Ovation for RoIapp and Richards.

The delegates showed their approval OF
the remarks of the speaker by vigorously
applauding each statement made and
when Judge Rolapp concluded he was ten
dered a splendid ovation.
When the committee appointed for the
purpose escorted Mr.. Richards into the
hall he also was rendered an ovation that
lasted many minutes. Frequent OutburstS
of applause interrupted his utterances in

which l do shrink. The position for

wherein favoritism can be shown. No
matter how close the alliance witt

matter what may be the party affili-

here for the purpose of equal and eX

which practically ostraciseS the occupant

JUDGE ROLAPP
BL|STERS HOWELL
Says Second District Judge
ship Was Wrested From
People by Corruption.
RICHARDS is NOMINATED
GIDEON is NAMED
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Delegates from Morgan. Davis and We
Der counties met in judicial convention in
the county building yesterday and Sc
lected as their candidates for the Second
judicial district c. C. Richards for judge
and Valentine Gideon for district attor-
ney. There was much enthusiasm and
both were named by reclamation
The feature of the convention was the
address delivered by Judge " H RoIapp
who four years ago was defeated for the
bench by the present incumbent, and the
acceptance speech Of Mr.. Richards. There
were a number of Republicans in the hall
and s&ese joined the delegates in applaud
ing the remarks of both men.
Judge Rolapp placed Mr. Richards in
nomination with the following address:
Judge RoIapp's Speech.
Il rise to nominate for the high and i'm
portant oIfice of judge of the Second jul
diCial district the Hon. Charles c. Rich
ards. This gentleman needs no eulogy
from me He is known to every one of
YOU because he was born and reared in
this community, has resided here con-
stantly and has. in fact, become a grand
father while living in your midst. Every
one knows him to be the personifica ton
of integrity, of honor and of conscientious
ness. His long and varied experience in
the practice of law, and his recognized
good common sense and judgment will of
course, make him an ideal Judge on the
bench All of these facts are we'll known
to you.
But in view of the past experience. and
of what was said at the time our Repub-
lican friends nominated their candidate
for this same office, | feel in duty bound
to say to you at this time, and before Mr..
Richards becomes your candidate, that
II you gentlemen or the people of this dis
trict desire to name politician for the
bench. you had better not nominate my
candidate, because, while he is a Demo-
icrat, and has always been an ardent ad-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-10-01
Who Is Meant by This?

Another warning: If you elect Nj.
Richards to this office you must not ex-
pect him to serve his party by holding
submitted cases under ad yiSement for a
year or a year and half, simply because
his decision might affect the political sit
uation of his own or anybody elSe'S party,
or might endanger the chances for cleo
ton or reelection of himself or any other
individual. Neither must you expect,
either during the campaign or after he is
on the bench, that Mr.. Richards will enter
the pulpits of churches to which he does
not belong. and there attempt to advance
his own or his party's interests by hypo-
critically appearing to be other than what
charge personal or party obligations by
permitting his employees for single services
to secure double pay from the public
treasury. You must not expect him to
discuss secretly your pending cases with
yourself or any other person, tell you
in advance what the law is in any con-
troversy arising in this district You must
not expect him to be the organizer or
leader of any political club. party or ma
chine, nor must you expect him to con-
descend to be an instructor of ward heel
ers or dominate primary politics. In short,
if elected. he will not be politician. but
only an able dignified, conscientious and
impartial judge.
Another thing, before you nominate
Mr.. Richards: l would like TO have you
pledge yourselves that you will use your
utmost endeavors to prevent a single
Mr.. Richards would ten thousand times
rather be defeated for election than to

he is elevated TO the bench, he will there
know neither Democrats nor Republicans,
neither rich nor poor. neither corpora
