Lancaster, Wis, March IL, 1906
To E. M. Lowry, w. A. johnson,
John J. Blaine, George S. Martin,
Frank w. Hall, and all the others:
I am informed that many more of
you, my fellow citizens Of the state
Of Wisconsin, than the number re-
quired by law, have signed nomin-
alton papers to make me a nOn-par
tisan candidate for the new Associ-
ate Justice Of the Supreme Court, to
be voted for April Sd next, by all
The voters of the state.
I highly appreciate and most sin
cerely thank you for this expression
of your confidence. I have received
many approvals of such nomination,
both written and verbal, from many
parts of the state. These expires
sions coming as they do, mostly from
those who know me best, are very
gratifying to me.
Courts are created to ascertain the
truth, and do justice between part
les litigant Law is, or ought to be,
justice. By so administering the
law, the courts will carry out the
great objects of their creation, and
subserve the best good of all people.
Under the constitution of Wiscon-
sin, our judges must be elected by
no Tn 10n N4 1Oc CT
sort are lodged great powers. The
decisions of the Supreme Court are
likest to Gods in the last day. From
them there is seldom any appeal.
Only their decisions involving fed
eral question can be reviewed by any
earthly tribunal. The final test Of
all laws passed by the Legislature
and Of all acts of the chief executive,
is in and by the Supreme Court.
Only one judge of that court can be
elected in any one year. Who shall
compose that court is for the people
to decide at seven elections recur
ring throughout a period of ten
years. Upon that bench is no prop
or room for ambitions ends, rewards
or pulishmentS, except through the
doing of justice without fear or favor.
It has been the rule and business
of my life to make right that which
was wrong, and then to keep things
right. 1t is the duty of every man
to do what he can towards making
the condition of his fellowmen better
for his having lived in this world
The, to me, unexpected movement
out Of which has come my nomin-
alton by you, may have in it some
thing Of Higher Hand than yours

Men of ability, of standing, of

hesitate to put their own money in
to a deal, and when others join
with them and the success hoped
for is not attained, then the investor
should charge the loss to an error
in Judgment and not to wild mis-
representation. When there is one
dishonest promoter or promotion
concern in a district there are a
dozen honest ones. The small in

investigate the standing of the per-
