omcial paper Of Marshall County.

One Of the most important offices
to be filled at the coming election and
enc that concerns the safety and we'll
1eing of the community more, perhaps,
than any other Office is that Of Judge
of District Court for the 14th Judi
sial District. Judge Watts of Crooks
ton and Judge Grindeland of Warren
are the two Judges Of the district and
both are candidates for. reelection.
They are both men of high character
and ability and we believe the con
sensus of public opinion is that they
should be given another term.
Elsewhere in this paper we publish
the nearly unanimous endorsement Of
Judges Grindeland< and Watts by the
lawyers Of the district and this should
eount for much with the voters. It
shows that the men who practice be-
fore them believe in their fairness and
uprightness in dealing with litigants
and cam rely upon their knowledge
and understanding of the law. The
judicial decisions Of both these judges
have stood the test of the Supreme
Court as well as those Of any, other
district judges, and have, in fact sell
dom been reversed. II s. a,E:@s.@
BY custom and precedence men who
hold the high office of judges are not
supposed to join in the wild scramble
for Office They are not supposed to
make any political speeches and
Judges Watts and Grindeland have re-
Trained from doing so while they have
been on the bench. In order to be
reelected, therefore, they must rely
ON the efforts Of their friends and
the good will of the voters. 1t. was
the intention of the trainers Of our
constitution to remove the judges as
far as possible from all political bias
and economic considerations by giving
Them long terms and adequate salaries.
United States Supreme Court judges
are appointed for life, and can only
be removed for high crimes and mis-
demeanors," or voluntarily retire at
the age of 70. d"
Judges Watts. and Grindeland have
proved themselves fearless, impartial
and upright in the administration Of
Justice. They stand for the highest
ideals Of American government and
We believe the law-abiding people Of
Marshall county and Of all the other
counties in the district will re-elect
them by practically a unanimous vote.
What crowd is opposing the re-elec-
ton of these judges? To a large ex-
tent it is made up Of those who have
hclt the strong arm Of the law in one
way or another. There are, even in
our good communities, those who re-
bel against law and order, especially
the enforcement Of the liquor laws.
Is there a father or mother in Mar
shall county, or the other counties Of
the district, who will vote against
Judges Grindeland or Watts because
they have tried to enforce the law
against those who would sell their boy
the deadly "moonshine?" We hope
not The ideals of American citizen
ship as represented by Judges Watts
and Grindeland must surely be worth
more to the law and order people Of
Marshall county, and the other coun-
hes Of this judicial district, than the
election Of candidates solely for the
reason that they are on the ticket.
Two judges are to be elected. Grinde
land and Watts deserve your vote. =
