with its docket and attributes
this to the long vacations taken
by the court and the slovness
with which it acts when in ses-
sion.
Before undertaking to exam
inc Mr.. Phelps complaint the
fact should be noted that Judge
McC Candless and not Mr.. Phelps
should be elected in this district.
It does not matter so much that
Judge McCandless is a Demo
crat, for positions upon the
Court of Appeals should not be
filled for strictly political rea-
sons. But Judge McCandless is
now a Circuit Judge and has
done well in that Office, particu.
larly in the matter of keeping up
his docket. Mr.. Phelps has, so
far as we are informed, had no
judicial experience and his activ-
tiles have been largely political.
The weight of the argument in
this contest is strongly in favor
of Judge ;McCandless. an >.. .
With this out of the way let US
come to the criticism, Mr.. Phelps
offers of our Court Of Appeals.
The point made. relative to the
long vacations is not weighty.
1t is to aabe = assumed that the
Judges of the Court of Appeals
put insthe timestwhen the court
is not in session considering the
cases before them. They can
easily find plenty to do, for the
court is much more thana year
behind and is falling back. Nor
can we subscribe to q theory
that the court is too slow in act
ing when ii session. No one
should voice such a criticism
without knowing all the facts.
It is much better for the Judges
to take their time in considering
doubtful cases than it would be
for them to hurry through with
out being sure that justice is be-
ing done. a.
So much we will say in defense
of the Court of Appeals. Mr..
Phelps points are overruled.-
An Extract from an editorial in
Thursdays Evening Post.
The Adair County news., 1922-09-05

If there are Democrats in this
Appellate district who are saying
that there is no doubt but Judge
McCandless will be elected, they
should stop making such asser-
tions and 60 to work to secure
votes. There is not a doubt in
our mind but the race is very
uncertain, and that it will take
a united action to elect Judge
McCandless. The district is
very close politically and it has
gone Republican more than once.
Besides, Mr.. Phelps is in favor
with his party and will poll it's
full strength, and there are some
Democrats who will vote for
him. Judge McCandless will have
to poll a number of Republicans,
and doubtless. he will, but every
vote that he and his friends can
secure will be needed. We are
writing this for the benefit of
Democrats who are deeply inter-
ested in the Judges race, and it
will not do for them to say our
candidate will be elected-no use
to work, the Democrats will all
be at the polls. In Ben John
mons Congressional district there
are several counties in the
Appellate district. Be.
fore Phelps was nominated Mr..
johnson had opposition in the
person of a popular Republican.
What has he done? He has
withdrawn from the race for
no other purpose but to keep
Democrats who are in the Ap-
pelIate district from going to the
polls. Judge McCandless should
canvass every county in this APP
pellate district, and the sooner he
starts the better.
