"I have nil possible respect for our

tho last session ot tho legislature ex
presses tho will of tho peoplo of Ne

tho peoplo of u sovorelgn state when
legislating upon n matter regulating
ptiroly state corporations, a single
Judgo hns a power more potent than
the voice ot n million and u half peo
plo expressed through constitutional
authority. Tills should mako plain to
the people of the stato tho necessity
for nonpnrtlsnn Judges on tho bench
I want tho peoplo to know that I shMl
cxerclso ovory constitutional right giv

their oxprosscd will Bhnll bo defeated.
