He said that he did not believe
that the party should 60 to Mr.
Glaspell with the offer of their sup
port but that if he wanted it he
should come and ask for it.
He believed that Mr.. Glaspell had
made a good Judge and that if he
would ask for their support in the
way it ought to be asked for, he for
one would support him.
In defense of the resolutions intro
duced Mr.. Williams said that he felt
himself fully justified and doing the
only right thing by introducing them
at the time. He did not believe the
action premature.
81 maybe fool on some matters
but do not believe that l am fool
enough nor do l think that any one
here will give me credit for being fool
enough to introduce such Ii set of reso-
lutionS as those under consideration
unless knew what | was about. AS
regards the statement made by the
last speaker that he did not believe
that Mr.. Glaspell had signifed his
Willingness TO accept the democratic
support and that if he had that it was
not known to three persons in the
room, for one, know that he has.
should not have introduced the reso-
lutionS otherwise and | have told
several Of the gentlemen present OF
the fact.
''The adoption Of the set Of reso-
lntions, gentlemen, is the only proper
course at this time. The opposition
have made 4 great mistake in turning
Mr.. Glaspell down. He is an able
judge. He has brought honor to the
county and district bv having been
! repeatedly called to counsel on the
supreme bench which has been an
honor accorded to few OF the district
/ judges CT this state. This testities to
his ability. donot believe IN throw
ing away a tried and satisfactory
ability for an unknown quantity.
"Here is chance for the de-
mocracy of the county to show its
loyalty to the county. Gentlemen,
take the judiciary above politics;
take it out Of politics altogether;
rise above your political ani1nosities
and demonstrate to the common
wealth at large that you are able to
pe loyal and Just to yourself and
county dispite these little political
animonsities. If done here it is not
without precedent. The same thing
has been done in other portions OF
the state. In Richland county the
Opposition took up Mr.. Lauder and
elected him. In Grand Forks county
both tickets have repeatedly indors-
ed Mr.. Fisk. And that is as it
should be. There are beyond doubt
in the counties named. and If not,
then in the districts, timber enough
and to spare to make good judges
but they have risen so far above poll
tics in judicial matters that they can
reason to their own good.
GAS for Mr.. Glaspell not having
notified the official head Of the coun-
ty central ommittee, do not be-
Il;eve that 1t is absolutely necessaI y
that he should. Is it impossible for
a man to receive the Endorsement or
support of this convention unless he
has first notified the head Of the cent
raj committee?
'Here is denocracy's opportunity
gentlemen; make the most Of it,
The resolutions were on motion
