Of tho two, tho former In HHH tho most Important to the fit 3 to. HHH A Judge of tho Supremo court Is one HHH of tlireo men to whom ns II in I nrbl- HHH tors must como nil legal questions. HHH They arc tho II in I Interpreters of tho HHH law, as well n& tho sworn defenders of HHH tho constitution of the commonwealth HHH The mnn who occupies this position HHH should be ono of sound Judgment nnd HHH unspotted Integrity, as well ns a law- HHH ycr of tho profoundest learning. Ho HHH should be n man who In his position HHH Is superior to all partisanship; In a HHH word, n mnn who Is tho greatest of all, HHH an upright Judge. HHH Two names havo so far been prom I- HHH nontlv mentioned for tho supremo HHH Judgshlu. Those nro Judgo Morse of HHH tho Third Judicial 'district bench nnd HHH Judgo Krlck, tho senior member of tho HHH law firm of Krlck & Edwards of Snlt HHH tako City. Doth of these gentlemen HHh nro men who would lend honor to the HHH position, noth nro lawyers of pro- HHH round learning, both nro of the Judl- HHH clal turn of mind, both are grnnd HHH specimens of Amcrlcnn " citizenship, HHH both are men of rlpo Judgment HHH Either of them would make n superb HHh Justice of the Supremo court. Judge HHH Morso has still two vears of his term HHH on tb district bench to fill out, and HHH though his friends urge him for tho HHH higher position, there Is not wanting HHH mnnv who urgo that his place Is on HHfl tho bench to which ho was elected. HHI Ho has filled tho position with credit HHI to himself nnd to tho state, and HHI though his plnco no doubt could bo HHfl filled, vet ns was .said before?, many HHJ would like him to complete his term. HHfl As for Judgo Frlclc, thcro Is no nues- HHfl -tlon as to his qualification for tho HHfl position. Ho Is a mnn In tho full power of llfo, with ago enough to rlpon his Judgment. Tho Republican party would mako no mistake by making mak-ing him Its candidate. Ho also Is a stalwart Republican, and richly deserves de-serves tho honor of tho nomination. Ho Is a Republican of no faction a man that every wing of the pasty could support without causing any bickerings or strife. Ho Is superior to any ring and Is not nor cannot be made amenable to any machine. Both gontlemcn mentioned aro personally per-sonally safe men, as wns said before. Hoth would mako superb Supremo Judgos. Barring tho fact that Judgo Morso already has n position In which ho Is needed, a choice would be hard to make. |
