JUDGE MooRE's CANDIDACY.
Recommends Itself To All Who Be
Iieve in Efficient Service.

lieve in Efficient Service.
Hon. Joseph II. Moore. justice Of
the supreme Court, is a candidate for
re- election ON the Republican ticket
His candidacy recommends itself to
every voter who takes pride In up
holding the dignity and high stand
ard Of the supreme tribunal of the
state. His candidacy recommends it,
self TO every voter who believes in
honoring man. who. as Jurist, en-
joys an enviable reputation through
out this broad country. For Justice
Moore is the mentor Of the bar in
Michigan.
In the very nature of the exalted
position. justice of the Supreme
Court has little or no opportunity to
mngle with the people and acquire
what is termed popularity Conn
PEELED to reside in comparatively
small community. far away from the
hustle and activity of the larger
cities of the state. confined In the
peaceful halls Of justice in the capt
toll of Michigan, the dispensing of JUS
tice becomes a duty at once austerc
and solemn.
Nevertheless, during his seventeen
years of service on the supreme Court
bench. Justice Moore has retained his
interest in everything that affected
the welfare of the state and kept In
sympathetic touch with the thoughts
and demands OF the people. TO the
friendships of an earlier manhood, he
has added those that he formed since
his residence in Lansing. Lawyers
who have had occasion To appear be-
fore him on legal business have gone
away with the feeling of sincere at
lection for the grand old man"
Thus the Hon. Joseph h. Moore
has overcome the awkward handicap
of his position, endeared himself to
his acquaintances i'm the capitol and
made himself we'll liked by lawyers
and attorneys all over the state. He
is of rugged health. physically and
mentally In the seventeen years
that he has graced the bench OF the
Supreme Court. he has not lost
single day i'm court on account OF his
own ill-health. He comes from sturdy
stock. Born in Commerce, Oakland
county, this state, he worked his way
through Hillsdale college, and en-
tered upon the study of law while
working i'm his fathers mill. He COM
pleted these studies and graduated
from the law department of the Uni
versity Of Michigan. At the age OF
"A he located in Lapeer, and there
entered upon the practice of law. AS
resident of Lapeer he has been sig
nally houored by his fellow citizens,
and was subsequently, in turn, elected
prosecuting attorney, mayor, state
senator and judge of the Sixth judicial
circuit, comprising Lapeer and Oak
land counties.
In this position he gained great
popularity. He was ALWAYS courteous
to the members of the bar. He was at
all times affable. and never failed 10
encourage the young lawyer by kind
word and by listening patiently 70
his arguments and views of the law
In his conduct toward the jurors
Joe" Moorc--as he was familiariy
called those days-was always ready
! for n hearty hand shake, and eager ia
bestow those little acts of kindness
and consideration that are so highly
appreciated.
In 1895 Hon. Joseph b. Moore was
! elected q member of the Supreme
Court by vote of $1,000 plurality
and when he ran for reelection in
1 105. his plurality was increased Z
! 10000 votes. He now again asks
for the suffrage of his fellow citizens
and the state can III afford to lose the
services of Hon. Joseph 3. Moore. Hi
! knowledge of the law, his deep insight
into the ills and the needs of the peo-
pie of this state the confidence which
he enjoys on the part of the members
Of the bar, his vast legal experiences
and ripe judgmet, eminently QUALIFY
him for the lofty office TO which tho
people have twice elected him before
and to which he should be returned IN
