HIES A SURE Win
FOR COURT OF APPEALS
He Stands For The Impartial Enforcement Of All The
Laws And Against Trivial Technicalities.
0\ DVICES received from practically every
-‘■‘county In Georgia indicate that Judge Nash
K. Broyles of tho recorder's court of Atlanta, will
be overwhelmingly nominated on August 19, to fill
the vacancy on tho state court of appeals bench
caused by the resignation of Judge Ben H. Hill.
There are four good reasons why tho voters
of Georgia aro going to name Judge Broyles for
this position. They are:
1. —All three of the candidates are from Atlanta,
and Judge Broyles, as shown by the practically
unanimous indorsement of the Atlanta bar, is by
far the best qualified for it.
2. Judge Broyles, in action and utterance, more
than any other man in Georgia, stands firmly, like
the Rock of Gibraltar for LAW ENFORCEMENT.
3.- Judge Broyles stands equally firmly against
Mach D Drnuloc the old ' worn -°ut, moss-covered, trivial TECHNI
CS" K. Dioyies cALITIES that have so often defeated justice.
4 —He Is entitled to election for his magnanimous action of two
years ago in withdrawing from the contest at the Macon convention,
for the sake of harmony, after he had run a tie race with Judge J.
R. Pottle for the court of appeals, in the state primary. His un
selfish action on that occasion brought him an enthusiastic ovation,
and practical assurance of election to the next vacancy. They are
going to give him an overwhelming majority on August 19.
PRESS COMMENT ON BROYLES.
Selected at random from newspapers all over the state, here is
what some of them say about Judge Broyles and his candidacy:
"Judge Broyles Is against Old Technicality,' and when he goes on
the appellate bench, ‘Old Technicality’ will have to get off.” —Darien
Gazette.
"The Indorsement of the Atlanta bar Is another unmistakable evi
dence of the ability of Judge Broyles " —Monroe News.
"Judge Nash R. Broyles looks like an easy winner in his race
for the court of appeal. Bibb county will go for him by a big
majority."—Macon News.
"Atlanta knows Nash Broyles, both as citizen and official, and At
lanta commends him to the state at large as everything a Georgian
should be."—Atlanta Georgian.
AN ABLE AND FEARLESS JUDGE.
"Judge Nash R. Broyles is a citizen of the highest type, a lawyer
of ability and a judge of the strictest integrity and fearless iu the
discharge of his duty." Athens Banner.
“A man who could boas magnanimous In politics as Judge Broyles
was two years ago, is entitled to the confidence and consideration of
the people, particularly when this Is backed up with unquestioned
integrity and ability." \ U g U sta Chronicle.
“Judge Broyles is one of the best fitted men for the position of
Judge we have ever known. It is Judge Broyles’ position on the
TECHNICALITY thst will appeal most strongly to the intelligence
of the people of Georgia."—Rome Tribune-Herald.
SOME STRONG INDORSEMENTS.
In a let tor to Judge Broyles, Judge Andrew J. Cobb, former justice
of the supreme court and one of Georgia's leading lawyers, said:
"I feel justified in saying that I anticipate for you upon the bench
of this court a career which will be creditable to yourself and service
able to your state.”
Judge W. E. Thomas of Valdosta, presiding over the southern su
perior court circuit, wrote Judge Broyles as follows:
"1 appreciate the manifestations of courage, fidelity and upright
ness which have marked your career. It will give me great pleasure
to commend you to my friends.”
The late Gov. William J. North en, remembered for his state-wide
campaign for law enforcement, writing personally to Judge Broyles,
on September 15. 1903, said:
“You have my sincere respect and admiration. You are doing
great service to the city, the state and your generation.”

