BEAUTY QUEENS SALUTE LIEN OF STEEL Utah N VOLUME 73, No; 37 PAYSON, UTAH, THURSDAY, Editorial The right to choose and the act of choosing Utahs higher court judges have passed from the hands of Utahs voters. All but two of Utahs district and Supreme Court s have been filled this election year without a ballot 'being cast for or against the incumbents, without any one of the candidates names appearing on a ballot. Yet when the history of the 1960 election is written and office holders are recorded, the incumbents will be declared elected. The electors of the state, in theory, are entitled to vote in the election of judges. But if incumbent judges run for no one can vote for or against them. Even death of a judge does not insure voters the right to elect a new judge. This is a harsh, but the only accurate description of what has happened since Utah adopted the law providing for election of judges. Voters may better term it the election of judges. In the Third Judicial District of Utah, embracing Salt Lake, Tooele, Daggett and Summit counties, seven judgeships were at stake in the .election, Six of the incumbents declared for Nobody opposed them. Under the law their names did not appear on the ballot and they were declared elected, without the formality even of waiting until Novembers general election. The seventh judgeship was vacated when Martin M. Larson announced his retirement at the end of his current term. Ten attorneys, nine men and a woman, sought the one vacant spot. Conceivably, anyone or all of the ten would be more competent than, or could have defeated, any of the incumbent judges presently serving. But the 10 all sought only the one post vacated by Judge Larson. What gentleman's agreement exists among the stales bar associations and their members forbidding desirous and competent cilisens from opposing an incumbent judge for election? The only other judgeship contested this year in Utah is in the Sixth judicial District, embracing Sevier, Piute, Wayne, Garfield and Kane cunties. Three contestants filed for the seat being vacated by retiring Judge John L. Sevy, Jr. It is safe to assume, following present practice, that had Judge Sevy decided to remain on the bench, he, too, would have no opposition. The Utah Supreme Court provides a further example of the infringement on the right to vote for judges in an election. Supreme Court Justice E. R. Callister was elected to office as the Utah State Attorney General. He was appointed to the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurred upon the death of Justice George Worthen. According to law, Judge Callister had to seek election in his own right during the next general election, which he did this year. Because of the strange courtesy that exists, no one declared himself in opposition. Judge Callister will continue in the states highest judicial office an elective office but his name never will appe on a ballot for consent of the governed. We do not call to question the competency of one of the candidates or judges. But the heart and soul any of election is the voters right to chose their officeholders. Present election of judges makes a mockery of the right to choose, If election of judges by the dtixens be evil or undesirable, the law should be changed to provide for appointment of judges under some new system. judge-ship- non-partis- an way be made by the mayor and city councilmen and representatives of the Uinta Forest Ser Repair Reservoirs A tour of the reservoirs will vice.
