Republican Candidate Addresses Letter of Withdrawal
G. 0. P. Committee and They in Turn Adopt Res

Judiciary Free From Politics.

From Mondays Daily.
Attorney Thomas Hughs of this city
republican nominee for Judge in this
the sixth judicial district, has with
drawn his name from the ticket, and
on Saturday addressed letter to the
republican county committees of Blue
Earth and Watonwan counties giving his
reasons for withdrawing. This leaves
clear field for the present incumbent
Judge A. r. Pau, who was appointed
several months ago by Governor John
A. johnson to succeed Judge Lorin
Cray, who resigned to take his po-
sition in the National Citizens bank as
president.
Judge Pau, the present incumbent,
is perhaps the oldest practitioner in the
sixth district, and his many friends
will be pleased to know that he will
have no opposition for the place.
Thos. Hughes position in the mat
ter is commendable, in that he desires
to keep the high office of iudgeship
out of politics and aloof from political
influences and entanglements as the
district is strongly republican, Mr..

Hughes Letter,
Mankato, Minnesota, October s, 1908
To the republican committees of
Blue Earth and Watonwan counties
Gentlemen: l greatly appreciate a high
honor conferred upon me by the re-
publicans of the Sixth Judicial district
in making me their nominee for Judge
and am truly grateful for the cordial
and loyal support my candidacy has re
ceived. 1t has been, however, the time
honored custom of this district as
we'll as that of most of the other
judicial districts of the state, to keep
the office out of politics as much as
possible, that the fairness and impair
TALLY of the bench might not be in
fuenced by any political bias, obliga-
ton, in favor of any kind. In refer
ence to this laudable sentiment, which
has become almost the unwritten law
of our judicial election. I deem it
proper to suggest to your committees
that I be permitted to withdraw my
name as the nominee of the republi-
can party for the office of Judge of
the Sixth Judicial district. AS is well
known my filing for the office was
friends in percipitating a political con-
test for the position at the recent pri-
maries. Not that | criticise the action
of anyone in the matter, for the office
is worthy the aspiration of any lawyer,
and under our law any attorney has
the right to seek it. Then we should
never forget that the selection of
their Judge belongs to the people,
and that the appointment made by a
governor is not necessarily binding on
the conscience of any one; yet in the
present case the appointment so re-
Gently made of my esteemed opponent,
Hon. A. R. Pau, coupled with the
fact that he is now one of the oldest
attorneys of the district, does, every
thing else being equal, give him the
precedence, winch Is worthy VI coHSiu-
Grafton. My desire to withdraw is
solely due to the sentiment that the
office should be kept out of politics
and to no other motive what
ever. l do wish, however, to disregard
the will of the committees in this
matter and if you deem it my duty to
| remain on the ticket l certainly will
do so and make the best fight possible
for the election, which we are conf
dent of winning. But my own judgment
| is that it would be better, under the
circumstances, to avoid, if possible, any
! political fight for the office of Judge
But whatever may be your decision
regarding this matter, rest assured
