JUDGE MORRISSEY
HAS FILED FOR
RE-ELECTION
«
CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEBRASKA SU
PREME COURT HAS MADE
EXCELLENT RECORD.
HIS JUDICIAL OPINIONS CLEAR
Work of Court Expedited Under Hia
Leadership.— Gain of Six
Months on Docket.
Chief Justice Andrew M. Morrissey,
of the Nebraska supreme court, has
filed as a candidate for re-election.
Petitions for his candidacy from all
parts of the state, signed by several
thousand voters in excess of the 3,000
required by law, are in the secretary
of state’s hands.
On account of the excellent record
Chief Justice Morrissey has made on
I I
CHIEF JUSTICE A. M. MORRISSEY
who has filed for reelection
the supreme bench and the manner in
which the work has been expedited
since he became its head, it is expect
ed he will have no serious opposition
for re-election. Under his leadership
the court has gained six months’ time
on its docket during the last year, and
is now hearing and disposing of cases
more rapidly than ever before. Being
in the prime of life and in vigorous
health, Chief Justice Morrissey has
not only handled his own part of the
work in a manner satisfactory to liti
gants and to attorneys having cases
before the high tribunal, but some of
his energy has been Infused into the
entire machinery of the court.
Clear-Cut Opinions.
His judicial opinions are models of
clear thinking concisely expressed.
The chief justice gets to the point of
a case without indulging in superflu
ous verbiage. This quality has won
for his decisions the undivided respect
and esteem of the legal profession,
which calling he has followed for
twenty years.
Between his associates on the su
preme bench and himself there has
been the utmost cordiality, and he en
joys their respect and good will. Dur
ing the incumbency of Chief Justice
Morrissey .nothing has been heard of
the personal animosities and disagree
ments which formerly existed between
members of the court.
Judge Morrissey is a native of New
York state. He came to Nebraska
twenty-five years ago and has lived
here ever since. Before coming to
Lincoln, his home was at Valentine.—
Lincoln Daily Star.
It will be well for voters to bear In
mind that judges are no longer nom
inated or elected on party tickets
Nominations for judicial positions are
now made in a somewhat similar way
to the method employed in electing
city commisisoners in cities under the
commission system. The names are
printed on a ballot separate and dis
tinct from the regular party ballot, no
party designation is allowed, and the
candidate runs on his merits. Under
one system or another a number of
states have provided for taking the
courts out of politics. The same year
that we adopted our non-partisan law,
Minnesota passed an act which not
only takes the courts but also takes
the county offices and candidates for
the legislature off the party ballots.
In that state judges, county officers
and members of the legislature are
elected without a party designation
and in utter disregard of party affili
ation. Last year Iowa passed a non
partisan judiciary law very similar to
ours, and in the future party lines
will be disregarded in Iowa, as in Ne
braska.
This year we elect one chief justice
and three associate justices. At the
primary the voter is allowed to vote
for one chief justice and three asso
ciate justices, but there will be twice
as many nominations as there are of
fices to fill. Thus two candidates will
be nominated for chief justice and six
nominated for associate justice.
Woman Cures Horse Colic.
The men were away as usual. The
horse was bad. A lone woman could
not “drench” in the old way. She
called up a neighbor and her men
were away—but: “We have Farris
Colic Remedy that you drop on the
horse’s tongue,” says Mrs. Neighbor.
So she came over and dropped Farris
Colic Remedy on the horses’s tongue
and the horse was well when the
men came home. Moral: Get Farris
Colic Remedy so the women can cure
horse colic. We sell it at 50 cents a
bottle on the Money Back Plan —J. J.
