j this district in the newspapers of the five
counties which the district comprises.
The Judge has served two terms on the bench.
He did not seek election two years ago, but when
Judge Clague resigned last year Judge Olsen was
appointed to fill the vacancy until the coming
election and if he is elected it will be for a
term of six years from next January.
Judge Olsen is popular with the bar Of the dis
trict and we believe that the lawyers are general
ly supporting him. These men tell US that they
have found him fair and impartial and they look
upon him as one who is both temperanlentally and
Intellectually qualified for the office.
The Judge has what the lawyers call judicial
mind and he is not one who easily becames ex-
cited He is one of those who keeps the "even
tenor of his way no matter what happens.
Among the people the judge stands well. He
has reputation for square and honest dealing,
and there are none but have confidence in his
ability and his intention to do the right thing
In his intercourse with the jurors, and the peo-
pie who have business with the court, he has won
the good opinion of all.
The Judge is quiet He is deliberate in
speech and action and no one need fear anything
in the line of "snap judgments" in his court.
What he does he does after "due deliberation" and
there is any doubt about his putting forth
his very best efforts to the best interests Of
the people.
The Judge is man of high ideals He stands
for the preservation of all that is good in our gov
ernment and our social and industrial life. He is
an American through and through and he has
small use for those who claim citizenship here
but who worship at the shrine of some foreign
king other foreign power He has made all
this plain in some of the excellent talks that he
has given when he has conducted classes Of ap-
plicants through the formality and the outward
ceremony of becoming citizens of the United
States.
The Americanism Of the judge is of that sturdy
type that makes one feel that here is who
not only processes but who really believes, that
the ideals and the institutions of America are su-
perior and should be guarded and preserved.
1t is not by "patting people on the back or
'jollying" them to their face that Judge Olsen has
won the esteem Of the public There is nothing
of the demonstrative about the Judge
He is a silent who moves among his fe-
lows intent upon the work he is engaged in and
mindless of the affairs that engross others.
People know him to be Of that substantial type
that can always be relied upon, and they feel that
they may well trust him with their judicial mat
ters.
They knew that he is sincere, trustworthy and
not to be influenced in his decisions by any mo-
tives but those born of desire to deal honestly
and to mete out justice.
That is why the people are going to re-elect
Judge Olsen. His service as judge has qualified
him to give even still better service and the
people of the district have desire to expert
ment with a the bench. They may
be willing to change other officials but when it
comes to the office Of Judge, if they have man
who has been tried and found to stand the test
they want to keep him.
That is the kind Of judge Olsen has been and
that is why the people are gong to return him at
the next eection.-AiinneOta Mascot.
