The campaign committee of the Bar association, to whom is committed the W. duty of furthering the election of offices to the T. Gunter and T. D. Lewis of City Judges, has issued the following address to the voters: In presenting Walker T. Gunter and Thomas D. Lewis as independent candidates for City Judges, to be voted for by the electors of the city at the coming municipal election, we are constrained to state the reasons which have moved members of the bar, and others uniting with them, to this action. The offices for which these judicial nominations are made were created by a law of the last Legislature, enacted for the express purpose of elevating the administration of justice within the In aid municipality to a higher plane. was court a municipal of such purpose, created and salaries provided for the be Judges thereof sufficiently large toand commensurate with their dignity office is, for importance.

Joe Lippman bet Joel Priest affairs of 70,000 people for three years from the first day of January rext. The necessity for bringing to these high and Important stations lawyers of experience, learning, honesty and ability must be apparent to all. We are assured that all good citizens will agree that none other should aspire to or be permitted to attain these exalted positions. But there is also another qualification, which, in our opinion, is as important as the others. A Judge should come to the judgment seat only through processes of selection which, at least, tend to demonstrate his fitness. His nomination as a candidate may not be secured by personal solicitation and trading in political primaries and conventions without a sacrifice of the very qualities which most adorn the judicial character. In the nature of things, it is impossible for one who is capable of forcing himself Into a judicial office, by personal solicitation and trading combinations, to have the qualifications and character for such station. His conduct demonstrates that he neither knows of nor cares for the higher obligations and responsibilities of the office he seeks. In the selection of candidates for these high offices, both political conventions have conspicuously failed in complying with the obvious and necessary requirements of the situation. The nominations made by each were notoriously' the result of personal solicitation and trading by the successful candidates, none of whom has 'had any experience or developed any capacity at- the bar. It is better to educate men for judges before their selection than it is to elect them first and educate them afterward. The incumbents of these judicial offices must be members of the bar of the Supreme court of the State, and should be also' lawyers and deraign their titles to the office through unpolluted channels. A judge is not expected to carry with him to the bench the political bias or prejudice of his party creed. The political judge is a contemptible creature, who Justly' deserves and soon receives the contempt and execration of the people. There is no reason, then, why a party slogan should be made a rallying cry' in support of Improper judicial nominations, brought about by unworthy means. Unless the office of Judge is a political one, and the candidate therefor Is expected to be a in the administration of his office, there is absolutely' no reason for supporting him, other than his fitness for the office and the clean methods which procured him his nomination. We direct your attention to the fact that it would make no difference with the party managers or press who their candidates were, or how the nominations were brought about. In any event, they are alwayrs for the candidates and the ticket. We appeal to the conscience of the people, and to the hard common sense of its working and business men and women, to unite with us In preventing the election of the nominees of either of the great political and thereby save the fair fame parties, of the city from a stigma and reproach, which time alone Cllll - -w Jm milllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllg IIow many smiles there might be If people only knew nil1 fed better every time Iheir faces smile anew.
