THE PUBLIC DEMANDS
MORE FAITHFUL SERVICE

EDITOR CENSOR: That was an in
geniously contrived editorial which ap-
peared in the Westby Times two weeks
ago, and copied in the last issue of our
local paper. The writer occupied a
column of space to enlighten the peo-
pie of Vernon that Buffalo county had
retained in their probate office the same
man for many years, or until he died
in Office, and therefore presunes on the
credulity OF our citizens to suggest that
the saue thing should be done here
Possibly there was reason for retaining
the Buffalo county judge He was
doubtless an efficient official, attended
to the work for which he drew salary;
remained faithfully 70 his post of duty
and did not make it necessary for peo-
pie having business in his court to
travel to the county seat three or -four
times on the same errand, subjecting
them to loss of time and needless ex.
pense. Probably the Buffalo county
judge did not make official engagements
and neglect to keep such appointments,
causing widows, orphans and admins
traitors TO make repeated unnecessary
journeys. Probably the Buffalo county
judge did not spend his time lobbying
ABOUT the county DOafI session Iof III
ereases in salary and OTHER costly mat
ters at the expense Of over-taxed peo-
pie.
Dc the voters of Vernon county think
it justice to the public to continue longer
in the most important Office in their
gift one who causes so much extra
expense to estates and those having
charge of their administration? Who
that has had business in probate court
does not know of the annoyance caused
by absenteeism from his office Of d.
%. Mahoney during the twelve years
he has been Judge? Insane patients
and subjects for commitment to diff
ferent institutions have time and again
been held for days because the county
judge was not present to perform his
duties, causing much expense and loss
of time. Is it any wonder that there
is an uprising because of neglects?
Probably the Buffalo county judge was
retained because he was faithful to
duty. W.

A DENIAL

Viroqua, Wis, March 18th, 1909.
To the Public: Since announcing my
self as non-partisan candidate for the
Office of county judge of Vernon county,
the supporters of Judge Mahoney are
claiming that my candidacy is in the in
terest of Mr. Bennett with the especial
intent 10 defeat Judge Mahoney. Like
wise, the supporters of Mr.. Bennett
are claiming that my eandidacv is in
the interest Of Judge Mahoney, with
the especial intent TO defeat ilr. Ben
nett, thus placing me in a false light
before the voters Of Vernon county.
Obviously both Of these claims can
not be true. If either one of them ia
true, which one is it? In fact, neither
of them il true. ! am an independent
candidate for the Office Of coun Judge,
and | was not brought out by ei,her of
the opposing candidates. My friends
assure me that my chances % election
are good ! am after the Office. IL is
as good to noe az it is to Judge Ma
honey or to Mr.. Bennett. | am not
seeking TO defeat either one of them
in particular, but both of them. May

no THE VOTERS or vKRNoN COUNTY:

| hereby announce myself as a nom
partisan candidate for the Office of
County Judge of Vernon county, at the
ensuing spring election.
offer few reasons why should be
elected:
Having had several years of legal
practice. more especially in probate law,
believe that | am sufficiently well
qualified for the office This in itself
should not entitle me to the position,
for | willingly concede that the other
aspirants for the office, Judge ID. o.
Mahoney and j. Henry Bennett, the
present district attorney, are emf
nent!y qualified for the position. Not
withstanding this, | believe that | am
entitled to the Office, by reason of the
fact that unlike the opposing candidates
mentioned, / have never been favored
by the electors Of Vernon county, by
election TO any Office.
On the other hand. believe that the
candiaates above mentioned, should not
be elected, for reasons well advanced by
their own supporters. For instance,
the friends of Mr.. Bennett content that
Judge Mahoney having been almost
continuor Y kept in office by the peo-
pie Of We ,on county, for period Of
about twenty-six years, (nearly twelve
years of which time he served in the
office Of probate judge should now be
willing to step aside and give some one
else an opportunity.
Likewise. the adherents of Judge Ma
honey content that as Mr.. Bennett,
though still a young man, has been four
times elected district attorney, an office
he now holds, having been elected last
fall, therefore, he cannot consistently
claim that Judge Mahoney should be
retired in his favor.
With the above arguments, it seems
that it ought not to be- difficult to agree.
and therefore, if neither of the opposing
candidates should be elected for similar
reasons advanced by both of them, is
it not the logical conclusion that some
other attorney should be elected to the
office?
In announcing my candidacy, do SO
as a non-partisan. believing that all
judges snould be elected as such, and
confident Of my ability properly to exc
cute the important duties of the Office
to which 1 aspire, | respectfully solicit
your vote Respectfully yours,

POSITION OF DEMOCRATIC PRESS
mr. But Cannot be Elected; Why Throw
Away Your Vote?

