Gettysburg, Pa, August Is, 1915.
REV. J. B. BAKER,
Chairman Joint Committee of
Inter-County Judiciary Temperance League
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

SIR
The receipt of your communication of recent date con-
tanning questions submitted to me Candidate for Pres
dent Judge Fifty-rst Judicial District is acknowledged
The Questions submitted are so numerous and intricate
that shall not attempt to answer them in detail
Judicial candidate should not in any way commit him
self in advance upon any subject which might before
him afterward for judicial determination
On the 10th day of January 1915, Orvis, President
Judge in Centre County Liquor License, found in Dis
ric Reports Volume "a page 616 relating to the granting
of liquor licenses filed an opinion in which, among other
things, he says:
This Legislation requires the Courts to hear the test
mony and pass upon the merits of each license application
1t therefore unthinkable for pledge himself in ad
vance, out of Difference supposed moral sentiment
to refuse all licenses when he must take oath that
quires him mparay hear each and dispose Of the
in accordance with the principles laid down by the ap
pelate Courts etc. "
In the case of Rener License SO Superior Court page
$50, which involved effort to disquay two Associate
Judges because of an alleged pledge made before election
not to grant liquor licenses Judge Rice following the de-
cisiOns of the Supreme Court says:
mo Judge whose duty it is to hear and decide has
legal moral right to dsquafy himself to render just
decision by determining before hearing that he will grant
all applications or refuse all applications 1t would be
idle ceremony dscredtabe to the Court that conduct
ed and tending to bring the administration of the law
into contempt"
In referring to the pledges of candidates, that in the
event of election to the Office they would refuse all the
applications Judge Rice further says:
"Ths is grave charge It implies an accusation that
each of these Judges had made pledge the keeping of
which would disquay him in this class of cases. to give
such hearing and decision the law and his oath of office
require Judge of the Quarter Sessions to give"
statement of opinion as to what a Candidate for
above decisions would raise question to dsquafy him in
the event of having afterwards pass upon similar ques-
ton after election. Judge must show respectful obed-
to the laws and their Interpretation by the Superior
and Supreme Courts and under the decisions of these
Courts it would be improper for Candidate say
more than if elected Judge of the 5lst Judicial Dis
ct composed of the Counties of Adams and Fulton that
will always give fair impartial and conscientious hear
ing consideration and determination of all applications for
licenses and remonstrances thereto they arise according
to the law and under the decisions of the higher Courts in
terpretng these laws will seek to do in all matters
that should come before me if elected
All of which is respectfully submitted
Yours very truly,
