nouncemcnt in favor of lawyers for
the place may be "follow-up" of the
patriotic" Endorsement of Mr.. Stickel.
In support of his demand that the
lawyers cease their cry of "a legal
mind for legal office" Mr.. Hitchcock
writes:
will Mr.. Stickel or any other law
yer, if elected, take from the Orphans
Court any of its prerogatives? VIII
he or any of them assume to approve
accounts. take final action in case OF
caveats, and in case of the hundred
and one other things which come par
ticularly within the jurisdiction of
this court? If they will, how? Can
they do it without special legislation
in that behalf2
rs it not the honest fact that If
either Taylor, German or Stickel land
the office, they will have to do just
what Gaven will have to do-attend
to the executive duties of the office, see
that their payrolls are properly made
up, and their office work kept mp to
the proper notch? is it not certain
that the personnel of this Office Win
be identical with that now there, II
either of these gentlemen get the
placer"

wills, the appointing of executors,
the granting of letters of administra-

in the Orphans's Court were of a ju-

best interests Of the people would be
served by their performance by one
possessing legal training.
