JUDGE SULLIVAN'S
SUCCESSOR HERE

Hon. John G. Rice of Caldwell. Ida,
Il very promising candidate for the SUI
Prcme bench to succeed Judge Sull.
van. was in Blackfoot last Friday and
Saturday visiting friends who seem to
be legion. Mr.. Rice enjoys the dstinc-
tlon of being one of the most able and
honorable lawyers in this State. His op.
ponent is Judge Robert Dunn of Coeur
d'Alene, but as Judge Morgan of the
supreme bench is also from the north.
Moscow, it would not be fair or wise
for the voters of the State to have two
north Idaho men on the supreme bench.
Judge Sullivan is also a candidate to
succeed himself, but as he has been on
the supreme bench for the past quarter
of century, ever since we became "A
State, it is not likely that he is at all
sanguine of being reelected. and as he
is getting along in years and doubtless
private life would not offend him or
his former constituency very seriously.
81 am a candidate for the office Of
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
State.
II have practiced law in the State
for twenty-five years. During that time
/ have been impressed with the power
of the courts to affect the welfare and
happiness of all those who make up our
common wealth. Nearly every relation
in life may pass in review before the
courts, and all property may need the
sanction of their decree.
make the foregoing announcement
of my candidacy with due appreciation
Of the high character of the service re-
quirea Of those whom the people select
to take the responsibility resting upon
our highest court
Mr.. Rice is lawyer at Caldwell, and
will probably be remembered by the
old-timers as an associate of former
Governor Steunenberg in the establish
ment of the first bank in ST. Anthony.
Six years ago he was a, candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination against
Governor Hawley on the Democratic
ticket. He is described by the people
of his home town as being prominent
and eminent citizen.
AS the nominations for Justices OF
the supreme court have by law been
made non-partsan in nature, the ele
ment of politics does not enter into
the campaign Of Judge Rice. He with
others will have to go before the peo
pie at the primary unsupported by po
litical party, and purely upon their own
merits
