JUDGE JOHr' B. BARNES
Member of Nebraska Supreme Court
and Republican Candidate for
Re-election.
Judge John H. Barnes, of Norfolk,
Judge of the Supreme Court of Ne
braska, and present nctlng chief jus
tice of the court, has been selected
by the lepubllcun voters of the state
as one of the candidates of the re
publican party for re-election to the
place on the supreme bench which
he has so ably and honorably filled
tor the past term of six years.
Judge John B. Barnes Is a native
of Ohio a veteran of the Civil War
and a citizen of Nebraska since 1871,
when he located In Dixon county and
was admitted to the bar in I $73, en
gaging in tho practice of law, to
which he has since given his entire
attention.
In 1875 Judge Barnes was elected
district attorney of the Sixth Judicial
district, was re-elected and served
until appointed judge of tho district
to fill a vacancy caused by the elec
tion of Judge Valentine to Congress,
was re-elected for a full term and
later declined renominatlon to enter
upon the practice of his profession.
Judge Barnes was appointed Su
preme Court Commissioner in Janu
ary, 1902, serving as commissioner
until hU election as a member of
the court in 1903, since which date
his service as a member of the
court has been continuous. He la
now approaching the completion of
the six-year term to which he was
elected in 1903, and holds the honor
able position of acting chief Justice
of Nebraska in the absence of Judge
M. B. ReeHe.
Judge Barnes' splendid record as
lawyer and Jurist has gained for him
the confidence and approval of the
people of the slate. This la well evi
denced by the general support given
Judge Barnes' candidacy for supreme
Judge at tho recent state-wide
primary flection.
FOR regents of the State Uul
versiiy the republican party
has nominated three of the
prominent citizens of the state best
equipped to perform the duties that
fall to the board in charge of tho
state's moat important institution of
learning.
Charles S. Allen of Lincoln, Wil
liam (J. VhItmore- of Valley and
Frank L. Haller of Omaha, the re
publican candidates for regents, con
stitute a trio of citizens who will
bring to the work they undertake al
most ideal qualifications for Its per
formance. Neither of these men
were or are candidates in tho sense
of personally seeking for the honor
conferred by membership on tho di
recting board of the University. Each
is a candidate in response alone to
the insistent demands of many who
know well their exceptional fitness
for the duties involved and who have
closo at heart the best and broadest
Interests of tho University.
THERE la one overwhelming reason why the Republican party can successfully appeal to all the peo
ple for Btipport at the ballot-box for the candidates of tho Republican party. It is this The Repub
lican party bus given tho state Responsible, Effective. Economical und Intelligent Government in
every department. Executive, legislative and Judicial, whenever entrusted with authority by the people
The record is before the people and it is a good record. You can trust tho Party which has proven true and
responsible in every test. On that record the party asks the support of the voters of Nebraska for its
candidates for the Supremo Court. Judges Barnes, Fuwcett and Sedgwick, all of whom have served on
tho Supreme bench with ability, honor and fidelity to the interests of the people and asks also for the
approval of its candidates for Regents of tho University, Messrs. Chas.S. Allen, W. O. Whitmore and F L
Haller, tho first two of whom have served with distinguished ability aud usefulness on the Board of Re
gents for nearly six years past, tho last named an able, prominent and Belt-made business man of the state
who has long given much attention to tho University School of Agriculture. The candidates of the repub
lican parly havo responded to every test of citizenship every test of officlul duty. The party they represent
as candidates in the coining election has proven true to tho people in every emergency. On thin broad
foundation of performance of duty well discharged, tho republican party asks for Its candidates the con
fidence and support of tho voters of Nebraska.
JUDGE JAC03 FAWCETT.
Member of Nebraska 3upreme Court
and Republican Candidate for
Re-election.
Judge Jacob Kawcett, of Omaha,

at Galena, Illinois, In 1873. Judge
Fawcett was appointed county judge
of Jo Davles county, Illinois, by Gov
ernor OgleBby, and was elected to
the office at the expiration of the
term for which he was appointed.
He resigned tho office the following
year and removed to Omaha and
was selected as one of the lecturers
In the College of Law in the Nebras
ka State University. In 1895 Judge
Fawcett was elected a Judge of tho
district court of the Omaha district
and was re-elected In 1899, serving
eight years on the district bench of
Douglas county. He returned to the
practice of law In Omaha In the
spring of 1904, continuing" In prac
tice until appointed supreme court
commissioner in October, 1907. Judge
Fawcett continued on tho supreme
court commission" until the adoption
of the constitutional amendment en
larging the supreme court at tho last
general election, when ho was ap
pointed a judge of the supreme court,
to servo until the general election of
this year. Ho Is now completing the
term of one year for which ho was
appointed.
judge Fawcett's long period of
service on tho bench, eight years as
judgo of the diKtrlct court of Doug
las county, more than a year as a
Commissioner of the Supreme Court
and the past year as a member of
that court, has eminently fitted him
for tho distinguished servico of a
full term on the supreme) bench for
which he Is the nominee of tho Re
publican party.
Messrs. Allen and Whitmore are
both completing a term of six years'
servico on tho Board of Regents, a
term of service which has redounded
to their persona! honor and credit In
the same full degree that It-has been
of exceptional value to the growth
and prosperity of the University.
Those who know best tho present
and future needs of the University
are the most Insistent that their ser
vice bo not Interrupted, but be con
tinued to the great and InsMng bene
fit of the institution. In this lies the
highest praise, the highest of per
sonal compliments.
Mr. Frank L. Haller, a leading
business man of thu state, a man of,
large experience, broad culture and
great executive ability, completes the
trio of candidates on the republican
ticket.
For fourteen years Mr, Haller has
been a member of the board of di

and was admitted to the bar at Green
Bay, Wis., In 1874, since which time

Judge Sedgwick removed to York,
Neb., in 1878, and entered at once Into
active practice In which he was emi
nently successful. Serving one term
as judge on the district bench, he was
later supreme court commissioner and
was subsequently elected a Justice of
the supreme coart at the general elec
tion in 1901, serving as chief Justice
in the closing two years of his term.
At the close of his first terra Judge
Sedgwick was a candidate for renom
inatlon, but was defeated in the pri
maries by Judge M. B. Reese, who had
been denied a re-nomlnatlon some
years previously, the republican voters
of the state seeming to desire to right
without delay the wrong done Judge
Reese at the previous period. In this
decision no one acquiesced more
cheerfully than Judge Sedgwick, al
though feeling that patient, faithful
work fairly entitled him to a second
term.
Since the expiration of his term,
Judgo Sedgwick has successfully con
tinued the practise of law at York.
The splendid vote cast for him at the
recent primaries evidences the desire
of his fellow cltizeus of Nebraska to
return him to the supreme court, upon
which he rendered such distinguished
and meritorious service.
