd. those interested have sent
wy. wv 93orth as a compendium OF the rea
Iaa Uhv he should be elected to the
Office Of Judge 4ho+
shall always produce the best evidence
t nature of the case will admit OF.
Another is that where a party. IN order
70 snstain his claims, produces false
e a this fact is evidence itself Of
tho falsity of his contention.
Il Is concluded, therefore, that these
rontIomen having Mr. Morris claims at
Soort have presented them in the
s ~rTn possible light from their
stand1oint. When people go into print,
there Is no power TO compel them, be-
Tond the behests of moral suasion, to
either publish or not publish anything;
tbav can either publish the whole truth,
half the truth, or bold misrepresenta-
tions. as their purposes of interest may
demand It must, however, be remem-
berpd that any man who presents his
claims TO the people of the great Blue
PidCp Circuit is addressing an honest,
unright and intelligent people-that
tbey are fair-and that any effort to
other misrepresent or mislead will re-
bound upon the author.

made: Judge Gober has held good
having offices for the last twenty-seven
wears, and out Of these offices he has
made over one hundred thousand dol
lars, Think of til For the last twenty
seven years, work or play, Sundays in
GUIDED, Judge Gober has averaged
drawing more than ten dollars every
day out of the public till"
The truth in reference to this state
ment is that Judge Gober was admit
ted to the bar on the 9th of June, 1877,
and will have been q lawyer twenty
! seven years on the 9th of June, 1904
He vent into the office of Solicitor
General on the first of January, 1881,
and held thai Office for eight years.
He vas paid q salary "out of the public
tilP' of two hundred and fifty dollars
per year as Solicitor General, along
with which he got the costs and fees
that the law allowed him, and which is
allowed any other man who holds the
office. In the eight years he got from
the Solicitor Generals office "out of
the public till' two thousand dollars.
At the end of the year 1888 he went out
Of office and went to practiciEg law :.
Judge VIM was then Judge. Judge
Gober practiced law until the latter
part OF 1889, and was at that time max
ing great deal more out Of the prac-
tlce of law than the salary of Judge.
When Judge VIM died, he was elected
Judge of the Superior Court without
opposition, and he has held that office
SINCE then without opposition, except
'he race made against him by Mr. SEES
sions in 1900
Now, upon these facts, there is Meth
ef reason or excuse for the statement
maze IN this circular sent out by the
MOTIFS Campaign Committee above re-
NtfeO TO. 1t is not true, and there is
no' man in this circuit so ignorant as
" oeleve That where a Judge draws
Two thousand dollars year as salary
mat 1t would amount to ten dollars per
Jay as charged. There are 365 days in
the year, and at ten dollars a day will
e 1880 And, still, this is one reason
JAy these gentlemen think Mr. Norris
sloud be elected Judge. Itwould take
Siuan nifty years, acting as Judge and
S5raSslhg a salary $4,000 to make one
INJURED thousand dollars, to say moth
VI MS expenses, which he must pay