The Vernon County Leader, the only
democratic newspaper in the county,
realizing that Mr. But can only divide
the anti Mahoney voters among them
selves and to their own disadvantage,
is supporting Mr.. Bennett for county
Judge It was neither fair nor hon0ra-
BILE for Mr.. Butt to become candidate
for judge after having asked Mr.. Ben
nett, in writing to become such candi-
date. The Leader urges all democrats
who desire a change in the county
judges office to vote for Bennett, and
among other things. says;
"If ]. Henry Bennett is elected to
the county judgeship the affairs of that
office will not be neglected because of
outside interests. His f1ithful atten-
tinn to the duties of the district attor-
ney's office pr ives that Mr.. Bennett
has the legal Knowledge to make a first
class county judge and every attorney
in Vernon county who has had to fight
him in state cases knows he is hard
fighter and that there ISN'T a lazy hair
in his head The Judiciary should be
kept out of politics and as Mr.. Bennett
is a non-partisan candidate no democrat
should refuse to vote for him simply
because he is a republican.
And again, from the Leader, we quote
the following:
"We don't want a political Judge.
The Leader has always advocated a
non-partisan judiciary and in supporting
j. Henry Bennett it is entirely consist
ent 1t took q stand for Mr. Bennett
because it believed he would make a
first class county judge and we have
not changed our mind If, after the
belated announcement of Mr.. BUTTS
candidacy, the Leader abandoned its
first choice on the ground that Mr..
Butt personally is a democrat, the pa
per could but appear ridiculous and in
consistent wit h its past record in favor
Of nOn-partisan iudicie ". !"

Dated January e5, 1909

The foregoing call on the part of the
attorneys of the county is entitled to edi-
torial comment at this time When you
hire man TO work for you on the farm
or in the store you hire the best man
you can get for the money. The News
suggests that you apply this business
proposition to the judicial election In
this matter we have no interest different
from yours. Our interests are alike.
We all desire the best man. At least
we ought to. While you and /, dear
reader, seldom have business before the
county court, the lawyers of the county
have business there frequently. Be
cause of the fact that the lawyers are
so often before the court in a business
way they ought to know something Of
the ''inside" and certainly know what
the demands of the office are. They
ought to be good judges of the fitness
of candidates. Were you to die tomor-
row, your widow or children would like
y consult the county judge with refer
ence to your estate, or some one of the
attorneys above named who have asked
MIR. Bennett to become candidate. If
you went to the Judge yourself you
would desire capable man. Should
you appear by attorney your attorney
would desire judge before whom he
could present your matter intelligently.
When all the practicing attorneys of
the county join in request and unani-
mously ask Mr.. Bennett to become a
candidate, it means something. They
desired new man then and are of the
same opinion now. We know Mr.. Ben
nett to be a lawyer of ability. His
brother attorneys recognize the fact in
| asking HIM to become candidate.
Just as farmer knows whethera hired
man is a good hand or not, so the law
yers know whether lawyer is fit for
the position of judge or not. This Is
plain, Why MIR. Butt, after having
urged Mr.. Bennett in writing to be-
come a candidate, and after having
signed his nomination papers the first
man in the county to do so--should now
change front we do not know The
people of the county desire a change.
If they unite upon Mr.. Bennett they
will elect him. We urge the duty upon
all TO attend the election, Tuesday, APP
ril 9Th. and vote for John Henry Ben
nett for county judge. He is man
whose promptness, attentiveDess to Of
| iclal duties and ability are not only
NOW CONCEDED but NEVER HAVE BEEN
! QUESTIONED. Come, let US have the
affairs of the office checked up by
new man. Attend the election and vote
for Bennett. Coon Valley News.
