CITIES NAME JUSTICES
Present Supreme Court Personnel
Made up Entirely of Twin City !
Jurists.

ARE Cn6 VIII SlGAcS cIlClCleO TO every
one of the five judges of the Supreme
; Court, asks the Fairmont Independent
Is the southern half of Minnesota to be
denied single representative on states
highest tribunal. These are questions
that will confront the Minnesota voters
at the primary and general elections. I'm
less the voters of the state answer these
questions in the affirmative our dis
tinguished fellow citizen James H
Quinn will be nominated and elected as
a member of the Supreme Court.
At present all five of the judges Of
the state supreme court are practically
residents of the twin cities.
Judges Geo. L. Bum and Osca,
Hallam are old residents of St. Paul
having practiced law in that city fol
many years prior to their elevation to
the bench.
Judge Andrew Holt is an old resident
Of Minneapolis, having served as NUM-
cipal and district judge in that city fol
about twenty years prior to his elevation
to supreme court.
Chief Justice Calvin L. Brown moved
from Morris to st. Paul about twenty
years ago, and during the past fifteen
years has been resident of Minneapolis
Albert Schaller, who was appointed
about year ago to- fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge P. E.
Brown of Luverne, and against whom
Judge Quinn is now a. candidate, has
for many years to all practical purposes
been a resident in St. Paul,
While he has maintained his legal
residence in Dakota county, which was
necessary in order to hold the position
of state senator from that county, his
law Office has for many years been in
St. Paul., He has held the position of
City Attorney of South St. Paul, which
is for all practical purposes part Of the
state capitoEcity.
There are: two supreme court COM
both of whom are from the:
northern part: Of the state, Homer B.,
DidelI being from, Duluth and Myron D..
Taylor from ST.. Cloud
When Judge P, E. Brown, of Luverne,
Southern Minnesota's only representa-
tive in the supreme court, died, the entire
state expected the late Governor Ham
rnond to name some, Southern Minnesota
rnan as his successor, In, sizing up the
available timber for high judicial henors,
it was almost the unanimous verdict
among those familiar with state affairs,
that Judge j. H.. Quinn. Of Fairnaont,
as a. result of his place Of residence, his
long and efficient service GA the district
bench, his well known ability and his
clean and splendid record as, a. iurist was
the logical successor to Judge Brown
and when the governor ran1et MIR.
Schalle:,, a twin city man.. with ro Iu-
dicial experience and who hsEd been de-
feated for judge in his own district at the
previous election, it created, great sur
prise in all parts Of the state.
Judge Quinn's high and: spSandid
are unquestioneai. In ex-
perience and ability he: is the. equal Of
arY of those who in recent. Xears have
been elevated to this high position
His splendid record as a. IHlrist, his
great capacity for work, and the fact
that he waulh become a. most; efficient
member Of the supreme couzs,. Is ad-
mitted by all.
With such candidate there can be
no reason why Southern N1Hanesota's
claim for reGagnition should:be, ignored.
