Chief Justice Brown and Justices
Holt and Hallam, who are candidates
for reelection, are three of the ablest
and fairest judges Minnesota has ever
had. If there was anything in their
opinions which disclosed narrow and
backward Interpretation of law, or a
disinclination to meet, so far as judges
have a right to meet, the progressive
spirit of the day, there might be ground
for OPPOSITION. That the Judges are
courageous and not afraid to interpret
the law and constitution without fear
and favor, is seen in the judgment in
the Non-partisan case. The Judges
should be chosen as non-partisan, and
Notwithstanding that we believe it was
unfair to deny Justice Schaller re-
election and that refusal to do SO was
partisanship, the three justices who ask
for reelection deserve it on this ground
alone without reelection deserve it on
alone without reference to their per-
sonal qualities. Their opponents are
able and clean men, we have no doubt,
but believing thoroughly in the non
partisanship Of the Judiciary, we be-
lieve the sitting judges should be en-
dorsed.
