To the Voters of the First Supreme
Judicial District:
The suggestion that I enter the
contest for supreme judge came from
others; the decision to enter was
wholly a decision of my own and I
assume all responsibility in connec
tion therewith.
The ballot is an open forum and I
mrike no apology to any man or set
of men for my entrance into this con
test. I was born in this supreme ju
dicial district, educated in its schools
ind have always lived among the peo
pie whom I now seek to serve. 1
!::.ve been taught and have taught
others that we rise or fall as a re
sult of our own ambition and our own
efforts. If I emerge victorious from
this battle of ballots I shall regard It
as a call to service, if I fail, I shall
remember it as one more effort to ac
complish something worth while.
It was with no little reluctance that
I made my decision to 6ppose my
two good friends, one who had filed
early and the other who I knew would
file later. Waiting for the voluntary
retirement of either gave me but
little hope. Life is too short. If I
am ever to realize my ambition to
srvo upon the supreme court of this
state I want to give that service at
the time in my life when it will be
the very best. However this may be,
my association with these two men
during my four years work upon the
supreme court commission was very
pleasant and we formed warm and
enduring triendships which, I am sure,
will survive this contest.
When I stand as a candidate before
the peop'e I realize that I am sub
mitting myself as a target, but not
without reserving to myself the right
!o explode my own ammunition in the
direction of the opposing forces. I
Jeny the right of any man or men to
claim a monopoly upon any position
within the gift of the people. Even
though my opponents have had a
combined period of occupancy of
somewhere between thirty and for'y
rears upon the supreme bench of this
slate. I yield to neither of them the
right to claim superior qualifications
ithcr in education, experience, ac
tivity or natural adaptation for the
work required.
If I am successful, a splendid op
portunity for service awaits me. i
iiave full faith in the belief that I
an greatly assist in accomplishing
what the litigants and tax payers of
this state are demanding and have A.
right to demand, to-wit: the clearing
of the docket of the supreme court
at its years of accumulated cases.
When this is done litigants will be
ble again to set deserved relief with
in a reasonable time. This will alsa
mean a reduction in expense inci
dent to delays in litigation which has
mused many people to lose confidence
in our courts.
When I say that I will be able to
Tssi.st in clearing the supreme court
docket I am not indulging in any
theory. I helped to do it once before
is the records will show. There is
nothing that has ben so impressed
upon the minds of the people of Ne
brnsk$ cs the truth of the siyir.g that
'Justice delayed is jr.siice denied."
This condition oueht to ba and can
:e changed.
Believing that ISe greatest nna'ifl
satioag for a supreme Judge are, a
oral education and a dlr.-.ositfon id
work, and claiming to ba equipped
irith ''Oi1". I am i pp-'thg to the pao
!e of my r-uive r'ato tor r.i oppor
onity to r.-rv? in tl:!s mos imiwjriar.l
