Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1912-08-28
To THE VOTERS OF VERNON


There appeared IN the Vernon
County Censor last week what
would appear to every intelligent
man a demonstration of the use
of the most unfair tactics
which any candidate could use to
further his candidacy. | am ex-
tremely sorry that my opponent
resorted to the use of measures
to which he has resorted, for it
has always beer nv intention to
conduct a clean, honest cam
paign. q campaign that should
be devoid Of all personalities. Mr..
Hammer says that | have made
unwarranted attacks on him and
as to this | shall say that there
is not man in Vernon county
with whom / have talked who
will verify that statement, for /
have always tried to be absolute
ly fair and just to my opponent.
Mr.. Hammer says that if |
should be elected to the Office |
am ineligible to take the office
by virtue of the fact that ! was
not regularly admitted to prac-
tice law in this state.
Gentlemen, any attorney duly
admitted to practice in the Cir
cult court of West Virginia or of
this state either may upon pre-
sentation of certificate showing
such admission, and upon motion
of an attorney of record, and
taking the prescribed oath, be
admitted to practice before the
supreme court, and this state
ment is verified by the telegram
from the Clerk of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of West Virgil
MIA to Mr.. Hammer. This in it.
self convicts Mr.. Hammer.
Therefore, a court of Equity will
find that even though | was not
actually sworn in before the Su-
preme Court of Appeals, | would
come within that statute pertain
ing to the admission of attorneys
to practice in this state.
Ny credentials were submitted
to Judge Higbee of La Crosse, |
who examined them and found
them in all respects sufficient and
| was duly admitted to the bar
of that court on the 7th day of
June, 1910, as will more fully
and at large appear from a copy
of the license granted me at the
time; also a certified copy of the
records of that county, as fol-
lows:
