PERCY POINTS OUT
ABILITY OF MEN IN
JUDICIAL OFFICES
Names Three Men Whose
Work on Bench Makes
Strongest Appeal to
Lawyers

Walker Percy last night telegraphed
The Age-Herald as follows from White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va:
TO the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In the approaching election the most in
telligent voter will have difficulty in MAX
ing his selection for all of the offices to
be filed. The most important judicial
offices to be filled are of such character
that their incumbents are not brought in
contact with the public and cannot be
generally known to the voter.
The chief justice of the state, the pre-
siding Judge of the court of appeals and
the chancellor of Jefferson county are the
most important judicial officers to be Sc
lected by the voters of jefferson county.
Is it presumptuous for a lawyer pro-
foundry interested in the high character
of our judges to publicly say that John
C. Anderson, John Pelham and Alfred FL.
Benners, who are respectively chief JUS
tice of the state, presiding judge of the
court of appeals and chancellor of JEFF
ferson county, have for a number of years
handled the important, difficult and I'M
ending labor of their respective offices
with industry, impartiality, wisdom and
professional ability of the highest order?
Efficiency is none too common in our
public service. If the character of work
done by the three men named was known
to the voters, as 1t is to the lawyers, their
reelection would be almost unanimous.
