Attacking the pri-uiary pri-uiary edition as a means of selecting nominees for the judiciary and flaying I lose who have started the propaganda that the courts should not have the power to declare an act of the legis-lative legis-lative branch of the government unconstitutional, un-constitutional, former United States senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas delivered de-livered the annual address to the American Bar association before 5 000 persons in the Tabernacle Tuesdav night. The former senator from Texas up held the elective system in the selection selec-tion of judges as against the appointive appoin-tive system, but stated that to place men who were candidates for judicial judi-cial office in primaries to fight for nominations was dragging the judiciary judi-ciary of the nation into politics and that if the people wanted judges to be above politics they must be alive to the dangers of the system which has been advocated in many of the states. His plea for a conservative govern ment based upon the constitution as it was drawn by its framers elicited much applause and at the close of his .address he was tendered an ovation. |
