The San Francisco call., 1908-10-03

-
then2 whis' attempt 20 shove the re-
spoasibility for the action OF the asso-
citation of upon the generals member
ship is wrong. The resolution upon
which this body has met did not con-
template secrecy. such an action would
be totally abhorrent TO the true policy
fof the bar association. A postal card
vote would open the door 70 endless
19g rolling and scheming- I am in
favor OF Frank Il Dunno first, last and
al The time, bat I hope you viii vote
this -down."
AFRAID or CANXAssERS
Timothy i. Lyons replied hotly. de
claring that none OF The men proposed
was. Objectionable 10 him. Charles F.
Hanlon replied 10 Lyons, saying that
8. postal ballot would permit ali the
members 10 he importuned by canvass
ers sc1t cut by Interested public
service corporations. j. J: Dwyer said
. that the active members who would
come TO d meeting shonld have the de-
;. cioing voice in ali affairs OF the organ
. Izatloa-
p Francis J. Heney then took the floor
IN discussion of the measure. He de-
clared that as lawyers his auditors We're
. aH. Interested directly in the purity Of
D.. the -bench,
This meeting is important 10 U.s." he
SAID, = u the public expects US to name
q. the men. we think most At for the bench.
: But that IS not the most important
1hing about this meeting. We should
realize: that II IS important that we
slOCld manufacture the right kind Of
'-pab3tc ;opinion among lawyers" Heney
5lfgec az open ballot
y am ready 10 cast my ballot in the
" 3pens' he declared, and so are many
think we ought TO vote every one OF US
to.'our names as they are called, so that
the public may know who IS favOring
and who is disappearing OF the caadi-
: oates we ind0rse. If we do not do this
I 90 not think the public viii have
!. much use for what we say about the
candidates, for the public is suspicious,
and rightly so, of the public service
corporations, whom We all know have
= deep interest in who goes on the SD
perior bench.
! tell you that il the bar association
does this, YOU gentlemen here who
have no powerful corporation hackers
may 80 into court and have an equal
chance with the man who has a big
corporation behind him. II you do not
III you ballot In secret-yOu will not"
j. s. Reid said thar he gave his sym
pathy to the views Of Heney, but for
himself thought that If he should give
an expression 10 his views candidly his
clients would suffer in the courts of
those judges ne might oppose.
