Imagine our surprise, then, to learn, from niolessan.authority than David R.

T'he Judicial There lias been mucli Election heated discussion about dislionest, jurists, the "receivership racket," exorbitant fees for masters in, chancery, receivers and receWv ers' attorneys, witlfhe usual resuit ta the electorate, is no doubt considerahly confused regarding the qualifications of the vàrious candidates for judgeships. We suggest that the safest procedure to follow is the election> of canddatS, reco mmended ýbythe Chicago Bar associ- ation. -We immediately qualify this suggestion with the, request that citizens of New Trier give their support to Harry .C.. K1ine of Wilmette, a Rep ublican candidate for the.' Circuit bench. Mr. Kinne, thotih falling a few votes short in the Bar association poli (a circumstance attributable entirely to the fact that uxany sitting judges are candidates with the endorsement of the Bar association) is highly recommnendedf by the Bar association as be ing thorouighly qualified by character and experierice to serve on the Circuit bencli. The Bar association recoinniendat ions are made by poil of the mexubership which is of course made up of Iawyers wlio ,shlould have a rather thorougli knowledge of the qualifications of candidates for -Aie bench and be familiar withi the conduct of Sitting' judg .es.

We therefore regard it as safe for the voters to f oloW quite generally the choice of the: Bar . association.
