fore he was to charge the
Democratic Party with "20 years
of treason"
In 1899, he won a nom
partisan election for circuit judge
for Shawano, Outagamie and
Langlade Counties. His most
publicized action as Judge
brought him a sharp rebuke
from the State Supreme Court
in 1941. This involved a case
in which the State Department
of Agriculture sought action to
force an Appleton dairy to obey
the State milk marketing law.
The law was not to expire
until December 81. 1941. After
several postponements, Judge
Mccarthy dismissed the case in
June 1941. On appeal, the
Supreme Court ruled:
I'VE are cited no authority
and we find none which juStifieS
a court in suspending the opera
ton of statute on the ground
! that it will work a hardship if
enforced. It must be concluded
that the grounds upon which
the trial court acted did not con-
stitute a sufficient or proper
legal reason therefore and that
this action constituted an abuse
of judicial power"
The high court also found that
Judge Mccarthy had ordered the
destruction of part of the records
in the case (his dismissal state
ment) and called this highly
improper"
However, in his four years as
judge. Senator Mccarthy had a
relatively low percentage of re-
versals and was generally re-
garded as good judge, who
despite his youth Che started at
29) showed a quick grasp of the
fundamentals of a case.
But, frequently, Joe could be
vindictive and unfair if he didn't
like you," said one attorney. HE
did this very subtly so it wouldn't
appear on the record. He could
do it with his tone of voice or
manner or one sharp. crucial
question put to a witness"
Another attorney told me:
Personally, I never found Joe
vindictive. He had a weakness
for making cracks from the
bench, but they were generally
harmless"
+ Joined Marine Corps.
After Pearl Harbor. Senator
Mccarthy began thinking of en-
tering military service. His
friend. John Riedl. recalls a con-
versation they had in the spring
of 1912:
That's when he was still on
the bench and debating whether
to join the Marine Corps. He
wondered whether military serv-
ice would hurt his, political
future. Even then, his sights
were high"
Senator Mccarthy was then 80
and a bachelor. AS a judge, he
might have been deferred. In
stead, he took leave of absence,
waived his salary and Joined the
Marines. AS a lieutenant and
later captain, he served 80
months, about half of them as
an air intelligence officer in the
New Hebrides. Guadalcanal,
Munda, Bougainville and other
Pacific islands. He also flew a
number of missions in tail gun
ner's seat. He won praise from
his superior officers.
In all, it shaped up as good
service record and not the type
to excite later debate. But it
did, mostly because stories were
spread during his unsuccessful
bid for the Senate in 1914 that
he had been wounded in combat.

and Twins life be spared.
The five-man Florida State

in denying the request.
Now, after five years of legal
