JUDGE BLAND.

Judge Charles c. Bland, Pre-
siding Judge of the st. Louis
Court OF Appeals, is canvasslng
Southeast Missouri, and spent a
few days in this county during the
early part OF the week. Judge
Bland is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination to succeed him
self as one of the three judges of
this court.
Lawyers tell us that fully ninety
per cent of the litigation that vital.
" concerns the common people, if
appealed from the Circuit Court,
goes to the Court Of Appeals
Among those who are in position
TO know, Judge Bland is regarded
as an absolutely honest man, an
able and painstaking judge, and
lawyer of ability; Judge OF
varied and extensive experience,
and most energetic and hard =
working Judge, having during his
present term rs Presiding Judge of
this Court, prepared and written
] sol opinions out Of a total of
3,945 cases, which is 263 opinions
more than one-third of all the
cases determined.
Furthermore it is known among
lawyers that the reason for this
Court being behind with its work
is the fact that young and mex
perienced lawyer was elected at
the last election.
Without desiring to reflect in
the least upon either of the two
opponents Of Judge Bland, it is
known that neither of them has
had much experience in important
litigation in the courts of their
home city, St. Louis; neither of
their names appear in the reports
of the Supreme Court or either OF

John " Kern of Indiana, Mr..
Bryan 5 running mate, the Demo-

is not so widely known, but he is II
man whom the Democrats OF his
native State have delighted to hon.

leader. Twice have they noml
mated him as the head Of their
State ticket. and shown their con
fidrnce in him in many ways.
Bright in rcparter, profound III
law, an orator supreme in State |
of orators and authors and where

His ability was recognized outside
his State as far back as 1893,
when he was called to the assist
ance of the Attorney General of
the United States to act as special
counsel in the prosecution of i'm

there is no more popular man in