TECHNICALITIES.
Extract from a Copy of an Article En
titled "Reform In tho Judicial Admin-
Ittration of Justice,” by Alexander W.
Stephens, Appearing In the Central
Law Journal of August 16, 1912.
Much Is said against the so-called
••technicalities” of the law. While soma
of the discussion Is instructive and In
telUgci.t. most of It consists f mere
generalities and demagogic assertions.
However this may be, no oe can Intel
ligently defend any rafik of procedure or
"technicality" which does not aid tho
court In arriving atjt speedy and proper
determination of the chac before It. The
technics II ties of the law, as Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, used to say. are
mere instruments to be used only for the
purpose of bringing about justice, and
in so far as they fail of that purpose,
it may be added, they have no place in
a well-ordered system of Jurisprudence.

Gone But Not Forgotten
On the 20 of July the spiiit of
Mr. font Boling was called from
earth to heaven, lie was :><> years
of age and had Ijecn in feeble health
for a number of year's, but was al
ways submissive,bearing his suffer
ings without a word of complaint.
His death is indeed sad but yet
beautiful. He was ready and will
ing to go, and feeling that death
was near, he called his wile and
love ones around the bed side told
them not to weep that all was
well.
At the age of 21 he gave his
In-art to Hod, joined the Methodist
chinch of which he was a member
until his death. He was a devoted
husband. His life was a sunbeam
in the home, he had the respect of
Gainesville, the town in which he
lived, the confidence of the church
of which he was a faithful mem
ber, the love of his intimate
friends and relatives. He leaves a
wife,f> sisters and 4 brothers an a
host of relatives and friends to
mourn Ins ioss. In this bereave
me't I've wept not as those who
h,.ve no faith, for God knoweth
best.
While it is n iture to mourn over
his ilepartuie, we know that our
loss is his eternal gain, and bow in
humble submission the providence
of him who doeth all things well.

JOSEPH
Clearly Defines His Position on
The Issues of the Hour.
OPPOSES LAWLESSNESS
Says Labor Has a Right to Organize;
Favors Separation of Church
and State; Stands For Parcel Post
and Rural Credits; Against Ne
groes in Office; Favors Literacy
Test on Immigration.
To The People of Georgia:
The strength of the govern
ment of a free people lies in the
deliberate making and the fear
less and impartial enforcement of
just laws. Preference for a class
and fear of a class by those who
make and administer the laws are
alike odious to all who hold jus
tice as a basic principle and not
the temporary expedient of the
opportunist.
So belie”ing, I pledge myself,
if elected to the United States
Senate, to introduce and press
bills for enactment into laws, for
forcing the labor unions, a large
majority of whose members are
foreign born, to obey the laws in
the same manner as they are
obeyed by all other citizens of
this republic. Laboring people
have a perfect right to organize
these unions, but they should be
incorporated and put under the
same penalties as are provided
for common carriers, since it is a
matter of common knowledge
that they obstruct or prevent the
operation of the common carriers.
I favor greater restrictions on
immigration. Too many unde
sirable foreigners are now enter
ing the United States. I believe
a literacy test should be applied,
and that all failing in this should
be debarred.
I believe that reverence for re
ligion should be and
public schools ye support-
ed as the ‘ ‘nurseries of democra
cy,” but there should not be,
even indirectly, any steps leading
toward a union of church ai H
State. No religious teacher should
be given governmental emolu
ments and authority to enforce
his sectarian discipline over those
of other faiths.
I stand for freedom of speech
and of the press, safe-guarded
by the State. I oppose interfi r
ence with the individual by the
federal government
I favor legislation which will
establish rural credits on such
basis as will enable the rural pop
ulation to secure loans at a small
rate of interest, as is now done
in several European countries.
I favor amplification of Parcel
Post facilities as rapidly as the
resources of the government will
admit
I oppose the appointment of
negroes as trial judges or to of
fices in which they will give or
ders to white employees.
As to general matters yet open
to legislation by Congress I stand
on the last platform adopted by
the national Democratic party.
I favor the enactment by the
State Legislature of a law requir
ing the establishment and con
stant maintenance of the county
unit as the electoral basis for
nominating United States Sena
tors and other statewide officers.
