Two t.'nisldi-rations. I believe. Justify me in this course. In the first pi tec I believe that the jmlieiary should be above, party ' polities. It is of supreme impor tance that the judye on the helieh know neither Uepuldieans nor 1 eui"ei ats and t he best way of i'iiiMiriliK sueh a situation Is for Hie voter when he easts his ballot for i a .iude to know neither Republi can nor I leiiiocrat. The two men on behalf of whom I now speak are candidate for the judieiary: llotioiabh- John 1.. Hand, present chief jlislie-' of the supreme court of i irej-mi. and a candidate for r--eleetion. and Honorable 0. .M . Thomas, present circuit judtfe of this district, and also a e.utilidatc for re-election. In the f-econd place, in my opin ion, both thee men have been profound faithful, just and honest public servants; both have been bitterly and, I believe, unfairly and unjust ly attacked hy their enemies, and my sense uf fair play does not per mit ine to remain silent.

Jf Judge Thomas ever fell any resentment for what 1 had .lone in the preeecdlng campaign he never showed it by any word or action. I have never asked, nor have 1 received any favor or special con sideration from Jud;;e Thomas, hut 1 have found him a just, a fair, and an impartial judye. anxious nt all times lo decide every question oi law and fact correctly and just ly. He hits alwi.ys le i ll l'".v end willing to hear and consider every argument ami every citation of a in homy that has been presented to him. lie has been patient and painstaking. 1 have never seen a harder worker or a more diligent student on the bench. There is ; not the slightest question Hint ( Judge Thomas s.-rious sickness i which nearly cost him his life, was the result of overwork overwork in his efforts to get to the bottom . of the taw and the facts in the ; eaes pending before him. (Jim Hi h. 1 iichallcnged These qualities of Judge Thom as have not been seriously chiil- , leuged in this campaign. het us , examine briefly the principal charges which have been made j against him. It has been claimed that he was unethical In soliciting i the support of members ftf the bar I in his candidacy for the federal bench, and u letter over the si-Jim- ' t ure of J udgv Tlunuas addressed ( to members of the bar asking j them lu write to the president ami ! to Secretary Me.Nary on his behalf : has been published w it li great ; gusto.

Jud-e Thomas tinned tin whole matter of this investigation, over tu the grand jury and these law yei-. And it is not claimed that he ever interfered with them in any particular. Sonic of the members of the grand jury not being satisfied with the advice which their attorneys gave ilieni. came into court asking .1 udg Thomas certain q tie si ions. Judge Thomas was reluctant tu humiliate the lawyers whom he h oi already appointed to advise the grand jury, hut nevertheless told them thut If they saw fit tit pioced in n legal manner, voting a formal presentment and bringing t il into ..mi l, he would answer , their questions! ' The grand jury . retired and ihe majority of them rcui.-cd to voje lu bring: in a for mal pi esentmeni and, that is all there is to the whole Jiiattem Aclh ii Uljrht Judge Thomas' action In resp. ei lo (his matter was right and was Ho- only lawful course he could have pursued. It was his duty to be impartial. . He was not a prose cuting officer, but a judge.

I can only say this - - every t hing 1 have seen a 'id everything I have heard in the past ;six years convinces me Hint Judge i Thomas is anxious tn win ami' de . rc the respect of the enlire bar ;and of the wind.- public ami that ; to this end he has honestly en- dcavored to perform the duties of this high olfb-e fairly, honestly, and MCl -id He - at Hi.ki. ef Mall, ilb'C lllil 1 W Inch hi viugbl - today. hint tu I i. it.b.-hnes daughter i l hi I Wi be .un all ov them. lbug M.in in his holdui "tn og bi.- in a ny the c these mhh nt 1 1 dui in r Aeeks ..I hi letter-: unti y National Trust .!.- lured 1 Ibe hi.- The llllle . n ,M . r.it-U l..
