Full Coverage tor flail - NO S'1,', MINIMUM LOSS elect HARRY G. SPENCER To the voters of Harney and Malheur Counties: I am a candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court for Harney and Malheur Counties in a nonpartisan contest to be decided at the primary election on Tuesday, May 26. The last six years of my 20 years of legal practice and ex perience have been in Eastern Oregon. They have been full and productive in terms of the enjoyment of the environment with which this area is blessed. I am compelled to seek this judicial office because of the following personal convictions: 1 - Each lawsuit is important to the individual involved. Its disposition may affect the course of his entire life. Therefore, members of the bench and bar must be deeply concerned that each litigant be given a full and fair hearing and that individual rights be fully protected. This cannot be done if lawyers and judges give greater consideration to their own convenience than to that of litigants for whom, after all, our judicial system has been created 2 - Many jurors and witnesses participate in court proceed ings. not necessarily from choice but because they are required to do so. Once called, however, they serve conscientiously and often at substantial personal sacrifice and inconvenience. Their services should be highly valued by the courts as essential to a fair and objective judicial process. They shouldbe shown the consideration and respect due to all responsible, adult human beings. Their abilities to function in their service should not be impaired by a tense atmosphere of needless fear or nervous apprehension. 3 - It is a judge’s duty to maintain the decorum of the court - not to contribute to its disruption. Respect for the law and its processes must be generated - not diminished by the in temperate castigation of those who mav. innocenUv-r * incur judicial displeasure. These convictions are consistent with my beliefs that justice must be administered with firmness and certainty, and that observance and enforcement of the law, as well as the codes of conscience, are essential to societal preservation. The Oregon Supreme Court has stated that judges should observe the following canons of judicial conduct: "He should be temperate, attentive, patient, impartial,***. •He should be courteous to counsel, *** and also to all others appearing or concerned in the administration of justice in the court. •*♦* he should bear in mind that his undue interference, impatience or participation in the examination of witnesses, or a severe attitude on his part toward witnesses *♦* may tend to prevent the proper presentation of the cause, or the ascertainment of the truth in relation thereto. • *** In addressing counsel, litigants or witnesses, he should avoid a controversial manner or tone.’ The name of only the one candidate receiving a majority of the votes cast for this position on May 26 will be printed on the general election ballot in November. There will be no runoff election between the two candidates. As a practical matter, therefore, THE WINNER OF THIS CONTEST ON MAY 26 WILL BE YOUR CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE FOR THE SIX- YEAR TERM ENDING JANUARY 3, 1977. I will appreciate your voting for me on Tuesday, May 26. Sincerely, Harry G. Spencer Paid Political Advertisement, SPENCER FOR JUDGE COM MITTEE -Dr. Robert Fulton, Chairman - 361 N.
