the seFerest sentences on the promi-
ner- yiolarors Of the law-those who
know and should do better and be an

WIS shown mercy TO the ignorant,
All 70 the unintentionaI yiolators of
municipal laws. I have known him
Intimately from boyhood, we having
been classmates al school, and nat
urGlly I have noted his career with
interest and pride, and do not hes
it5te 70 say that in my JUDGMENT you
vii render your state a high service
y giving him your support.
We hear much these days about the
DELAYS and rechnicalities of the law.
o. these and other pertinent points
I take the liberty OF quoting from the
platform on which Judge Broyles is
mailing his race,
4 have lived in Georgia all my
If, and am deeply interested in her
growth and progress. I am especial
i concerned about judicial reforms
in our state and have some decided
and progressive ideas on this sub
jet. First and foremost I believe in
the enforcement OF all OF our laws
if It's bad law, repeal it-but as
| long as il remains a law, enforce it.
| In Georgia, the law should be SUI
| prcme, But at present, this is far
| from being the case. IN the matter
o. murders, robberies, whisky selling,
Tistol 'toting and other crimes,
! Gecrgia's record is not one 10 bring
th2 flush of pride to our cheeks, but
rather the blGsh Of shame. They see
| myrderers, whisky peddlers, md 9TH
er criminals, after being convicted in
tn city and superior courts Of the
state, appeal their cases TO the high
g. courts, and then often, on techni-
CT points made b. shrewd lawyers,
icy see them given new trials, and
frequently on the second trials, the
states. witnesses being dead .. scat
tered, they see them turned loose
without any punishment whatever.
TEis has two very bad results-hrst-
", it encourages other criminals 10
commit crimes, and secondly, it pro-
voaes mob law, and all the terrible
consequences that follow.
England and other countries have
done away with these absurd legal
teChnicaliIies, whose only object is
to help the guilty man escape justice,
Why can't Georgia also discard them
II | should be honored by the
people OF Georgia with a seat on the
court Of appeals, l would decline to
reverse any verdict or judgment of a
lower court on technical point, I'M
lcss the law in express terms COM
manded me TO do so, and in that
event ! would make a note of it and
call it to the attention OF the legis-
latrre and ask that this particular
technically be abolished, so that, in
tn future at least there should be
NJ such miscarriage OF justice In
other words, if the records of 4 case
seEt up from the lower court showed
that substantial justice had been Civ
en- in that court, / would decline TO
grant a new trial on technicalities.
q have an honorable ambition TO
serve the people Of my native state
as judge of the court of appeals, and
l respectfully refer them to the rec
or ] have made for unfolding the
Law and for giving justice to all alike,
without fear, favor or affection "
am sure that his position or
these vitality important questions will
appeal TO every thoughtful citizen of
the state, and no man in Georgia can
be more confidently relied upon to
perform any promise that he may
make than my much esteemed friend
NJ 81. Broyles. Respectfully.
