Policy, candidate for the republican
nomination for member of the supreme
court against Judge Dighton Corson,
has the temerity to publish the record
of Judge Corson's & with the EVIL
dent hope of influencing the voters
against that most worthy Judge in the
present contest. Mr.. Policy has mis-
judged the people of South Dakota.
They are not the kind to draw the age
limit and retire a worthy servant for
that reason alone. Judge Corson has
been upon the supreme bench since the
organization of the state and has been
its most t~ireless worker-the writer
knows this from his own personal
observation having lived in Pierre
nearly twelve of those years. His
opinions have each been considered a
model for law and justice and d classic
in English. That his powers are not
failing is clearly demonstrated by his
work during the last term Of the court.
There were five hundred and twenty
eight opinions handed down by the five
members of the court and Judge Cor
son wrote n hundred and nine of
them, and attorneys whose opinions
are considered excellent, they being
considered among the very best legal
talent in the state, tell US that these
last opinions are among the very best
ever written by the judge. The people
of South Dakota are a fair minded
people and believe in doing the right
thing generally and upon June fourth
they are going to the polls and by a
large majority win r.buke that kind
of campaigning on the part of Mr..
Policy and place a stamp of common
dation upon the good work done by
Judge Corson in the past and who has
grown old in their service.

I . part of Mr.. Egan that he was dis
barred from practicing law in this
state. 1t was because Of the action of
the supreme court in disbaring him
that he travelled up and down the state
accusing the court of being corrupt.
The Honorable J. H. Mccoy. than
whom no one stands higher in the
esteem of the people of this part of the
state, in his opinion rendered in con-
nection with the Egan disbarment,
among other things uses the following
language:
"Mr. Egan entered into a contract
with his client, of an hours
acquaintance, whereby he was to
receive $40, 600. 90 for defending her
against a charge of murder. and
whether she was sane or insane, it
would have left her a penniless pauper,
a fit subject for the poor house, had
she lived and been cleared OF the
charge upon trial. When this proceed
ing was being heard before this court,
he openly and boldly asserted that Mrs.
0'Grady, his client was guilty of MUIR
der. This was in direct violation of his
duty to his client. He had entered into
a contract to receive $40, 000.O0 to
defend her liberty and honor against
the charge of murder. Upon being
defeated in his litigation growing out of
his relations with Mrs. O'Grady. he
then entered upon a systematic vilifica-
ton of the courts and al who did not
agree with him."
1t was after all this had happened,
after he had been thoroughly o
Edemned by the courts for his conduct
As was ~hereinbefore related, after they
had determined and decided that he
had obtained the money and property
from Mrs. O'Grady by fraud, after
they had determined that he should
turn back every item of it and after
they had determined that he was not a
fit person to be a member of the bar of
this state that Egan made his applica-
ton for reinstatement to practice and
in connection with which application he
was examined under oath by n Of the
justices of the supreme court and was,
among other questions, asked the fol-
lowing and made the following answer:
Question: And you do believe, do
you, at the present time that this court
has acted conscientiously and from
proper motives in all that it may have
done, whether in favor of or againstyour
interests in any of these proceedings?
Answer: / believed when / filed my
petition and believe now that the court
acted conscientiously and honestly IN
all the facts that it had before it or
could get before it. touching my affairs
whether for me or against me-"
W. respectfully submit that the
question as to whether Egan is a per-
son who should be considered for any
public position in this state, to say
nothing of the high Office of governor,
is one that his own words, outside of
anything that anybody else has said or
could say, have effectually determined
against him. We do not believe that
argument is necessary to convince the
people of this state that a man who
stands before us by his own admissions
as n who would cold bloodedly rob a
poor weak-minded, helpless woman of
every cent that she has, should be
seriously considered for any position
of public trust.

About the only real truth that Geo.
w. Egan has told since he has resided
IN South Dakota was when he admitted
he he'd about the supreme court and
numerous members of the South
Dakota bar. That for all he has
done and all he has said and all he has
printed which might be construed as
rejecting upon this court or any
individual memoer of il, he apologies
and in so doing feels that he honors
himself" In answer to this question.
In reading your petition and from
what you have already stated, / take
it that il was your intention not only
to apologize to the court, but to retract
anything that you may have said that
in any way reflected upon the integrity
of the COURT" He said. THAT was
my intention at the time l filed the
petition then, and is my intention
now" Two years ag Mr.. Egan made
his campaign up and down the state as
a candidate for governor and the prin.
cipal parts of his speech were devoted
to the villifcatIon of the members of
the supreme court and holding himself
up for sympathy as a martyr who was
suffering a great grievous personal
wrong at their hands. Our opinion of
Mr.. Egan has always been that he was
absolutely unreliable and we believe
that his campaign statements regard
ing the court two years ago and sub
sequent object apology fully justifes
that opinion. TIE people of South
Dakota are not going to nominate a
man for governor who tried to gain
the position once by a campaign OF
falsehood and who stands today upon
the records of the supreme court a
s~elf-confessed liar.
