There is little need to say anything
about the public record of the Dem
ocratic candidate for Supreme Justice,
George f. Talbot, who. like the late
Judge Hawley, spent practically his
whole life IN the district and supreme
bench.
Justice Talbot was elected in Elko
county to the bench of that district
where he served for many years. His
elevation to the supreme bench came
when Il man of calm iudgcmedt was
needed, and he has fully merited the
confidence reposed in him.
In all cases wherein he has been
called upon to write an opinion, that
opinion has been regarded by iurists
rs the law on the subject treated.
In this he follows III the steps of the
late Judge Hawlcy and lawyers and
those cOnversant with affairs of the
courts of the State unite in saying
that Justice Talbot is II Judge with.
out fear. bias or reproach. and that
his decisions, especially where they
affect the peace of law abiding citizens
are em%inently fair and recite the law,
In criminal matters he has decided
during his occupancy of the bench,
he has always tempered justice with
mercy.
According to law, when reelected
he will he the junior Justice, to again
occupy the seat of Presiding Justice
four years hence, following the term
of Justice Sweeney. The State will
thus have two Democratic presiding
Justices in consecutive order. Justice
Talbot. while on the Democratic ticket,
is Il man who takes little active
participation in partisan politics and
goes before the whole people of Ne,
yada relying upon his record as q District
and Supreme Justice for Endorsement.
