JUDGE ROSS REMAINS
 AT HIS POST 0F DUTY

Believing his duties at the cap- itol to be of paramount import ance, Chief Justice Henery D. Ross has declined an invitation to accompany the democratic state candidates on their cam paign tour and has elected to re- main in Phoenix "on the job.i'
 Asked recently to give his req sons why he does not wish to act ively enter the campaign, Judge Ross issued the following state ment:
 T am not going to make a campaign for two reasons for the office of judge of tke supreme court:
 First-My time is not my own. It belongs to the people. 1 am their servant and as long as their business demands my attention I cannot, and do my duty, take it myself or use it for any othsr purpose. There are cases pend ing in the supreme court ready for argument and submission.
 It is more important to pri- vate litigants and the public that these cases be taken up and de- cided, than that 1 should be rum ming around over the state shak- ing hands and making political speeches in the interest of my re- election.
 The judges duties are person al. He cannot act through de- puties or agents as executive and ministerial officers may. No one can act for the judge. Therefore if he is not on the job the public interest must be neglected. From now until election I shall be at my office discharging its duties to the best of my ability.
 ''Second-Since statehood, un- til now, no candidate for judge of the supreme court has actively participated in prediction cam paigns. The republican and democratic candidates have uni have uniformly refused to cam paign with their party associates, and this without any previous understandings but out of a sence of propriety of keeping the judi iary out of political controversy.
 Such high class lawyers as Judge Kent, Judge Doe, Thomas Armstrong and Walter Bennitt have been ,honored by the repub- lican party as it's nominees and none of them ever actively par ticpated in the party campaigns. 1 had hoped this settled but un- written law would continue the rule in Arizona and so far as I am concerned it shall be obser- we'd. To the extent that it lies in my power, 1 am ready, willing and anxious to keep the election of our judges out of politics. .''
