RAps BAR ASSOCIATION

Editor The Star: On October

made certain recommendations
against Judge Milo A. Root. n di-
rect primary nominee for judge OF
the superior court.
II IN important for the voters TO
know that the attorneys taking
part In that meeting are less than
10 per cent OF the prscticing attor-
neys OF King county. The voters
should aiao know that the attor-
n.ys directing the action OF that
meeting. IN 1912 rallied to the de-
fene OF a federal Judge against
whom the evidence was common
knowledge and Was uncontradicted.
This contrast In their actions Ia
confusing and suggests that their
present interest In judicial purity
Is possibly unctured with other mo-
tives.
A few years ago corporation AZ.

that the convention system came

dice his election by the recital of
few facts that were well within
the knowledge OF the electorate at
the primary.
