VOTE FOR EMBOSSED JUDGES.
APPEALS OF JUDICIARY NOMI-
MAJORS TO THE EAST SIDE.

Governors Come n Go Every Two Years.
but the Judge Remains Twelve Years
Judge Cohen Comments on some OF
the Hearst-Murphy Collection.
John L. Cadwslsder. president Of the
Bar Association. and ex-Judge William N.
Cohen were the principal speakers at a meet
ing held in Clinton Hall on Clinton street
last night to impress upon the East Side
! voters the necessity for casting their ballots
for the Embossed judicial ticket put forward
by the Judiciary Nominators. Prof. James
H. Hamilton, head worker OF the University
Settlement, presided.
All the speakers dwell much on the theme
that the meeting was in no sense a political
one. Mr.. Cadw slader and Judge Cohen
also referred again and again to the import
anoe Of the coming election aside from the
question OF the election of a Governor.
Judge Cohen aroused the most enthusiasm
while he ran along the list Of Murphy
Hearst Judicial candidates and scored
some OF them by name.
New legislation has made it necessary
for us this year to elect ten new Judges that
the mass Of business before the courts
might be expedited" said Judge Cohen.

saw the dangers that might come from
a bossed bench. The Judiciary Nominators
got together and asked for suggestions.
and from the many names given them
they weeded the sheep from the goats.
These names have been before you
since last July. Have you heard a word
again INST them? Wouldn't the ratlike poll
ticians have unearthed ANYTHING against
- "A A.. .z,Il 10 ang N|uv contrast
them with the men put forward through
a deal by Murphy and Hearst-a deal
] brought about so these bosses could pay
! their political debts.
Take John Ford, for instance. He began
as a Republican. Last rear he was on the
Independence League ticket. This year ne
was put on the leagues State ticket and
assured that he would be on that ticket
until election day. But election day isn't
here yet and now he's on the Murphy ticket.
One thing about Mr.. Ford that makes him
look as if he were not a Hearst man IL that
he is the attorney for a corporation known a
the Ocean Accident Company: Applause
Take Seabury: While still a Judge ana
with the udicia robes on his shoulders
he went up to the Independence League
convention and helped put up the rake
candidates there that were to be knocked
down at the right time. Is that the work
a dignihed judiciary should engage M
But his reward for doing II was his nomi-
nation for a judicial Office by the bosses.
What is Brady on that ticket fort Be-
cause he is a district leader? And Il Hen
drick on it because he ~ the attorney tor a
trucking company in which Murphy, white,
" not Interested, and OF which Murphy,
black, il a member? Judge Cowing OF
General Sessions has served faithfully Tor
twenty-eight years and now with all TINS
training and experience he Is kicked down
the back stairs by the bosses because Tam
many needs the General Sessions ana It's
patronage.
Hearst or Hughes has nothing to do
with this question. For twelve years after
the next Governor has gone ont OF ONCE
these judges will still be on the bench.
The influence OF some Of them will reach
every corner Of the State just as much as
the Governors. You've had experience
right in this neighborhood with a 6ossed
Judge. You had a Bolte, a bossed judge;
As the lawyers Of New York removed
Bolte. a bad Judge, they will put Embossed
and good judges on the bench. Applause.
-Tammany will tell you their candidates
also are lawyers. Yes, they are lawyers
and also there are political hacks on their
ticket who have spent their time in district
clubs and committee rooms and 40 nave
won advancement. Every incompetent
Judge costs the taxpayers from 200 500 TO
$500 900 a year through blunderings that
result in mistrials, appeals and other delays.
/ ask you to make your cross under the
triangle and 80 vote for ht men VINO are not
political hangers on. Throw your defiance
! at the ftcdfSJS anu tie Wui pHyS HhN soy
to them: You will at least not elect our
judges for U.S.
MANY of the men on the bossed bench
ticket are not dishonest said Mr.. Cad
walader, but. as Judge Cohen says, theirs Is
a ticket made up OF fine old hack politicians.
We all rave to 90 to a court for Justice az
some time. and we don't want the merits OF
our case decided by fine old hack politicians
who have been the associates OF the bosses
in committee rooms and barrooms, n SO
have won preferment.
vote for Hearst or Hughes as you will,
but on the judicial question don't be sold
ont by the bosses by voting for the boss's
iud ge. who, il elected, means to sell you out.
Applause. 1t is not a question OF a square
deal. There can be no deal where justice
is concerned. Ii any deal with a boss
You'll always find that the boss has all the
diamonds in the pack n you're left alone
to work il out with the spades"
Attorneys Herbert &. Kahn and Louis
Laude spoke in a similar strain. Charles
W. Cohen said he was a radical, a Socialist
and a Hearstite, but although he would
vote for Hearst he was opposed TO politics
