CORsON
Candidate For Judge OF the
Supreme Court From the
First District
The Deadwood Pioneer Times. run
Iished at Deadwood, Judge Corsons
Home City, in Discussing Judge
Corson's Candidacy for Judge
in it's Issue of Sunday, May
IL. 1912, Says:

He was the presiding judge OF the
state supreme court at the time Oh It's
organization, and his decisions appear
in every volume of the supreme court
reports, beginning with No. and con-
tinulng through to No. ~.
.'Yhe court consisted of three judges
up to April l, 1903. Since then 1t has
been composed of five members. Since
the court was increased to five Judges
528 decisions 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
state also show that while the court
consisted of three judges only, the
decisions written by Judge Corson We're
more thar one-third of the total num-
Der rendered.
"rne quality of Judge Corson's work
is of the same high standard as is its
quantity. HIS opinions command 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 sup
RENE judicial tribunal which it enjoys
throughout the west. They are clear,
logical and direct. The difficulties of a
case are mol lodged or evaded, but are
.squarely met and as squarely deter
mined.
I'm addition to all this, the judges
mind is virile, his department dignified,
his manner unfailingly courteous.
"What more could be asked of q
judge of the highest court in the land?''
The sentiment on the other side OF
the state is well illustrated ny the
following excerpt taken from the Clark
Coun y Courier in an article discussing
the candidacy of judges at some length
who would for a moment consider
the advisiability of exchanging Judge
Corson, the nestor of the bar of the
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 fairness thai
not only the members of the bar blu,
the people of the state in general have
approved and endorsed his opinions ano
decisions. During these years he has
sevred the people Of the state with ar
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 wht
questions Judge Corson's success at the
primaries and election"

In. WAGON Wheel Paradox.

A very interesting paradox Is the one
concerning an ordinary wagon wheel,
which is solid and rigid, yet. when fas-
tened on its axle On a wagon, when the
wagon moves part Of the circumfer-
ence Of the wheel which is In contact
with the ground Is for an instant at
absolute rest. while the point directly
perpendicular to It is flying along at a
high rate Of speed. The two points
horizontal with the center Of the wheel
are travelling pretty fast, but only half
as fast as the topmost point. and as
the up going horizontal point increases
in speed the down going one slows mp
until 1t Is ut rest for a moment when
In contact with the ground. Yet the
wheel Is one solid piece and there are
only two points going at the same rate
Of speed at the same time. Yet II the
wheel Is taken or the axle and rolled
down an incline every point Of the cir
conference moves at the same rate OF
speed.

in one county indicates the extend to
which money was used in the fight
against Taft in Pennsylvania. Does 1t
not seem odd that the republicans of
Pennsylvania voted for Roosevelt as
the result Of a campaign against the

state gave $22, 500 for the Roosevelt
campaign in just one county? "Down

these results have taken place in the
of Chas. H. Burke, congress-
from the second district. Mr..
Burke is recognized as a Statesman in
Washington because Of the time that
he has served and the experience that
he has gained. On the other hand the
long period which he has served his
constituents gives him a knowledge Of
the peculiar needs Of his own people,
and likewise an insight how to secure
them at the Washington end Of the

FIVE LOYAL MEN TO STATE

Since the organization of the South
Dakota supreme court November 81
1889, there have been eight different
Judges on the bench. beginning with
Judges Dighton Corson, A. G. Kellam
and John +. Bennett, At that time
| there were but three members of the
court. Out of eight men who have
occupied positions or the supreme
bench, three, Judges BENEFIT, Kellam
and Fuller, are dead. The first change
in the original formation of the court
was caused by the death of Judge
Bennett and the vacancy caused by his
death was filled by the appointment OF
Judge Fuller from the Sixth circuit
bench. The next vacancy was caused
by the resignation of Judge kellam,
which was filled by the appointment of
Judge Haney, trial judge from the
Fourth circuit. Both of these appoint
ments were made by Governor Sheldon.
The next vacancy was created by the
death of Judge Fuller, which Governor
Crawford filled by the appointment of
trial Judge Chas. S. Whiting of the
Ninth circuit. When the legislature
increased the membership of the court
to FIVE, Judge Ellison G. Smith, trial
Judge of the First circuit, and Judge
]. H. Mccoy, trial judge of the Fifth
circuit, were appointed by Governor
Vessey. Every vacancy which has
occurred in the supreme bench has
been filled by the advancement of a
trial Judge of experience to the place.
The court. as it is now constituted, is
composed of Judge Corson, with an
experience of twenty-three years on
the supreme bench; Judge Dick Haney,
with twenty-three years. on the trial
and supreme bench; Judge Ellison G..
Smith. with twenty three years on the
trial and supreme bench; Judge Chas.
S. Whiting. with nine years on the
trial and supreme bench; and y. H.
Mccoy, with ten years or the trial and
supreme bench. The rule has always
been to advance trial judges when a
has been made for any reason
and it has become the unwritten law of
South Dakota. Since the court has
been increased to five members the
work is kept up to date and cases do
not lag. From April 1909, to April,
1912, since the court has been increased
it has handed down 528 decisions. of
100 have been the work of
Justice Corson, the first presiding judge
of the court.
These are five able and experienced
judges, just and upright, who have
proved in long years of service their
to the duties intrusted to them.
Their opinions are cited with great
respect in the courts of every state.
They represent no political faction, nc
combination and are a court whose
ability and integrity have beer
acknowledged by the courts of othel
states as inferior to none. The voter.
of South Dakota will continue IN the
Office they have honored Judges Corson
Haney and Whiting. Watch for thos,

Sioux Falls, which resulted in his dis
barment, it is no wonder he finds it
expensive to maintain a place among
the respectable people of the state. He
should have been content with being
readmitted to practice. Now, by his
candidacy for governor, he has forced

would have been glad to let him alone
