The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-11-03
INTRODUCTION

This article is published in order that each
individual voter may read and judge personally
as to the fitness OF candidates, now seeking
election to the Bench, for the position to which
they aspire.
1t is circulated in the interest Of the can
didacy OF Judge Grimshaw to call to your atten-
ton the facts.
The duties of Judge Grimshaw as Judge Of
the Superior Court Of the State Of Washington
began on September fifth, since which time he
has had no opportunity to conduct any campaign
activities, being occupied continuously with his
Court work. He will be so occupied each work
ing day until the election is over.
He has and maintains no campaign man
ayers, no campaign headquarters, no band of
devoted workers actuaed by personal grudges
or disappointed ambitions to labor for the de-
feat of his opponent, he is actuated by no de-
sires to vent his spleen upon any one.
His past campaigns have been conducted,
as this has been and is being conducted, under
his positive refusal to play politics.
The success or failure Of his present can
didacy rests upon the citizenship OF Chelan
county and the approval by that citizenship Of
the removal of the judicial Office from political
or other influence.
There is danger that his refusal to indulge
in political scramble and employ the usual
tactics to prejudice voters may permit others to
defeat him. He must depend upon his friends
and we'll wshers to campaign for him.
To that end the within matters are pre-
sented for your consideration.

COURT RULES

You have. no doubt. heard statements
ment.
You have been struck by the fact, if you
have noted it, that no statement has appeared
and no charge been made which points out any
particular rule by subject or by number and
attacks it.
Do you know why
There is not a rule in force in Chelan
county today-nor has there been one in force
at any time since 1910-whch is not the same
in its wording and in its enforcement as it was
on November 1st, A. D. 1910 at which time
the present court rules were adopted, were
spread upon the minutes as shown in the Jour
nal Of the Court and were published in
pamphlet form.
Nearly all Of the present rules can be
traced back, through succeeding administra-
tions Of the various judges who have sat in this
district, to 1897.
You did not hear any objection to the
Rules 81 Court in 1919. 'Tf6sh Judge Grimshaw
was a candidate for reelection, did you?
You did not hear any objection to the
Rules of Court from any source until in the
summer OF 1916, when certain individuals were
launching a campaign to elect themselves to
the judicial Office.
WhJ this strange silence if the pres
emf attack is sincere?

HISTORICAL

VIM. A. Grimshaw was born July 8, 1879,
at Pittsfed, Pike county, Illinois. His father,
VIM. Arthur Grimshaw, and his grandfather,
VIM. Grimshaw, were lawyers.
Judge Grmshaw began as law student in
a law Office in the summer OF 1897. He con-
tinued in the same Office until September 1899,
except during the period Of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. He served as a private in Company
A, Fifth Illinois Volunteer Infantry during the
war with Spain.
He matriculated at the law department Of
the University OF Michigan, Ann Arbor, Sep
TENDER 1899. He graduated therefrom with
the degree of Bachelor Of Laws, in June 1902.
He was admitted to practice law in the
state OF Illinois, after examination, before his
graduation from the university. He came to
Wenatchee, Chelan county, Washington, June
10th, 1908, and Immediately began the prac-
tice OF his profession as law partner OF Mr..
Burt j. Williams, which partnership continued
until January 10th, 1909. The law firm OF

law. It is to the interest Of every tax
payer, voter and resident Of the county
that he possess these qualifications.
He must also prosecute all criminal
cases, and conduct all civil litigations
Of the county before the justice, super
ior and supreme courts Of the state.
To perform this duty, he should have
the additional qualification of being a
trial lawyer Of at least fair ability. 1t
is to the interest of all, excepting Grim
inals, that he possess this qualification
also.
AS to whether I AIN qualified for the
office, without consulting them, I in
vite inquery OF all members of the
bench and bar of Chelan, Douglas and
Grant counties.
II you honor me by electing me, l
will endeavor TO enforce the laws and
all Of them, and perform the duties OF
the office fairly and impartially, using
all persons. parties and classes alike,
will prosecute no one unless prose
cution is justified will conduct it with
vigor and due consideration for the
magnitude of the offense. I will show
each locality due consideration and at
tention equal to that shown every other
locality in the county. Crimes COM
mitted against obscure persons will be
handled the same as if the victims were
the most influential citizens. I will
give, as far as possible, each matter my
personal and energetic attention and
will be controlled by no person or class
and will be under obligation to none
but the residents, voters and taxpayers
Of the county as a whole, devoting to
them my time and such ability as l
may possess, aided by the experience
Of eleven years active practice OF law
in this part of the state. l will en-
deavor TO, and believe l can, save the
county money without sacrificing eff
cheney. Yours truly,
G. G. Hannah.

was raised In rank from viscount to

In 1912 the discovery Of plot to as

When Count Okuma retired as pre-

pected that Count Terauchi would sue

pressed opposition to this, because
Terauchi has long been known as an
