The Judicial Fight

The political fight for the Supreme
Bench is probably one OF the most
important in the state. T. \. Nc
Carran. in every way qualit1ed Tor
the office, a Nevada man, with all
his interests here, i the Democratic
nominee. He won the nomination
after a thorough state campaign, 1t
was a c~lean-cut and digni6cd victory.
1t proved McCarron Tot only a pop
ular but able representative Of the
bench.
Then the Bartlett matter anc up.
He feared to face McCarran at the
primary, lest he should be defeated.
The republicans. who have a regular
nominee. deserted their party man
and have given Bartlett their sup
port. In other words. Bartlett, who
was sem to Congress by the Demr-
Gratis, now asks the Republicans to
place him on the bench, and the Re-
publicans have the nerve to ask the
assistance of the Democrats 10 carry
ont the scheme.
The papers were hired. and paid
advertising appears all along the
line for Bartlett. He is boosted a.
a non-partisan candidate, but he has
failed to take any active part in this
campaign Tor Mr.. Wilson. or for
Mr.. Pittman, or for Mr.. Tallman, or
in fact identify himself with the
Democratic party. which twice hon
ored him by sending him to Wash
ineton.
This may be the non-partisan way
of doing. This may be the way to
win Republican votes. but it don't
get the Democrats in line.
Judge Thomas, the Progressive
nominee. is entitled to more consid-
Grafton than Mr.. Bartlett. as Mr..
Thomas is running on his approved
ticket. is free in his supper of Mr..
Roosevelt, is supporting his party
candidates all along the line. Such
men have convictions and win the
approval OF the thinkers.
McCarran is a staunch Democrat.
He speaks, acts and votes for the
Democratic ticket from end to end.
He is asking for the support of his
party, and will get it to a man. in
spite of the hired literature that Is
being sent on the plea OF non-politi-
cal afiliation as directed to Bartlett.
We believe a good, straight party
man is far better than a man with
out a party. You know where he is
at.

That Is Damaging.

CHICAGO, Jan. GA climax was
reached today in the trial of the ten
Chicago packers charged with criminal
violation of the Sherman law when
counsel for the defend ants moved to
have stricken from the record the evil
dence OF Jerome r. Pratt, identifying
the handwriting of ]. Ogden Armour,

nation among the defend ants between

Attorney M. w. Borders, represent

point that the testimony of the witness
Pratt on this point was incompetent,
for the reason that it was based on an
opinion obtained in the ordin ary
course of business and not on person al
knowledge.
Before the argument on this point
had been concluded, Attorney George

motion, seeking to have the jury in
struoted to disregard the evidence con-
