JUDGE MILLERs CANDIDACY.
is MEETING ALL THE VOTERS

Judge D. nj. Miller was a visitor
on Monday in our city. Judge
Miller has completed his canvass
In Lincoln county in the interest
|of his candidacy for Circuit Judge.
The genial gentleman says he knows
every cross road IN the county
every church and school house land
now knows the people better than
ever since he has shared their
homes and partaken Of their hospi-
tafity. He has been entertained
royalty by them and has enjoyed
every moment of the campaign
The Judge has been explaining
satisfactorily why the gambler. the
blind tiger and the locker clubsD
are after him and why, because they
could find nothing against his rec
ord, some Of his enemies made in
the prosecution of law. have gone
70 muck raking and tried to bring
u Ito disrepute his good name in the
actice of his profession when
ere is no foundation to the most
Rusible statements they make.
en less true to the right and who
dbuld not dominate Judge Miller
would like to pull him down to
their own level; and people are in
clined to lay their self-made trou-
bles at the door Of some other than
themselves.
Judge Milier's record on the bench
is sufficient to elect him. 1--WE all
know he is on the side of right by
what he has DONE" say his con-
stitueuts.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1914-07-18
Hon. 0. B. Taylor for Chancellor.

On August 18, the voters will,
for the first time in over fifty
years, choose their Judge of the
Charcery Court. the people having
decided that they wanted a change
from the plan of having their
judges filled by the governor upon
the recommendation and dictation
of few lawyers.
Hon. q. B. Taylor of Kinds
county, who is a candidate for
Chancellor of this district, has been
engaged in the practice of law for
nine years and has enjoyed u large
practice in the Chancery court.
He has made remarkable record
as County Attorney of Kinds coun-
| ty, the records showing that length
| of term of grand iuries has decreas-
ed from % to a days: that the fines
assessed increased in one term
from $S75 to over $1,000 and that
largely through his efforts our
Capital City has been made a clean
place for boys and girls who are
lgoing there from all parts of Miss
issippi.
As a distinguished ex-chancellor
of the supreme court expressed it,
'Mr. Taylor IS especially fitted for
this Office not only by temperament
and disposition, but by his learning
land knowledge of the law"
While Mr.. Taylor is going to the
people direct and is not running on
1.-THE endorsement of lawyers, yet il
Imay be stated he is recommended
las entirely competent by practically
1.-THE entire bar of the district, and
Lby members of the Supreme Bench
and Judges Of all the courts, many
lof whom as individuals, are sup
IportiDg him and reports from
Kinds county, show that Mr.. Tay.
Ior has practically the solid support
of all classes farmers, preachers,
merchants, lawyers. doctors me.

no ANSWER YET FILEO.-AT.
TORMEYS HAVE BEEN BUSY

On account of reasons best known
to themselves, Messrs. L. Brady,
jr.. and A. A Cohn, special counsel
appointed by the court in certain
Commercial Bank causes. have not
yet filed their answer to the petit
tion of stockholders and other petit
tions to depositors which had their
inception in the minds of the
former officers and stockholders of
the institution. 1t is learned that
a hearing in the cause will not
be had before Judge Jones next
week, as expected. but will take
place some time the latter part of
the month.
These special attorneys, Messrs
Brady 4 Cohn. have spent a good
portion of time the past few days
Investigating into certain cases
assigned them, as we'll as other
matters. having full authority so
to do, under the courts order, and
have been in frequent consultation
EEith Special Commissioner w. F.
IWildberger in carrying out their
assignment. and state that the
answer they will file will be more
than worth the reading even by a
disinterested party on account of
the matter it will deal with.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1914-07-18

The Chronicle this week presents
the name of Hon P. z. Jones, of
Brookhaven, as a candidate for
Congress from the Seventh District.
In making announcement of his
candidacy Judge Jones has yielded
to the very earnest solicitation of
voters from all over the district,
who regard him as a man peculiar
ly fitted and equipped for the inn
portant Office he seeks.
The writer does not enjoy the
personal acquaintance of Judge
Jones, and is not. therefore, in
position to have a personal opinion
of his ability. etc., but that is best
attested by the splendid endorse
ment given him by mass meeting
of his fellow citizens. recently held
in Bruokhaven. The resolutions
adopted by that mass meeting are
published elsewhere in this issue.
The Chronicle will have some.
thing further to say of Judge Jones
as. the campaign progresses Fay

this testimony, contradicting
Brewer. to go to the jury at all.
This was all tnat the Judge could
do on the trial of the cause. With
one hand the prosecuting counsel
under the rulings of the court, rak-
ed into the case every thing in the
way of evidence that they could
lay hands on. And on the other.
hand, under the auspices Of favora-
BILE rulings by the court they strip
ped the defendants case of the
most important matters of testi-
mony.
We come now to the elimination
OF this drama played in the Temple
of Justice. and, beholdl the jury
brought the whole cardboard house
down about the ears Of the Judge
by verdict of acqulttal.
There has never been. in the
history of Mississippi, a more ex-
traordinary spectacle in the rulings
of a court. And there has never
been in the ertire history of our
Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence, a more
admirable, or more splendid ex :
ample and demonstration of the
wisdom and the Justice of the great
common law institution Of the trial
by jury.
The iuries of the country are the
last and the final bulwark Of the
life, liberty aud security Of the
Icitizen against oppression, wrong
and corruption. When the juries
of country become corrupt and
betray the lises or the liberties Of
their fellow citizens, then indeed
the virtue of commonwealth has
departed.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1914-07-18

distinct offence, a decision, how
ever, authoritative, that was
promptly brushed aside by the
prosecuting attorneys and the
Judge.
The defendant then asked for a
continuance upon the ground that
evidence of an alleged new and dis
tinct offence had been sprung on
him at the very end of the trial,
and that he should be given an OPP
portunity to meet it. This was
denied by the court
Finally, to complete the record
on this line, and to give a finish
and climax to these rulings, the
court refused to allow Lieut.. Gov.
Bilbo TO introduce any Of the wit
nesses offered by him to disproye
Samples story and to show that it
was all fabrication.
Whether by cunning design or
not, the fact stands out in bold
relief. that the time arranged for
Samples introduction as witness
in the case. when the testimony
of the defence was all in, and at
the tail end of the case, was gross
ly unjust to the defence, and took
the defendant at a great and unfair
disadvantage. The testimony it.
self was grossly incompetent under
the recent decisions of the Supreme
Court.
These rulings were bad enough,
but more was to come.
| Gov. Brewer was permitted to
testify in rebuttal, to conversa-
tions with Senator Hobbs. which
were incriminating in character
according to the testimony Of this
witness; and then to testify that he
had never made any improper pro-
posals whatever to Hon. Pat Henry,
i lone of the defendants counsel
for his abandonment Of Lieut.. Gov.
Bilbo's defense.
When Mr.. Henry was offered as
a witness to prove, as showing
/ Gov Brewers animus in the
prosecution. thar Brewer had offer.
ed him a fee to absent himself
from the case until the trial wa.
over, the Judge refused to allow
