REELECTION FOR JUDGE HAIGHT.

campaigns of leading movements Tor party

Court of Appeals. in 1904 il called upon he
publicans to name a Democrat for chief judge
and the result was the practically UNANIMOUS
election of Edgar NJ. Cullen as the head OF the
court and William E. Werner as associate judge.
In 1907 Ii secured Republican support for VII
lard Bartlett, a Democrat, to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement Of Denis OBrlen, ana
led to his nomination by both parties, together
with that of Edward T. Bartlett, a Republican,
10 succeed himself 1t is with great pleasure,
therefore. that welcome the suggestion from
Democratic source that both parties TINS year
should unite in the support Of Republican
iudge of distinguished service to succeed hlm-
self.
The term of Albert Haight, of Buffalo, as an
associate Judge of the Court of Appeals will ex-
pire this year and as The Brooklyn Eagle says,
his judicial record makes it desirable that both
parties should Join to continue him in service.
Judge Haight has been continuously on the
bench since 1873, having been elected County
Judge of Erie County in November, 1872. -Four
wears later he became a justice of the supreme
Court and in 1884 he was designated by Gov
ernor Cleveland to the General Term, 4th De-
partment From 1889 TO the disbandment OF
the tribunal he was member of the "a DIV
sion of the Court or Appeals DS ueSlSh"tioh VI
Governor Hill. He was reelected TO the supreme
Court at the expiration of his first term on the
nomination of both the Democratic and RepuD-
lican parties. AS the expiration OF MS ser
vice in the I'd Division of the Court of Appeals
he was again appointed to the General Term by
Governor Flower, and in 1894 he was elected to
the Court of Appeals. After these thirty-slx
years of continuous service in the courts, max
ing him the senior judge in the state his retire
ment would be loss TO the people which should
not be permitted through any exfgencleS Oh
party politics.
Precedents for the uncontested election OF
Judge Haight are ample In 1890 the Repub-
Hcans cordially united with the Democrats IN
the reelection Of Robert Earl, Democrat, and
in 1892 both parties Joined in reelectlng
Charles Andrews. a Republican, Chief Judge
In 1893 Denis O'Brien, Democrat was re-
elected by similar union. Every consideration
of sound public policy urges the continuation
of these precedents The Republican party, IN
supporting Chief Judge Cullen and Judge VIII
lard BARTLETT neither of whom had before been
elected TO the Court of Appeals. even went be-
vond these precedents, and if the policy of TAX
ing the judiciary out of politics could be car
ried so far by the Republicans. certainly there
should be no obstacle found by the Democrats
in helping to continue Judge Haight in the
Court of Appeals for the four additional years
which he could consttutionally serve.
