Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-10-17

Brigadier General Dawes, who
spent his time sixty miles away from
the firing line while fighting for De-
mocracy in France, and "Bill" Bry-
ans brother also received attention
and got a good dressing down.
Regarding La Toilette, he was a
man who needed no blatant platform,
his whole public life for the past
forty years proved him to be the
champion and defender of the people
always and everywhere. He could
and should be elected. Cleveland
would give him $4,000 plurality; if
southern Ohio would do one-fourth as
well he would carry Ohio.
Nicholas Klein, the Cincinnati law
yer who will be elected as short term
supreme judge of Ohio, spoke briefly,
explaining why he desired the office
for which he was defeated at the last
election by less than one hundred
votes.
"The law is sacred, justice is sa-
cred, but judges are not" said Mr..
Klein. "If there is any question in
the minds of the people that law is
sacred and that justice is sacred, it
is account of the tyrannical conduct
of some judges.
"They set themselves up as petty
tyrants, welding the power of the
writ of injunction indiscriminately
and sending arbitrarily to Jail,
without the right of trial by jury,
those who, in their opinion offend
them.
thus they either create resent
ment or cause men. to ridicule at their
absurd assumption of tyrannical au-
thority. Respect for law and Justice
are diminished when men either laugh
or become indignant at representa-
tives of the law. What is a judge ?"
he asked, and answered.: "a Judge
generally is lawyer who has had
sufficient "drag" with certain poll
ticians to be nominated for office.
Before he took office he was an
ordinary human being. After he took
office he was still the ordinary hu-
man being, but in many instances he
gets the notion that being elected
judge has made him a god-like crea-
ture.
acting on that assumption, he ac-
quires the manners of a despot. To
question his wisdom is to land in
Jail. He undertakes to restrain men
from doing the most peaceable acts
in the furtherance of their right to
strike for better working conditions
and wages. No living monarch to-
day possesses the authority that is
exercised by some of our judges.
81 am running for this office to
make a demonstration against "gov-
ernment by injunction" "Short as
my term will be, intend to devote
every moment of it to the task OIL
bringing to the people of our state
an understanding of the outrage that
inheres in the use of the injunction in
labor disputes.
81 shall take the opportunity of
making statewide attack on the
whole system of government by in
junction and my words will not soon
be forgotten by judges.
81 am a candidate for an opportun-
ity to serve the people of Ohio in a
way that they have never been served
before"
Every working man and woman
should vote for Nicholas Klein He
will spare no efforts to see that Labor
gets square deal at all times.
At the close of the meeting Mr..
Cochran stated that another rally
would be held in the near future, at
which time prominent speakers would
be present, and urged all to attend
He also announced that the La Fol
lette Club held meetings in Trades
Assembly hall every Saturday evening
and that everybody was welcome.
