Judge Haney should receive the vote
of every republican in the state at the
June primaries. No reason, no motive
a be assigned for a vote against j Judge
Haney. He has been on the circuit and
supreme bench of the state for nearly a
quarter of a century and has yet to
write an opionion that has not been
based upon the law, he has yet to write
an opinion in the interests of any class.
He has been above everything else an
able judge, seeking to render righteous
decisions without regard to consequent
ces. Endeavoring to know the law, to
interpret it wisely, and to do right. He
has walked in the ways of wisdom and
has executed justice and righteousness
to all the people. A voter who casts
his vote against Judge Haney votes to
lessen the ability and purity of our
supreme court. Pierre Dakotan.

a unanimous one in every state.
"The Republican party is bigger

done is for Mr.. Taft and his managers
now to accept the unanimous verdict
of the Republican primary states and
to withdraw from the contest. Neither
he nor his manager longer a with
stand the nationwide movement that
calls for Roosevelt once again to as
