C. S. Wortman
Announces for District Judge

TO THE PEOPLE OF SARPY, CASS AND OTOE COUNTIES:
I want to be your next District Judge. My name will be
on the Non-Political Ballot at the Primary Election April 14th, 1936.
The assistance of friend3, new friends as well as old friends, will
be greatly appreciated. If elected, I shall bring to the bench my
most unselfish devotion.
Residence - Experience:
My residence is not now at Plattsmouth. J reside on a
farm near South Bend, Cass county, where I was born and where
a major part of my life has been lived. I ask your consideration on
the basis of whatever merits are mine consideration based upon
my qualifications and twenty-five years at the bar, with experience
of having served as Prosecuting Attorney and County Judge.
A Free and Untrammeled Judge:
C. S. Wortman announces on hi3 own responsibility. He
believes that candidates should not be unduly groomed to run by
influential judge makers, if any there be, who would care, or dare,
to be the power behind the throne. In other words, judges should
be free and untrammeled under special obligations to no person or
corporation. The "Remember thou thy creator" ought never to
pollute the Judicial Ermine. If this sounds like debunking the sham,
sometimes indulged in, of manufacturing sentiment for servile pet
candidates, there is no apology. Every tub should stand on its own
bottom. I mean and accent simply this: Unless I can win without
the impairment of one jot of title of judicial independence, I do not
want the office. If I am elected to the bench from which death re
moved Judge Begley, there will be no favoritism. "Equal justice to
all special privileges to none."
Duties and Responsibilities:
Before election, I hope to address as many of you a3 pos
sible, submitting myself to questions, and explaining, as I see them,
the duties and responsibilities of a District Judge. A Judge should
abstain from being involved in any way in controversial issues
which tend to prejudice his mind as to matters which might reach
his court. I am sure no aspirant holds ideals superior to my own
as to how a District Judge should conduct himself. I shall be cour
teous and impartial in all matters or actions. In my court jury
verdicts shall be respected. Further than that, in criminal trials,
after jury verdicts of guilty in such charges as Child-Abuse, Bank
Robbery and other crimes of violence, there will be severe-penalties
pronounced. In such cases, the sentence of my court will forever
impress that type of criminal that "The way of the transgressor
is hard."
Ascertain Ability of Candidates:
A lawyer's ability i3 ascertained in the court room. His
reputation is based upon the sober observation of clients, court offi
cials and impartial onlookers. I have tried cases in both State and
Federal courts. A few, but comparatively only a few, have been
criminal cases. However, few voters actually attend court trials
where lawyers win or lose. For the benefit of voters I may not be
able to meet before election day, I hereby refer to three quite recent
prosecutions defended by me. I hav not selected these cases because
of the result of the verdict, nor because they happen to be criminal
cases. They are selected because each trial excited newspaper pub
licity. Therefore, you may, by inquiry, verify whether or not the
jury verdicts were justly merited by my faithful advocacy. The
first case named was a charge of Felonious Assault, styled State vs.
Glen Mead, tried in Nebraska City in 1932 before Judge Begley
(who died in 1934); the next was a charge of Murder, styled State
vs. Jack Woods, tried in Wahoo in 1933 before Judge L. S. Hastings;
and the third was a charge of Kidnaping, styled State vs. Gilbert
Burks, tried in Plattsmouth in 1934 before the incumbent judge.
You are invited especially to inquire of the several County Attorneys
who opposed me in each case, or cf the two trial judges now living,
or of any of the witnesses on both side3, or of the numerous impar
tial observers who attended those trials. Or, inquire of impartial
observers of any other trials or services. Let them tell you whether
or not they believe C. S. Wortman possesses the requirements a law
yer should possess as qualifications for a competent District Judge.
My Personal Views:
The selection of a District Judge is fixed by law upon a
high plane, and should be kept there. My personal views are that
a District Judge should know enough to know that the law is "a
jealous mistress" that HE MUST STUDY TO THE, END OF HIS
CAREER. He should know enough to know that he must keep him
self familiar with the Judicial precedents of the higher courts. In

the temple of justice, those who come from the humble huts of the
pcor, and these who come from the regal residence of the rich have
exactly the same rights. His heart must be sound his sympathies
broad. He should be imbued with that immortal truth: "As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he." At this particular time a Judge
should also have a genuine understanding of, and a familiar sym
pathy with, the plight of agriculture. If I become your District
Judge, the obscure bread winner and the prominent banker, will, in
my court, be treated exactly alike.
Conclusion :
The foregoing merely summarizes my views. However
imperfectly it tells you about myself and my qualifications, I ask
you to consider it all in connection with whatever my neighbors
and others who have known me since childhood days may say of me.
I want your votes. And I want you to know that I shall try to be
worthy of them. If by your votes you place in my hands a commis
sion as your District Judge for the next four years, I pledge you
that I shall, at the expiration of my term, hand back to you that
same commission, unsullied and untarnished by any ignoble act
of mine. '
Respectfully,
C. S. WORTMAN.

Finds Corn Very Goo a
William Rue tor, having great faith
in the corn which he grew during
the past season, picked out a gener
ous quantity for seed and made some
very thorough tests of the same to
make sure it would grow when the
time comes for planting. The first
test showed 91 per cent germination,
whereupon he checked it over a sec
ond time, picking out only the very
best and has made another test
planting. Taking a peep in the box
last week, he found it filled with
tiny sprouts but will not know the
exact per cent until he has given
the entire planting ample time to
come up. He thinks this time, it will
grade very near perfect.
