FUDGE THOMAS A. JONES of Jack
son, Ohio, n of the Republican
nominees for supreme court Judge,
is a judge of the court of appeals
in the fourth appellate district, COM
posed of fifteen counties in southeast
ern Ohio. He has served longer on
this appellate bench than any of its
judges except one-and is well quail
fed by training and experience for q
service on our suprme bench.
After seventeen years Of law prac-
tice he was elected to the circuit court
in 1900; he was reelected In 1905; and
was again reelected in 1912 to the
court of appeals on the non-partisan
ballot. That his qualifications and
service merited the approval of his
constituency in the fifteen counties of
his district is shown by the result OF
that election. Although the Democra-
tic gubernatoria; candidate carried his
district by about 5000 plurality, Judge
Jones. carried it by nearly 1000.
In 1911, Judge Jones was the chief
Justice of the circuit courts of Ohio.
He is 55 years of age and a graduate
of the Ohio University, which has con-
ferred upon him the degree of bachelor
and master of arts.
"On the bench, Judge Jones brought
to the discharge of his official duties,
a thorough knowledge Of law and
equity, a strong passion for justice, a
rigid integrity and hard common sense,
which has made his judicial admins
tration in this circuit court district
a signal success, and which brought
him almost a unanimous reelection"
