THE SUPREME N

The supreme bench of South Dakota
as now constituted is composed of five
OF the most able jurists to be found
anywhere and each and every one of
them men of long experience upon the
circuit and supreme bench. We are
asked to replace two of the most able
member, Judges Corson and Haney,
the two judges with the longest
experience on the supreme bench, with
Two men with no judicial experience
whatever and who have even shown
u little success in the profession of
law. Neither Mr.. Policy, who seeks
Judge Dighton Corson's place nor
Howard Gates, now asking preference
over Judge Dick Haney, has ever been
recognized as even among the leading
lawyers of the state. Mr.. Policy was
eve heard of until he ran for the
office of secretary Of state, in which
position be is serving his second term.
and during those four years has given
no time nor attention to law and prob
ably has forgotten much of what little
ne did know. 1t is a safe bet he was
not very successful in his practice or
ne would not have been compelled to
seek an Office outside his chosen pro
fession. Howard Gates was never
heard of outside Of Sioux Falls-save as
the husband of Edna Carter, the sweet
singer-until he announced himself as
q candidate against Judge Haney. On
Tuesday next South Dakotans will say
to every member of the present sup
court I'VE recognize your ability,
you have been able judges faithful to
your trust and the people are safe in
your hands continue your labors." To
assist in this the voter should place a
cross before the names Corson, Haney
and Whiting. The last Judge has no
opposition.

RENE court compelled to disgorge the
money he had fraudently collected
from the imbecile and his license to
practice law revoked. But we tell
them all it is just an attack of Eganitis
and that Louie will be all right after
the clouds have rolled away on June A
and the voters have passed judgment.
Of course don't expect to see Louie
the first day-he will have business in
Dubuque for a couple of weeks after
the returns come in. He also needs
some rest for his right arm as he has
been working it over time signing the
letters written by Egan to the voters
in this county. Oh, yes, of course,
Louie is supposed to have written
them.

"Can the Ethiopian change his skin,
or the leopard his spots?" We should say
not. No more could John Sutherland,
manager of the Observation-Disclosures
headquarters in Pierre, be honest in
politics. He has flooded the state with
a sample ballot purporting to come from
the committee and to express the wishes
of the progressive republicans. 1t is an
old trick of John to do something tricky
and dirty just so late that there was
no time to head it off and kill the effects
OF it. He got in a rush this time. Mr..
Byrne's campaign manager, Mr.. T. S.
Everett, Redfeld, denounces Mr.. Suth-
erIand and wishes his friends to be
appraised that he is in no combination
and that Mr.. Sutherland in no way has
been chosen to select a list of candi-
dates for him. The voter should not be
misled by any matter received from or
through John Sutherland. Those who
know him will not be and to those who
do not, if they are friends of Mr.. Byrne,
the opinion of his campaign manager
should be sufficient.

CONGRESSIONAL Candidates

The republicans of this Second con

primaries next Tuesday to make /,
choice between the present incumbenr
Hon. Charles II. Burke, of Pierre; Ira
0. Curtiss, Of Aberdeen, and Wilbur
5. Glass, of WATERFOWL; to represen
them as their candidate at the election
IN November. MI. Burke has been one
of two representatives who have repre-.
sented South Dakota as a whole fol
several terms in Washington and dur.
ing all those years he has been looked
upon as a most t~ireless worker; as q
man easily approached by any of his
constituents regardless of party or frac-
tional affiliations; as a member who
nev turned a deaf ear to any worthy
u or request; as being successful in
working those requests through con-
gress or the departments; as a man who
was alive ali the time and who recog-
nized the fact that he was sent there
as the representative of South Dakota
and that his mission in the national
capit.l was to secure legislation and
appropriations wanted by South Dako-
tans. In all or these things he has been
very successful. Looking around over
the state We notice the Indian reserva-
tons which have been thrown open for
settlement, which were formerly occu-
pied by wards of Uncle Sam and paid
no reyenue into the state treasury in
the way of taxes, that are now in the
hands Of homesteaders. many of whom
have proved up and are now subject to
taxation and it will be but a few short
months until all are so doing. He has
been instrumental in securing the Ma
tional Soldiers Home for South Dakota.
He has been n of the main forces to
procure from the national department
of agriculture large appropriations for
experimental farming in this state, and
for the putting in of irrigated farms
and the large irrigation projects now
operated by the government in South
Dakota One Of the greatest efforts
put forth by Mr.. Burke In Washington

1897 South Dakota has progressed by
leaps and bounds. Sioux City Journal.

Do you want as governor Of this
state such a man as Egan? Remember
the governor appoints the regents of
education and they have charge of the
schools and colleges and the normals and
the university of South Dakota where
your girls and boys will go to school.
Do you want a mar who was twice tried
for rape. nce for contempt of court
and against whom disbarment proceed
ings were started in Iowa, and who was
disbarred in South Dakota, clothed with
the authority OF appointing the regents
who will govern the educational institu-
tons. We know you do not. If you do
your duty as a citizen and republican
you will go to the polls next Tuesday
in the primaries and cast your ballot
for a good clean man of thirty-two
years residence and a spotless reputa-
ton in South Dakota, Frank M. Byrne.

Candidate For Judge of the
Supreme Court From the
First District


The Dead wood Pioneer Times, Pub
Iished at Dead wood. Judge Corson's
Corso Candidacy for Judge
ia of Sunday, May
The Deadwood eer Times, pub
lished at Deadwoo- Judge Corson's
home city, in discussing Judge Corson's
for judge in its issue of May 4, 1912,
says:
He was the presiding judge of the
state supreme court at the time of its
organization and his decisions appear
in every volume of the supreme court
reports, beginning with No. and con
tinuing through to No &c.
The court consisted of three judge
up to Agril /, 1903. Since then it has
been composed of five judges. 528 deci-
sions have been handed down. OF this
number 100, slightly more than one
fifth of the total, were written by
Judge corson. The reports of the court
also show that while the court con
sisted of three judges only, the deci.
sions written by Judge Corson were
more than one-third of the total num-
Der rendered.
"The quality of Judge Corson's
work is of the same high standard as
is its quantity. His opinions COM
mand the respect not only of the bar
of the state but of the courts of sister
states. They are on a par with the
best courts of any state east or west.
They have been a most potent factor
in giving the dignity and high standing
to our supreme judicial tribunal which
it enjoys throughout the west. They
are clear, logical and direct. The
difficulties of a case are not lodged OF
evaded, but are squarely met and as
squarely determined.
SIN addition to all this, the judges
mind is virile, his department dignified,
his manner unfailingly courteous.
"What more could be asked in a
judge in the highest court in the land?''
The sentiment on the other side OF
the state is well illustrated by the
following excerpt taken from the
Clark County Courier in an article dis
cussing the candidacy of judges al
some length:
"Who would for a moment consider
the advisiabihty of exchanging Judge
Corson. the nestor of the bar of this
state, for a man without experience or
the bench? Judge Corson has served
upon the supreme bench since the
state was organized, and with such
eminent legal ability and judicial fair
ness that not only the members Of the
bar but the people of the state in gen.
eral have approved and endorsed his
opinions and decisions. During these
years he has served the people of the
state with an industry and integrity of
purpose rarely equalled and never
excelled. We have yet to meet a
member of the bar or a well informed
citizen who questions Judge Corson's
success at the primaries and election
