The Republican* of the Twelfth Ju
dicial district of Nebraska have select -
id as their candidate for the office of
district judge, Hon. William Gatlin, of
Kcaruey. This nomination came to
him without any solicitation on his
part and he has consented to stand as a
candidate upon earnest request of
Irlends and acquaintances all over the
district without respect to politic*.
Judge Gaslln is too well knowu to
ihe people of this judicial district to
need any Introduction. For sixteen
years be was judge of the district
lourt in this state. He presid'd in this
listrict up to the time It was divided
when he took the district south of the
IMatte where he was judge up to 1H|>1.
lie ranks among the best district judges
the state ever had. Ills court, was al
ways conducted with a view of saving
expenses to the people and In the in
terest of Ihe tax payers. During his
long service on the bench his judicial
ntairrliv was never oiiestloiied. II*
whs the people'* judge and all their
right* were carefully protected.
lu presenting Jndge Gaslln, the re
pabllean* believe they have a candidate
whom the people can *upport eon
clentlously. Ills eminent ability, hi*
Ion* service a* Judge, hi* familiarity
with the conditions of the people and
his sterling Integrity insure that his

To Uie Voters of IStli Judicial lilstrlct
Prior to the nomination of Judge
of the district court, 1 positively re
fused to allow the use of rny name as a
candidate for that office. My name
was put oa the ticket without rny con
sent while 1 was in Omaha on business.
After being urged by my friends, re
gardless of politics, I have decided to
allot/ my name to remain aa a candi
date for election. If elected I shall
luallfy and serve, and, as during the
lixteen year* I filled the otllce of dis
trict judge, I shall de my best to hold
tho court* and perform the duties of
the olfice In the Interest of all the peo
pie of the district
I believe now, a* I always have, that
the court* should be kept out of politic*
snd therefore 1 shall make no political
campaign. I have no desire to dictate
how any man shall vote I have enough
confidence In the voter* of Him Twelfth
Judicial district. *<> many of whom I
personally know, Hist I am perfectly
willing to at.Ide by tbeii decision as
expressed at the polls in November,
Very respectfully.
