having faithfully discharged the trust.
he -will not object to an examination of
the record he has iivide. Upon this rec-
ord he invites his fellow citizens to
judge him and by it he must stand or
fall.
L. R. Webster, judge of the First ju
dicial district of Oregon, is it candidate
upon the Republican tictet tor the high
and responsible position of attorney gen
eral. The people of this state are en
titled to know whether as a lawyer he is
qu.'ilified to become the legal adviser of
this great commonwealth. We have no
better or other source from which to ob
tain this information than from the rec
ord he has made for hinisolf, and to a
very brief glance at this record the
reader is invited.
Toward the close of the year 1883 the
office of district judge of the First
judicial district became vacant by the
resignation of Hon. H. K. Haima, who
was then the able incumbent. A Re
publican governor then presided over
the state, and no available Republican
lawyer was found willing to accept the
position. L. R. Webster, Esq.. was at
that time clerking in oue of the dry
goods houses at Jacksonville. He
claimed to have studied law and had
just been admitted to the bar. He was
a young man of pleasant manner, reason
ably good education, poor inpnr.se, mar
ried and ambitious. The people of
Jackson county thought of him as a
worthy subject and recommended him
for the place. The governor made the
appointment, and though very young
and without experience in the law, he
began the tasks imposed with commend
able zeal and appropriate modesty. For
a time the good people of this district
felt that thty had bestowud this great
honor upon a worthy person and were
inclined to view his mistakes with com
plaicency, feeling that time wotild fill
out his qualification by that experience
which must make up the finishing part
of every man's education.
In tliis, however, the peopla were to
be sorely disappointed as the sequel will
show. At the first general election he
was elected to fill the unexpired term of
two years, at the end of which being
still on probation, he was again nomina
ted and elected because of the weakness
of his opponent and the good natnred
indulgence of the public to whom, up to
this time he had displayed a reasonable
sense of that chiefest of all virtues, grat
itude. After this election he settled
himself back in his judicial seat with an
air that bespoke a sense of security for
the coming six yeivrs and gave growing
evidence of a forjetfuJness of the lowly
Btation from whi-ch he had. been lifted
:ina tne moment patience or tneius to
whom he owed his good fortune.
He soon discarded those little virtues
that had attracted friends to him, and
apparently with premeditation with
drew himself from the kind offices and
recognition of those who so aided him
In the days of his need. A stiff bow and
an air of superiority usurped the place
where was before a frank and hearty
salutation. His friends have with vexa
tion often remarked this foolish young
man's unmistakable notion that all be
low him are of "the common herd" and
that he views them from a lofty station.
This is no picture for campaign purposes
but a truth that can be vouched for by
two-thirds of the people of Jackson
county, who as American citizens re
gardless of party will rebuKe sucn as
sumption by an exercise of their sover
eign wills at the ballot box.
Such conduct will suggest to any taunt
ing person an intellectual shallowness
inconsistent with the idea of a sound
and lofty legal mind, and the record will
verify this conclusion. To prove this a
reference to the Oregon supreme court
reports shows that since Judge Webster
has been on the bench in this district,
out of fifty-four cases decided by
him and appealed to tho supreme court,
twenty-three have been reversed, five
modified and twenty-six affirmed. Less
than one-half of his cases have iieen al
firmed. "vS
No comment is needed. No lawyoi-
who is mistaken more than half his time
is a fit person to be the legal adviser of
a whole state.
But this is not all. The complaint 18
almost universal among the people of
this county, regardless of party, that
his administration as circuit judge has
entailed a large and useless expense, as
the records will also show.
The records show that for the fiscal
year ending July, 1885, the cost of run
ning the circuit court in Jackson county
alone, exclusive of the sheriff's and
clerk's fees for the same time was twelve
thousand two hundred and twenty dol
lars and sixty-six cents ($12,220.60); the
clerk's fees incurred in circuit court
business for the same time was $831.55,
and the sheriff's fees about the same,
making a total of about $14,000 for that
one year alone. The next year it reached
over $7,000, the next about $7,000 and
the following year it approximated $6,-
000, making a sum total of $28,000; and
this does not include the salary of $3,000
a year paid by the state to the judge.
As near as can be obtained from the
record the aggregate cost of the same
court for the past four years not includ
ing the judge's salary has been approxi
mately $18,000, an average of four
thousand dollars a year, Assuming $4,
000 to be a reasonable average cost per
year, we have the modest sum of $12,000
paid by Jackson county alone ror tne
privilege of educating this promising
young man to that standard of legal
ability that has enabled mm to get
almost one-half of his cases affirmed by
the supreme court and to make him
eligible for the new and Important trust

time Judge Webster's jurisdiction has
extended over three other counties
which it may be reasonably inferred
have suffered from like causes.
Aside from the expenses above re
ferred to. and which sound in taxes
upon the people, a still heavier ex-1
pense has been incurred by litigants
in civil suits and actions arising from
unnecessary delays that could and !
would have been avoided by an expedi
tious judge. It is a well known fact
that the court in Jackson county grinds
with an exasperating slowness and that
cases argued and taken under advise
ment are sometimes held until forgot
ten, and it is confidently believed that
many reversals might have been avoided
if prompt decision of these cases had
been given while arguments and cita
tions were fresh in the minds of the
court. The number of judicial days of the
court for Jackson county from and in
clusive of 1886 to the present time were
41)6, or eighty-two and a fraction of
days for each year, and the average
number of hours during which the court
was in session would not exceed five
hours each day, while weary litigants,
whose rounds of duties at home demand
their attention, are kept with an array
of witnesses, day after day, with all the
consequent expense and loss to farm and
business hanging upon the sweet will
and pleasure of this man who has grown
so great upon their gift, who has forgot

him a little higher in June next. It is
hardly to be doubted that they will re

Will the people of this state think it

high a position requiring the highest

Judge Webster is not the choice of
the Republican party of southern Ore

behalf at the state convention where he
was nominated are not indorsed by one-
half of the Republicans of Jackson coun

Voters, it is your duty as self respect-j

polls on June 6 and cast a ballot against
Lionel R. Webster. Relegate him to
the obscurity he deserves.
