and county affairs should be placed 01 a
business basis and absolutely ! divorced from

so far as our municipal election Is concerned ,
do their own thiking and acting and see to
It that no man Is elected to an office of trust
who would not be trusted In private a/alrs ,
As a republcan I smut not ! fatsfed with the
party lanagemelt of our local government ,
and there arc thouFands of republIcans In
this cIty who will agree with mt that some-
thing Inst be done to brillp about a better
state of things . The citizens' ticket , regardless -
gardles of part , compose of honest and
capable men pledged to reduce expense and
run our et ) ali ] county on a business basis ,
or at least use ordinary economy as busInessmen
men are oblIged to do In their private affairS ,
and who wi consider public office as a
sacred trust and nol 0 prh'ate cusp , was be-
levcl by tH ' , busll f men of Omaba to be

In earnest In a miesire for good overnment
polIticians will haw 10 Manll to one side and

of our own cIty tota ) Mmn elected to office

men whom the very men that voted for them
would not trust with tine management at

Mr leckeH ) states that Judge Scott has hall
the papers In his possessIon for more than
two months , butt that hu wilfully refuses to

Scott for his refusal to sign the paper Is
that he Is too busy , and that there Is no

Decket states that hlB case Is set for hearing
on November G , and that unless the bill 01

fore that time the case will be dismissed and
he wIll be deprived of his right to 10 heard In

for the most undesirable of his cc1gues ! : on
time ticket mud has charge that the only
reason why the citizens' movement did not
support him was because Il now "cinooses
10 le a republican , "
! r , Baxter was . a candidate before the .
Citizens' county cOl'enton , alhongh he hal
rep ] tedIY atatel during his canvass for the '
republican nomlnatol that he would not
IcceJt ( ono rl01 another parly lie made
on urgent request of several parties whom
ho knew would hI delegates to the citizens'
county convenmtlon that tley ! present his name
nnd support him at that conventon , lie
'ecelved ( hut a few votes und since he has
po publicly given his explanaton of this
rtsul th.t' Is nolhllg left but for this
committee to state the notorious tact that
he was rejected by lhat comuvention . not be-
cause he "choose to be a republican , " but
hecaus In the opinion of the great bOlly of
the delegates both Mr. Daxter's polItical
record and his official record have male
him fn InO candidate for the high and 1m.
portant office of county judge.
The first objection 10 1lr , Baxter was that
of his polItical Incon5itency. not 10 say du-
plcity , Unable 10 parate political from
personal . hoaest ) ' , the adherents of the ciii-
7ens' 10"emrnt regarded this as an efcetual
liar to : Ir , Dxter's candidacy at their hanls ,
Two years ago , Mr. Baxter was the uonpar-
tsan candidate for coumuty julge , lie wus
nomlnatld to combat the same elements
against which tine citizenma' 10vemcnt Is now
orra'ed the received that nomination upon
nut least the Impled pledge that In olce he
would continue to oppose ' these 1/Iuences
aul to Ilrolot tine cause to which he owed
his promotion. Throuhout l"ls " canvass he
proressed antipathy to the annie men anll the
same pactces which our 10vement was or-
Ialized : to opPoGe Time advocates of open
,101-seclarl:1 polLtc ! unll I nonpartisan
Judiciary had a right to e"llect much front
: Ir. Baxter , yet he hardly had aBsilmed the
office when he procrcllcd to Identify himself
with his into political opponents and to bid
for a renominaton at their hands One of his
I first official I acts was to retain amid appoint
as his confidential cleric ] the former clerk ! of
hIs repudiated predecessor and the brother
of ono of the moat notorious leaders of the
secret order wl.ose . encroachnHmts he hal
heen elected to resist. When It fell to him to
appoint 0 county commissioner hI appointed
not one who had supported inimut or the movement -
ment for a nonpartisan Judiciary but a leud-
log member of that sale secret order In
South . Omaha. Arid that this appointment
was the resul of a pdllal hargaln Is I
'Ilemonsiratel by that foci that this up-
pointee though . not a membtr of the late re-
publcan county cOI'eltlol was there ag the
most active workEr for 1r , Baxter aud succeeded -
ceeded II holding the South Omaha delega-
ton fur ! r , 1axtN' , In that con\'elton.
which 11rhled itself In nOJlnatn non but
members of the secret order , : Ir. Baxter se-
cured his nomination only aUel' proving
hlmsel ( acceptable to that order anti to the
anl
men whom he hal so vigorously opposed emily ]
two brief years before In his canvass . Ir ) ,
Dater has outstripped almost any or his
' oleagues In protestatIons at loyaly to time
worst clements on his tIcket.
lImit an even more serluns charge , and one
which tine citizens' convention could met have
wel Igunored Is , thaI of Insumclent legal at-
talnmenls. Reputable attorneys and others
having business In tine county court conmm-
plllmd that ( Mr. Baxter was fitted nolther by
tralling nor ability to pan Ipon the Imlol'-
t1nt questions that come before him ; that he
was profoundly wantn In the knowlcde or
the elementary ' prnciples ) of law ; that he
was , deficIent In professional experience , aud
that , as a result , his decisions were more 1(1
the guesses of 0 law student than the reliable
jUllgmfnts of a lrlnel and matur legal
nnni nntl . This Is Indeell I un In sun venabie ob-
jection. Litigants In tine county court can-
not alford to entrust their Interests to In-
compelent hands. The rights of wilows arnnl
orphans anti the dlslrlbuton of valuable es-
tales need adjustment by one who has hal
previous experience.
One of the evils which Judge Baxter was
elected to reform was tine exorbitant fee SI-
tEm of his office , hind to reduce its cost ) to
the public , yet ho hal been installed but n
short time when ho joined with the ot1r
county officials In a conspiracy to Imlnco the
legislature to Increase the already Ihfral' '
emolumcnts of his office , annul to Impose a' '
hen vier expense upon this tax-buruieruetl eom- ,
mnuititf at the ver ) ' time whrn the long suit-
ferlng pUblc was callIng loudest for reduc-
ton minI relrenchment lardly lees ' oxcus-
able has been Judge axler's course In perpetuating -
petuatng and profiting by the pErnicious
practice of collecting and pocketing tine interest .
terest upon lhe funds of estates , Instead of
payIng It over to tine heIrs 10 whom It be-
longs
I ' lnaly , our duty compels us to charge
Mr. Baxter with conduct unbecomIng 0
judge. The standard of judicial One . , which
the Cllzem , ' movement has established , of
Independence and treedom frol political In.
trlgue. man never been attained by Mr liax-
ter his private omce has been the constant
scene ' of political bargains and the headquarters -
ters of poltclana , I Is notorious that during
a considerable portion of his term ho was
actively scheming for his own allpolntment
to 0 vacancy on the district bench and making -
Ing bargains to tha end. Ito even solicited ,
avowedly as a stepping ! stone to other po-
slonl , the office of trustee of the city I.
brary. FInding other olces out of the lues-
ton , ho retured to his perennIal pursuit of
the county judgeship , arid hie canvass for
renumlnaton has been conduct Irecsely ! !
lIke that at a ward politician . No mo\'emlnt
In behal ef a pure Judiciary would be sIn-
cero which tailed to condemn the course of
erne who has thus dragged the Judicial or-
mln' lit the duat.
These are some of the reasons why the clt-
izens' convention rejected the candidacy of
: lr. Daxter-not because he "chose to be
. repumblican. " Instead of him they nominated
. republcan.
,
' J. Points . , of whose qualfcaton" they de-
