ant issue before the voters was the election of a Chief
Justice. He urged the people to support c, 4
SORENSEN for that office.
His Statement follows:
"The most important issue before the voters of
Nebraska in the coming election is the selection OF a
Chief Justice on the Supreme Court of our state.
"There should be no politics involved in the solu-
ton of this question.

feel keenly, however, what a proper judicial system
means to the future happiness and comfort of our
people. One good way to decide between aspirants
for judicial position is to ascertain what kind of
clients the candidate has had in his legal practice.
If he has in the main represented monopolies,
trusts or selfish interests seeking to get some tech
nical and unfair advantage, he is very apt to have
the viewpoint of monopoly and greed. He overlooks
the rights of the lowly and those who toll. On the
other hand, the poor mans lawyer, like the great
Brandeis, by his association with the common people
will be impressed with the necessary protection of
the liberties and rights of honest citizens struggling
in an unequal contest with great combinations of
wealth and special privilege.
Measured by this criterion, c.. A, SORENSEN
would get practically every vote in the coming elect
ion. His election to the high office of Chief Justice
would help to keep our highest court on a pedestal of
ability, honor and integrity, above the influence of
party machines and beyond the control of selfish in
t%erests.
