Nevertheless for t he first time
in my life I find myself speaking
under the auspiees of the li-'pnldi-eali
party on behalf of two uf its
m nd id. iti.. 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.
The mails are heiiiK flooded with

tial cumniittee composed of some
uf the most eminent lawyers of the

unanimously found that the
charges and all of them were abso
lutely unfounded and that Justice

I have never asked, nor have 1
received any favor or special con
