| MOL, tor the remainder OF the
term, and in November, 1908, he
was elected. At the close of his
present term he will have served
only third of full term.
At the last session of the state
legislature in pursuance of belief
that a third circuit judge was
needed to properly dispose of the
cases in the Jasper county circuit
court, bill was introduced to pro-
vide third circuit judge for this
county Soon afterWard Judge
Bright and Blair adopted new rules
of circuit court procedure in regard
to setting cases and expediting
court business and the result is
the judges are not behind with
their dockets, litigants and the
county saves money and THERE
is NOW NO DEMAND FOR Al
THIRD CIRCUIT JUDGE
He stands for the strict enforce
ment of the law and in his candi-
dacy neither seeks nor solicits the
support of any violator of the law.
Since 1S45 there has been a law
in Missouri making it a felony to
keep a gambling device, yet be-
fore all the other circuit judges OF
Jasper county only one person has
ever been convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary for keeping
gambling device in this county,
Before Judge Bright four men have
been convicted for keeping gam
bling devices in Jasper county and
each sentenced to the penitentiary
tor two years,
On account of his experience on
the bench Judge Bright is letter
qualified for circuit judge than any
one who has not had any judicial
experience. The Democratic can
didate for circuit Judge this year
will be an exjudge who is accorded
the nomination without opposition
The Republicans therefore can
make no mistake by nominating
as his opponent a man who has
also had experience as circuit judge.
There have been three judges of
division No. I. during the present
six year term and since Judge
Bright is giving satisfaction, why
change? Can a single reason be adj
vanced why he should not be re-
nominated? What assurance is
there that if another be chosen hi
would make as good judge as
Judge Bright has proved to be?
Not only knowledge of the law
but a judicious mind, incorruptibl'
integrity and absolute fearlessnes
are qualities of a successful judge
all of which Judge Bright possesse
in high degree.
