Show william m. Mccarty I Candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court j'H Justice McCarty is as sound as the native rock 1H and represents the very best type of Utah's clti- jjl zen body. He Is one of the plain people and came ml up from the ranks step by step to the highest ifl pitch in his chosen profession. From a poor boy ?H he plodded to eminence through his own honest H efforts and high ideals. , H The chief justice was born in Utah county in H 1859. His parents were Irish. They crossed the ' H plains with the pioneers, his mother coming to H Utah in 1849 and his father four years later. The H boy attended the log cabin schools of that early H day and later attended two short terms at the (H Brigham Young Academy. The family afterwards ' H moved to the southern part of the state. ' H Young McCarty read law in an office at Provo H and was admitted to practice in 1887. Two years H later he was appointed to the office of assistant H United States district attorney. In 1892 he was H district attorney in iSevier county. Four years H later when Utah was admitted to statehood he H was elected district judge of the sixth judicial H district. He was re-elected in 1900 and after serv- BP ing two years of his second term he was elevated M by the people to the supreme bench. He has H served two terms as member of Utah's highest H tribunal, and in recognition of his sterling serv- M ices on the bench his party has unanimously H named him for another term. M Justice McCarty, on the bench and in private j IP life, is an honor to his high position, to his party, Bj and to his fellow citizens. M London in defiance of all the lessons of expert- H ence when our country and our corporations owed interest-bearing debts of a far greater amount jH than all the gold money in the world. jH The Orient will never have any war with us jjfl on account of ocean commerce. We successfully iE killed that by legislation. The only danger of war H will be when the great powers of Europe proceed to partition and take in China. M But when Admiral Dewey without the loss of D a man took Manila it was a notice that our flag IH upraised there meant a new civilization in the far east. If that flag is ever lowered until full H civilization is established, it will be a notice that H it wafi a mistake to suppose that we were a H world power. With civilization perfected the Fill H pinos will want no other flag. H |
