REEVES
HAS COME OUT
Announces His Candidacy for Supe-
riOr Judge.-NO Politics i'm 1t.

The World is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication from Hon.
Frank Reeves, explaining his position
as regards the coming selection by
the people of Cheian County of a new
superior Judge:
Editor Daily World:
Dear Sir-Some two or three
weeks ago articles appeared in the
Republic discussing the probable can
didacy of myself and others for the
Office of Superior Judge of Chelan
County. 1t was there stated that the
republican lawyers had selected a
candidate, and that in all probability
| would be put forward by the DEM
Ocrats. Thus it was made to appear
that the Office of Superior Judge was
still a political one. A subsequent
article, however, in a measure cor
rected this erroneous statement.
Under the direct primary law,
passed by the legislature of 1907,
the Offices of Supreme and Superior
! Judges are taken entirely out If tie
domain of partisan / o ties, and eacn
candidate is required to stand on his
own merits. He is even forbidden to
declare his party affiliations when
filing his declaration of candidacy,
and no candidate for the office of Su-
preme Judge can have his name print
ed on any partisan ticket. The names
of all candidates for these offices
must appear on all primary ballots
under the caption 'Non-Partisan Ju-
dietary Ticket" and the candidate re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
at the primary election becomes the
only candidate where but one Office
is to be filled, and his name is then
to be printed on the general election
ballot, not under the name of any of
the political parties, but under the
head of ''Non-Partisan."
/ From what has been said it is read
lily seen that the legislature intended
that the judiciary should be entirely
divorced from partisanship, and | be-
lieve that the spirit as well as the
letter of the law should be obeyed.
Many members of the bar and 4
host of friends in all political parties
have requested me to become a can
didate. Nest honorable lawyers have
an ambition to go on the bench at
some stage of their career | have
in the light of what is here stated,
concluded to become a non-partisan
candidate for the Office of Judge OF
1 The Superior Court for Chelan County
under the direct primary law of this
state. With me at least, there is not
and shall not be any politics in the
matter. | expect no man to vote for
me simply because | affiliate with the
same political party he does. | ex-
pect no man to vote against me for
| the sole reason that / do not strive
to advance his partisan politics. |
accept the primary law in it's true
spirit of non-partisanship, and stand
on my worth as citizen and merit
as lawyer, whatever they may be. If
these do not commend me to the vot-
er, | do not expect his support. If
elected | shall have no friends to re-
ward nor enemies to punish from the
bench. My sole ambition will be to
make an efficient and righteous Judge

Kicks Against Brown.


Rumor says that about 80 per cent
of one or two of the high school
classes fiunked at the midwinter ex-
aminations. Offended citizens whose
children were among those who failed
are sore at the school; they say that
the system of instruction is faulty,
that papers were not properly mark
ed, etc. The defenders of Superinten-
dent Brown. on the other hand, MAIN
tain that there are a lot of loafers in
the school who devote more time to
knocking the superintendent and
making love 10 the girls in the lower
grades than they do to work; that
Brown has been handicapped by the
influence Riste had on. the pupils
that Riste gave them credits which
they had not earned, and that they
still expect such gratuities.
The contention is made by some
that superintendent Brown discour-
ages subordinate teachers in any ef-
fort at initiative or the promulgation
of new ideas; that they must do
things his way or get out; that that
is why so many good ones have been
fired-because they have had minds
of their own.
In Coburn the people feel that they
have found a man who will not be in
fluenced by the advice of interested
parties; with the cooperation of Gel
latly and Kyle the city will surely
have three men working out the
school problem who ought surely to
get at the bottom of conditions, and
separate rumors from facts. II 1t Is
true, as so persistently affirmed. that
one man in times past has constituted
himself the boss" of not only the
school but the board itself. that fact
will probably be disclosed at an early
date.

4 Remarkable Address.

The address of Rev. Mr.. Mccartney
last evening on Does it Pay to be a
Parent?" is spoken of by those who
heard it as the noblest address on
the purity and strength of American
home life which they had ever lis
tened to. Indeed, so remarkable Was
the address that an effort is already
on foot to get Mr.. Mccartney to re-
turn at an early date and deliver this
address before an audience that
would fill the theatre. Mr.. Mccartney
closes his series of talks Sunday eve
ming. This evening the subject is

At the election to be held Satur-
day, March s, woman may vote and
no registration is required. No can
didate should be supported whose
avowed intention is to vote against
the unemployment of Mr.. Brown IL

fair investigation of the reason for
the many kicks. If Brown is in the
right, keep him. The school needs 4

a Pair Of Poets.

heartily. Browning then said, MAY l
