the legislature, then, at its

! amendment adding two' judges
t the court, and providing that
those judges and their successors
lha ll be elected by the people.
If this amendment could pass
the legislature by November 7th
/and that is ample time,) it could
Jhcn be submitted to the people
for ratification at the January elec
tion for county officers.
The act would provide for the
election, provisionally, of the two
additional Judges at the same
time, and thus secure their ser-
Tic e, to the court within a, few
days after the election. The rati
fication of such an amendment
woul 1 be rendered more certain if
it made the entire bench election
by the people, which would be an
improvement on the present sys
tem. lint that feature might en
i danger its passage by the legisla
ture.
judges are now elected by the
people, and for many years have
been, inmost of the states, bo we
would run no risk in adopting
that system as to these two of our
judges. But the suggestion needs
no elaboration. Through you I
give it to the people for what it
may be worth.
