and Lofty Tumbling from
a Political Viewpoint.

and lofty tumbling from political
view point What about his court in
politics?
On September &, 1912, two petitions
were filed in Arapahoc County, both
bearing the name Progressive, one
of them contained the names of the
stand-pat Republican county ticket
and was filed at midnight in the of
fee of the Republican county attor-
ney. The other bore the names of
the real Progressives of Arapahoe
County and was filed when the county
clerks Office opened at $40 u. m,
The county clerk accepted tho former
and refused the latter. 4 suit was
started before Mccall by the real Pro
gressives, seeking to oust the stand
pat Republicans of the ticket. The
hearing was had on September 26,
and Mccall took the case under ad-
visement.
In the mean time McCall's friends
got very busy, using all manner of
pleadings and threats, to have Mccall
placed on the Progressive judicial
ticket instead of McGinuc. McGmtie
and Mccall had both rendered tickets
TO the Secretary OF state on Soptcm-
Der 9Th, and McGmie's petition was
accepted and McCalrs rejected, the
Secretary stating that McGnue ap-
peared to have the better title, and,
besides that, he was there first at the
opening Of business
Mccall withheld his decision until
october 10, it being generally under
stood that he had fair chance Of
getting on the Progressive ticket III
McGintie's place In this opinion,
after making speech from the bench
| on the high duty Of the judiciary,
Mccall sustained the real Progressive
county ticket, giving as his reason

ale on its behalf
