Agitators Are Blamed.

In the report Of the committee on the
condemnation of the judicial recall, pre-
sented by George E. Hamilton, the law
yers attribute the feeling of discomfort

litical, moral and social. They assert that
the proposition Of recall has been seized
upon by political agitators for personal
profit Should the recall of judges and
the review of judicial decisions by the
people be adopted. the committee sug-
gests. not only Will Justice be imperiled.
but the very existence Of the government
be endangered
The report declares:
The judicial systems, federal and state.
since the organization Of the government,
have been, according to both federal and
state records, remarkably free from the
evils now alleged and seized for the pur-
poses OF criticism. abuse and attack.
