All ChartZ is out with a lengthy
communication in the Carson Appeal
in which he attempts to justify the
position of judges III Office becoming
candidates for positions. other than
judicial positions. contrary TO a pro-
vision of the constitution. Chartz. like
Judge Norcross in his recent com
munication. carefully avoids the moral
and ethical side OF the question. deal
ing only with the legal side. regarding
which there is no argument.
The law is frequently diametrically
opposed TO justice and right. The
common layman can generally say
what is just and right. but no lawyer
can positively say what the law is.
!, frequently occurs that the supreme
judges OF the United States hold con
trary views.
In the case of judges in offices run
ming for executive or Legislative posi-
lions, lawyers hold contrary views on
the law in the case. but the layman
is pretty clear in his understa landing
that the constitution of the state is
not a rag to be twisted and bent At
will.
But if the constitution did not cN.
pressly forbid judges from running for
offices. other than judicial offices.
involved. What man, who is opposed
to the candidacy of a judge. would like
TO have that judge sit on 4 case in
which he might be interested where a
close legal question is involved? And
where is such Judge who wants TO
place himself in that position? \
judge in such a position might be hon
est and conscientious in his decision.
hut he might not be able TO so con
vince the party concerned or the gen
eral public.
Justice Hughes. who occupies Il po-
sition on the supreme bench of the
United States, has spoken clearly on
this subject. There is no constitu.
tional provision which denies him the
right to become candidate for presi-
dent, but he recognizes the moral
question involved, and refuses posi-
lively TO become Il candidate.
1t looks az though our forefathers
had framed wisely in adopting this
provision in the constitutions; but
wisely or unwisely, the provision is
there. and il has been subscribed TO
by every man who has been honored
with the judicial ermine. and they
have no moral right TO set their sacred
oaths aside.
