WOULD MAKE
GOOD JUDGES
Richland County Attorneys En-
dorse Three Candidates for
the Supreme Court Bench

During the past weeks we
have had something to say
about the Importance of of the
election of judges of the Su
preme Court and the duty of
voters to post themselves as to
the qualifications of the differ
candidates We have said that
the only intelligent method to
be followed by the people in
arriving at a decision as 20 who
should be supported is to take
the judgment Of the la wyers Of
the couutry.
The people of this county are
especially fortunate in the fact
that the lawyers Of the county
are recognized as among those
best qualified to say who is,
and who is not fitted to be
judge of the Supreme Court.
They do a larger amount of
business in that court than the
same number of lawyers in any
other part of the state and their
acquaintance is wide among all
the lawyers and judges. Their
business is so large and of such
genera! character that they are
not interested in any special
line of litigation, but they are
in all kinds of cases aud on all
sides of such cases.
The following lawers have
endorsed the candidacy offs e
Ellsworth, Charles ]. Fisk and
Charles Cooley, and join in
movement intended to bring
about their election.

Lowry, Charles Tuttle, H. G.
Korsvick, Folsom Dow.
With this endorsement, with.
out regard to political parties,
the candidates named ought to
receive every vote in Richland
County.
Some people n a We under
stood that the candidate for
judge, E T. Burk, is Governor,
Burke. This is a mistake, he
is a different Burk,

COL. sCHULERs CANDIDACY

Urged by his party and by
many independent voters Col.
Gustav Schuler has entered
actually into the political field
fer States Attorney-hin,self
a heavy taxpayer he fully ap-
preciates the fact, that the
office of States Attorney should
not be conducted for private
business gains or for personal
popularity, but that the office
should be conducted in q
straight, forward and thorough
manner and yet with as little
burden to the taxpaye as cir
cumstances will admit. From
the tenor of the people the
Times bespeakes victory for
him at the poles in November.
His former administration of
the office is proof of the fact
that if successful the voters of
Richland County will have no
cause for complaint.
