ONE JUDGE A DEMOCRAT.
rxr,., ,I,;,,,au Tri hume


AS the judiciary Of Iowa is chalned
to politics; as the Iowa law MAKES II
necessary that district judges seek 'ne
support of political parties FOR nohil-
nations, those favoring non partisan
judiciary and that includes most eN-
e1ybody but the politicians OF the re
publican party-must, at thls 'iihe' 60
what they can. While politics mas
not been injected into judicial aii4!!s
in Iowa. to the extent oil aitectlns

many of the great cities, ana tnere Is
no complaint to make on the char aetc,
of our judges, or upon their Juuiei"'
acts, still is it assuming too nuch "

Tenth judicial district be OF the
democratic political faith? why not

in this state that it is allowed to take
away small advantage from the re-
publican party, the people can over
come this BY taking the matter in their
own hands.
a, the last election the democratic
party had no candidate for the district
court bench. No nominations were
made, principally, because Judges
Plat and Ransier had made satisfac-
tory records on the bench. The con
fidence and esteem in these judges
were not held solely by members or
their own political party The minor

a spirit that not only democrats feel,
but, we believe the spirit That is lei;
by the general public, regardless OF
politics or party.
The thought that the judiciary
should be taken ont of politics is al
most universally felt.
The judiciary should be free, with
obligations 10 no political party. Pres
ident Taft did not hesitate to appoint
democrats to the federal and supreme
court benches; did not hesitate to ap-
point democrat chief justice. Then
in this Tenth judicial district of Iowa
why can it not be agreed among our
selves, to allow the democratic party

to be appointed by the governor, why
not a democrat? Why not genera!
