Duwson Journal:—The Macon TturanAPH
oaB* apt Judge Tom Simmons’ political
scalp if ho persists iu running for governor
while occupying a judicial position. The
eelegbafh is right. No man should be al
lowed to use one official position as a step
ping stone to a higher one. Let the judge
either retire from the gubernatorial race or
resign his position as judge.
Houston Home Journal: The Macon
TEUEsnAPH has editorially demanded, in be-
half of the people of Georgia, that Judge
Simmons resigns the judgeship he hold!
or quit canvassing for Governor. This pa-
S er is on recoxd on this subject, though we
id not point our remarks personally. We
cordially endorse the position assumed by
the Teleobaph on this subject. The judic
ial bench should not be used as a political
steuptag-stone, and we have seen evidences
to the effect that tho best thought of our
people condemns such a proceednro. If
Judge Kimmons really desires to be Gov
ernor of Georgia, he must quit trying to Use
his position ns judge as the lever to elevate
himself to that position,
Lawrenceville Herald: The Macon Tele
(ibaph hits the nail square on tho head*
when it denounces the praotice of judges of
the Superior Court making electioneering
pilgrimages throughout the State on the
plen of holding courts for disqualified
judges. It lowers the dignity ot tho bench
and opens the door for influential attorneys
nnd politicians to presume on their claims
upon the official who ought to hold th«
scales of justice even.
The enlightened public sentiment of the
state condemns this practice, and it would
seem that theso intelligent gentlemen would
seo the necessity of either retiring from the
bench or withdrawing from the race. The
old fable of tho dog crossing the stream
with a morsel of meat iu his mouth may il
lustrate the result of an attempt to bravo
public opinion.
CartersvilleJ Conrant: Our Judges are
only men. Invested with the high and re-
g on the lives and
. . -men, every safe
guard should be thrown around their posi
tions and they should bo removed to the
farthest possible distance from heated dis
cussions, political scrambles, and all the
rivalries, jealousies, envytags, hatreds and
combinations that attend political promo
tion nnd political aspirations. Every effort
to make a judge a partisan should receive
the strongest condemnation. 1’oUtics is
more or less demoralizing in its results,
and its decadence from virtue is more
marked with every year that passes. No
man can retain his seat on the bench in this
dsy and time and ran for a higher office
without b
decisions.
I am willing for me and my children to stay
down here and let them and their children
stay up there. There is room enough for I
both of us between the big waters. Them’s
my sentiments and I don't core who knows
it,'—Lawrenceville Herald.

debarring a judge from running for another

judge's conscience condemning such office-
seeking. There are several judicial aspirants
mentioned in , Georgia as seeking Congres

the press of tbe State frown down any open
