In March, 1919, after the passage
OF a law wherein it was provided
that the Sixteenth Judicial District.
should have two judges ! was APP
pointed District Judge by Governor
Stewart. At that time the counties
of Garfield and Powder River were
added to the district.
Among the qualifications necessary
for Judge are:
First.-A sufficient knowledge of
the law.
Az to my qualifications in this re-
spect, would state that am a grad
uate of Minnesota Law School, 1904.
and have had fifteen years actual
practice. Since my appointment !
have reviewed and collected every
decision of the Supreme Court OF
Montana involving the law of evil
dence. These notes have been ap-
proved and publicly recommended by
Professor Wigmore. the greatest au-
thority in the United States on the
law of evidence.
The second necessary requisite OF

AS to this, would state that as
judge | have tried more than three
hundred cases, including forty-tivt
jury cases, and only one in no case
has any decision rendered by ME beer
set aside or reversed and only one
appeal has been taken to the Supreme
Court. This statement may be veri
fed from the court records of thu
various counties. This record shows
the satisfaction of lawyers and liti

suited in the saving Of the costs o
appeals which would have been nee
essary had the decision Of these case
been carelessly made or had the.
