MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER.
THE JUDGESHIP RACE AS
VIEWED BY THE PRESS
Editorial Endorsements of Judge Morris From Every County in
the Blue Ridge Circuit.
Cherokee Advance, June 7. '
After all is there any race on for
Judge of this Judicial Cireuit? You
can ask every voter you meet in this
section whom he is supporting for
Judge, and practically every one
will not only tell you he is for Judge
Morris, but many of them will also
state that they hardly know of a
man that is not for him.
He carried Cherokee county in
each of his former§races; in the last
race ne carried it by 1069 majority,
His friends that stood by him
then and are for him now, and a
great many of our best citizens that
opposed him then are actively sup
porting him now.
The. law-abiding element of this
section is satisfiad and contented
with the manner in which Judge
Morris conducts the business of the
courts; he is earnest in the enforce
ment of the law, yet perfectly fair
and impartial; he dispatches busi
ness with promptness and economy,
still he shows patience and careful
consideration in determining the
right and liberties of litigants: he
tries to give every person a square
deai regardless of whom he is or
what his financial standing may be.
We make these statements in
simple justice to a public oflicial
that we believe has been faithful,
honest and conscientious in the full
discharge of the duties of the po
sition he occupies,
| Ellijay Times, May 29, 1912,
If there is a race on for Judge of
this circuit, it is ecertainly some
where out of Gilmer county.
We do not believe Judge Morris
will lose a dozen votes in this county.
'He has been fair and impartial in
‘the trial of all cases before him; the
‘people know it and appreciate it,
and the result is the democrats
'from every section of the county
;are back of him earnestly and en
thusiastically. ;
I He is kind and considerate to the
jurors; he lets them out of the
lcourt house every minute he can
| when they are not engaged in the
trial of a case.
I When a man is convicted or files
a plea of guilty before Judge Morris
before he passes sentence he patient
ly hears all of the facts on both
lsides, and he does this regardless of
{whom the party is—whether he is
}rich or poor, White or black. If it
is a case that demands mercy, he
shows mercy, and if it is a case
that demands a heavy penalty, he
has the courage to discharge his
| duty.
| Judge Morris has “‘made good”’
as Judge of this circuit, he has won
the confidence and support of many
good citizens that have opposed him
in the past.
' He is entitled to an endorsement,

and he is going to get it in this
section. /
! Gilmer county will give him
ahout 800 majority. v
Blue Ridge Post, May 30, 1912.
The charge of Judge Morris to
the grand jury when Court con
vened Monday is considered by
many old citizens as one of the
ablest charges ever delivered in the
county.
You cannot hear him deliver his
his charge and see him dispatching
the business of the courts without
being thoroughly impressed with
his earnestness in the enforecement
of the law and his determination
and fixed purpose to give every
person or interest a fair and im
partial trial in the courts. |
When a poor and unfortunate
man is convicted in his court
through some technical violation |
of the law or in ignorance of the‘
law, he shows the deepest sympathy -
and consideration for him alwaysj
getting on the side of merey in fix
ing penalties. l
But on the other hand when one
of those tough “bullies”’ is eonvict- |
ed before him, a man with a fixed‘
purpose of violating the law and
disregarding the rights of others, he!
is abselutely fearless in the discharge
of his full duty and shows that he
has the manhood, courage and nerve
to enforce the law regardless of
whom the party is with whom he isl
dealing.
Good citizens by the whoelesale in
this county that have never voted
for Judge Morris in'the past are
now earnestly supporting him; he|
has unquestionably won the con
fidence and support of the law-abid
ing element in this section of the
circuit. |
He will carry Fannin county by|
an overwhelming majority; at least,
by seven or eight hundred, if the
predictions of many come true. i
(From The North Georgian, June 7th.)
Judge N. A. Morris was in Cum
ming the first of this week talking
politics with his many friends.
He certainly has a strong follow
ing lin this county; many of his
supporters openly eclaim that he
will carry Forsyth county by a good
majority, and, while the opposition
voters do not concede this claim, yet
many of them admit that there is a
lively fight on, and that the race
wlll be very close here.
Judge Morris carried this county
in his race eight years ago and also
in the race four years ago by an in
creased majority.
Many of our best citizens who
opposed him in each of those races
are now for him on account of the
fair and impartial manner in which

courts; his friends eclaim that he
has tried to do his full duty and
that it is just and right that he
should have a second term as an en
dorsement of the fine record he has
made. : 7
Pickens County Progress, June 6
We have had very little to say
concerning the present race for
judge of this circuit, but we have
been listening to what others have
had to say in the county for the
past few months. ; ;
We learn that people in almost
every section of the county are in
favor of Judge Morris; numbers of
substantial citizens, we understand,
that voted against him before are
now supporting him for re-election.
He carried this county by a large
majority in both of his other races,
and many think he will carry it by
a large increased majority in the
coming primary.
We believe he is trving to dis
charge his duty; in managing the
affairs of the Courts, he impresses
you as being in earnest in the en
forcement of the law, but he shows
a determination to give everybody
that has business before the court a
fair and impartial trial.
The old custom of an endorse
ment of a public official that en
deavors to discharge his duty is
appropriate and applicable to Judge
Morris. |
Milton County News, June 3.
A number of the papers pub
lished in the Blue Ridge Circuit are
strongly advocating the re-election
of Judge Morris.as judge of this
judicial circuit.
They claim that he has tried to.
discharge his full duty by giving
every man and every interest a
square deal in the courts; we
heartily concur in this claim, for
we believe that he has been faith
ful and conscientious in discharging
the responsible duties of the posi
tion he occupies.
On account of these facts, Judge
Morris now has the active support
of many good citizens in this coun
ty who never supported him before.
It has been customary where a
public officer tries to discharge his
duty to give him a second term as
an endorsement of his faithful ser
vice.
During the present administra
tion the business before the court
has been disposed of in a business
like manner; there have been no
charges of trickery or corruption.
Our people appear to be satisfled,
and, unless we misjudge the situa
tion, the present administration
will be overwhelmingly endorsed in
this section on election day.
