Melville Republican Nominee for Judge One of W, Ablest "Attorneys in State r&" .W(.s.'Withthe''general"election but r little more than a week distant those who have the best inter- I ests of the country at heart should give the selection of men . for the various offices careful I-.- consideration. rC The office of judge is one of $ the most, if not the most im- L portant office to be filled. The . welfare of the people, the fair I and equitable adjustment of the X people's rights, the maintain- r. ance of law and order, are in I the harids of the judiciary, and ( it behooves the voter to use his most serious judgement in cast s' ing his vote for a man for this I high office. ; In the honorable J. A. Melville jL the Republicans of this district I .. have a man who, from every possible view, is qualified for (the office and who merits the vote of every Republican voter I in the district. I Mr. Melville is no stranger to most of the people of the dis- 1 trict, having been elected dis- trict attorney in 1904, a posi- tion which he filled in a most creditable manner, and demon s' strating that he stands at the T forefront in the legal profession, j and proving beyond any pos- sibility of doubt his fitness for judicially determining intricate I- questions of law, such as are f constantly arising before the f judges on the district bench. He was born and reared at Fill- ' more, in Millard county, attend- 1 ed the public schools, the State I Normal School, and after finish- !f ing the latter course, entered the University of Michigan law department from which he graduated in 1898 with signal honors. In the same year he was elected prosecuting attorney of Millard county, and so cap ably did he fill the office that s Ir J- he was twice successively reelected. re-elected. Mr. Melville is one of the most progressive citizens of this section sec-tion 'of the state, being interested in several enterprises that are doing a vast amount of de-yelopement de-yelopement in the way of open-in open-in thousands of acres of land to settlement and providing water for is irrigation. A man more completely fitted for the office of district judge is not to be found in all this district, and Republicans should, and all others could with a certainty that their judgment judg-ment would not be misplaced cast their vote for him. |
