Reeves more may be said elsewhere.
His Counsel Sought by Lawyers.
In commenting upon the record of
Mr.. Grimshay while practicing in
Chelan county this paper has said:
ut is not always the most success
full or skillful trial lawyer who makes
the best Judge. On the other hand,
| it is very often true that the lawyers
who are the most partisan in their
interests and passionate in their SYM
pathetic appeals for clients are un
satisfactory judges. While Mr.. Grim
, shaw has not been conspicuous at
the bar in jury trials, he has for
several years now been counted by
the members of the Chelan county
bar themselves as one of the safest
and ablest lawyers in the county, ana
it is a fact that his counsel and adj
vice in matters under litigation have
frequtnly been sought and always
relied upon. He is what is known as
a lawyers lawyer. There are other
lawyers in the county who are more
interesting but no more effective jury
speakers, who are more clever in trial
practice, but none more capable of
I unimpassioned, fair and impartial de-
liberation of cases submitted, and
last, but not least, none more up
right and honorable and conscien-
tious than Mr.. Grimshaw.
Mr.. Grimshaw is still young
man, but that is rather to his credit
than otherwise, in a country and age
where all men are young until
their life's work is done. However,
Mr. Grimshaw is an older looking
man that his years would suggest.
Hard work, study and experience in
the world have seasoned him as a
man of middle age. In early youth,
because of the death of his father,
he assumed the burden of the man
agement of his family's property in
terests, as well as the active manage
ment of the farm. And between his
duties at home and his preparation
for the law Mr.. Grimshaw found time
to serve his country in time of need.
At the outbreak of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war he was enlisted in the Fifth
regiment Illinois, having served sew
eral years prior to the enlistment as
member of the state militia of Hi
noise, and at the close of the war re-
ceived an honorable discharge"
While Mr.. Grimshaw is staunch
republican and has in years gone by
been as active in behalf of the repub-
lican party as his opponent, Mr..
Reeves, has been on the democratic
side OF the fence, Mr.. Grimshaw has
announced himself as a strictly non
partisan candidate for the judgeship,
as all candidates for judge through
out the state must do under the new
direct primary law.
Independent of Cliques.
In coming out frankly and can
didly as a non-partisan candidate as
he has done, with no attempt to toady
to the republican voters with whom
he has worked shoulder to shoulder
in the ranks during the past few
years, Mr.. Grimshaw has acted with
his usual characteristic honesty and
conscienciousness Mr.. Reeves has
been an active democrat and Mr..
Grimshaw an active republican, and
it Is no secret that the former has
everything to gain by taking advan-
tage of the present opportunity, OF
sailing under nOn-partisan cOlors in
a county strongly republican.
Mr.. Grimshaw is q man as indie
pendent of cliques as could be found.
He is the sort of man who has no ene-
mics to punish, no colleagues to re-
ward.
We are confident that when the
people of this stur iy county
shall have met and considered both
candidates for the high and honor
able Office their votes will be cast for
one whose splendid training, fine
poise, dignity AMI character fit him
over all others for the honor.
