The Judgeship
TO THE CITIZENS OF GARRETT COUNTY: LADIES

Judge William c. Walsh Democratic candidate for Asso
cate Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, born and
reared in this community his father born and
here his grandfather spent his manhood here three
OF them pracced law here and attained enence in the
profession. No word of adverse criticism has been
uttered against their character their ability their fairness
or their integrity For the three generations they have
been not only good and useful citizens but they have
manded the respect and admiration of all who knew them
Judge Walsh has received splendid education holding
both collegiate degree and law school degree, and
since coming to the bar has forged rapidly to the 'front.' and
at the time of his elevation to the bench by appointment of
Governor Rtchie he occupied very prominent position
among us He combines in unusual degree clear know
edge of the law with sound sense and possesses
those characteristics Of and ability which always
mark successful His practice has always been of the
highest character and believe it be ruthfuy said
of him that despite the keen attention which he always gave
to his clients interests he nevertheless has attempted
to take unfair advantage of another lawyer and possesses
the friendship and unqualified good will of lawyer at
the bar regardless of their political affiliations
Judge Walsh while military man in taste or train
ng the first in the city to enlist when the call
volunteers for service on the Mexican border The military
service thus begun private continued during the
World War in this country and in France. We do not urge
this as for voting for Judge Walsh but do think
his record IN this respect should be known.
Judge Walsh is singulary free from entangng alliances
in which older invariably become involved in the
OF long public and he will upon the BENCH if
eected unhampered by such Influences In addition he
has naturally open disposition and while he is far from
open all times to argument and to reason We believe he
would temper justice with mercy, and know that he
would be as approachabe to the humblest citizen he
would be to the most influential citizen of this Circuit
Judge William c. Walsh, with Judge Frank G. Wagaman
conducted the present term of the Circuit Court Aegany
county, and during most fthe Judge Walsh has been
in exclusive charge of the Court here in Cumberland
great variety of covering wide field of law have
been tried before him, and in all of them he has shown
ready familiarity with the points involved and good iudg
ment in determining them One the undersigned
have been in almost constant attendance upon the Court
since the opening of the October Term us
yet heard word of criticism of Judge Washs decisions his
of conducting the business of Court or his de-
meanor the bench On the contrary believe that
every member of the Aegany County Bar will agree that
Judge Walsh is emineny qualified continue in his pres
en position and believe further that the jurors tigans
witnesses and others who have attended Court have been
deeply impressed with Judge Walshs courtesy and ability
and firmly convinced of his qualifications for the Judge
ship. -~a s wmlM
We state these things about Judge Walsh because we
know them to be true He stands out among as
markaby able and honest and who in opinion
is unusually qualified to hold the position of Judge We
therefore unhesitangy recommend him to you whether
you be Republican, Democrat Independent and we urge
you to elect him next Tuesday, knowing that if YOU do an
other able Judge will be added to Maylands already long
list of able juriss.
