JUDGE C. E. SNODGRASS.

In this issue Judge G. +. Snod-
grass is announcing as a csndi-
date for reelection as Judge for
this circuit. The writer has
known Judge Snodgrass from
youth up, has been personally
and intimately acquainted with
him and has always found him a
kind neighbor, Christian gentle
man and a good citizen. In hun
dreds of instances he has preach
ed the funeral sermons of the
departed and he has poured the
balm of consolation into the ach-
ing hearts Of hundreds of be-
reaved. In every walk of life he
has had a kind word for aspiring
young, the middle aged struggle
ing along life's pathway and to
the broken and unfortunate he
has extended the balm Of kind
words and a helping hand. Be-
ing moral he is not perfect, and
has made mistakes but who of
us has not; he that has not, let
him be first to cast a word of re-
proach.
We once heard a very able at
torney remark something like
this; ED Snodgrass has the
most remarkable ability in find
ing the law that fits a case of
any man | ever knew" 1t is
well known that the Snodgrass
family has long been devoted to
the legal prof ession and it would
seem safe TO feel. in the light of
all conditions, that Judge Snod-
grass is as little liable to miscon-
strue or fail to find the law APP
plicable to every case that comes
before him as any attorney in
this circuit, if he has an equal,
which many doubt.
His labors on the bench have
been open and before the people
forov six years and they along
should be the ones to decide as to
his fitness to fill the high duties
of the position. and it is to the
common people that he makes
his plea for reelection. If he
has failed at any time in execus-
ing the law, it has beed due to
that kindness of heart that may
in some instances have caused
him to lean to the side of mercy
toward those who have violated
the laws. Mercy being one of the
highest attributes. we feel that
no one should or will hold that |
against Judge Snodgrass.
1t is for the people to say as to
his fitness and it is your duty to
go to the polls December and
there express your viii. When
that verdict is rendered Judge
Snodgrass will have no complaint
to offer and will chearfully abide
the charlottesville Chronicle.

We, the members of the Cross
will Bar, express our sense of
pride, esteem and appreciation
of Hon. C. E. Snodgrass as a
man, lawyer and Judge;
AS a man, he is an exemplary
life. He is the embodiment of
Southern hospitality. He is a
consistent and devout Christian
and is too charitable to be veal
thy.
AS a lawyer, he is an assidious
student; he is learned and CLASH
cal; he is possessed of an analy-
tic and comprehensive mind and
ranks with the ablest.
AS a Judge he has rendered
distinguished service, rejecting
credit and honor upon the Circuit
and the State; he is capable and
fearlesr. fair and impartial, and
tempers justice with mercy, and
being seldom reversed, the re-
cords of the Appellate Court are
living witnesses of the soundness
and wisdom OF his decisions. He
is just Judge, and is possessed
of a trained legal mind and of
judicial poise, and maintains the
dignity of the court.
We, therefore, deem it our du-
ty to commend him to the voters
and people of the Fifth Judicial
Circuit for reelection to the
Judgeship Of this Circuit, which
he now fills with honor, both to
himself and the public.
