Show attorney N top MAKES STATEMENT in a recent issue ot of the dom box elder journal discussing certain proceedings instituted in the supreme court against judge call relative to what it termed the jones cases the statement is made that the person who prepared the affidavit tiled filed in the supreme court is using this means of 0 defeating judge call and also that he believes he will have a better show in further litigation with attorney law on the bench the journal states there Is no reason to believe those conducting the republication campaign have anything to do with these proceedings and I 1 hope ahone it intended that I 1 should also be included but in order that there way may be no misunderstanding my position in the matter and in particular with reference to the belief that some person will have a better show in further litigation with me on the bench I 1 desire to say I 1 know absolutely nothing about the cases or the controversy with reference to them I 1 had nothing to do with tile the bringing of 0 the matter before the supreme court I 1 express no opinion about the matter at all and cannot for I 1 know nothing of the facts we may I 1 venture to suggest safely leave that to the court and in the meantime I 1 want it distinctly understood that I 1 do not seek and it 1 I 1 know of it will accept no advantage on account ot of tile the action having been brought to do so would be equivalent to prejudicing the case against judge call which would be reprehensible and on the other hand there should be no condemnation dem nation ot of the person who brought the action it is a matter that should he be given no wel weight bt or consideration in favor of or against either judge call or myself As to whether any man will have a better show with me on tile bench I 1 can only say that every man friend or foe white or black rich or poor will get what I 1 believe to be a square deal under the law I 1 have no selfish end or purpose in seeking this position and I 1 am under no obligation to any man mail that will be superior to the duty and obligation to the public As I 1 view it there Is no honor or distinction comes to any man from merely holding public office it is the opportunity port unity it affords one tor for public service and its efficient honest exercise that entitles one to honor and respect ALBERT A LAW |
