THT’RSDAY, AUGUST 24, lf>22.
WHY SHOULD THE
LAWYERS DICTATE
T~'
We notice from the Press that the
lawyers of Cartersville and Fitzgerald
have endorsed the candidacy of Judge
Fish for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court.
We of course do not know how other
people view this, but we have a very
opinion of our own on the sub
ject. Up to 1899 or 1900 and I regret
to say this does not seem long to the
writer) Judges of the Supreme Court
and of the Superior Court were elect-
by the Georgia Legislature. This sys
tem was not satisfactory to the people
of Georgia and in fact, was so unsat
isfactory that they insisted that the
Constiution he amended so as to give
them the right to elect these officials
by direct vote.
' Prior to that time, it had been the
custom of lawyers to endorse their fa
'vprite candidate, and this is one of the
reasons that the people wanted the
Constitution changed and the law
Amended. They did not. like this sys
leni. They don't like it yet.
When Judge Dick Russell announc
ed for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, in the first letter he sent out all
the lawyers in Georgia, he explicitly
stated that while he was proud of the
fact that, he was one fo the legal fra
ternity, and was proud of his profes
sion, be was not asking endorsement
by any members of the bar anywhere,
because he did not feel that he needed
any letter of introduction to the peo
ple of Georgia, after having been in
fhe public gaze for something like 40
years.
• As for ourselves, we can see no more
reason for lawyers to endorse a candi
date for the Supreme Court or Court
■of Appeals, although he must be a law
yer, than for the Railroad officials to
endorse a Railroad Commissioner, or
tor the School Teachers! to endorse the
’Superintendent of Education, or for
the farmers to endorse the Comrnis
sioner of Agriculture.
While it is true that the Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court must be a
lawyer, but he in no sense represents
the legal fraternity in that position, but
is supposed to be elected by and repre
sent the entire people of the State, and
v.V*, for one, resent this old practice of
SO years ago of members of the bar un-

Idertaking to dictate to the people of
the State whom they should have in
I'this position, when the people have so
I rtettnitely determined that they want
to do this themselves and do not care
to be dictated to by the legal fraterni
ty.
We maintain that the people of this
state are well posted as to the quallti
eations and legal attainments of those
who run for high judicial positions,
land why should it be necessary to dic
tate to them what they should do
when it comes to casting their ballot?
If he people had wanted this, they
would not have changed the Constitu
tion so as to prevent it.
Everybody in Georgia knows “Plain
Dick Russell" and if Judge Fish, who
has held public office and lived from
the public treasury for more than 44
years continuously, is not well enough
known not to need vouching for at this
late date, it does not speak very well
for his ability.
The Constitution of the State re
quires that the people shall by their
votes elect the Chief Justice, and re
gardless of what is said to the contrary
‘by a few lawyers in meeting assembled
the people are going to elect Judge Dick
Russell Chief Justice on September 1.8,
If you doubt it, wait and see.
