JUSTICE SMITH III RAGE
Supreme Court Justice Will Seek Tie
election. Judge Clark Aj Smith this afternoon
made formal, announcement of his
candidacy for renomination as asso
ciate justice of the Kansas supreme
court He will seek renomination on
the nonpartisan Judiciary ballot In
the August primaries.
The announcement of Judge Smith
this afternoon followed that of Judge
Henry F. Mason, who a few days ago
announced his candidacy for another
term as an associate justice of the
court. The term of Justice Alfred W. ;
Benson also expires in 1915, but he
has as yet made no definite decision
i as to his plans for the future. -
Judge Smith is now serving his sec
ond term as an associate justice of the
supreme court.
When Judge John C. Pollock In
1903 was. appointed by President
Roosevelt as federal judge for the dis
trict of Kansas, Governor Bailey ap
pointed Judge Atkinson of Parsons to
the vacancy on the Kansas bench.
Judge Smith was an applicant for the
appointment and in the Republican
state convention of 1904 won the nom
ination over Judge Atkinson. He
filled the remainder of the unexpired
term of Judge Poilock and in 108
was renominated and elected.
In Mitchell county, his home. Judge
Smith was three times district Judge of
the Fifteenth district comprising Mitchell.
Osborne, Jewell and Smith counties. His
first election was in the early Wa, a short
time after the creation of the district.
In 1882 he was again elected judge and
succeeded himself In 1886. but went down
under the Populist landslide in 1890.
The brief formal announcement of Judge
Smith is as follows
"Believing, from the comments of the
press of this state and other states and
from the expressions of individuals, that
the supreme court of Kansas, as now con
stituted, has met the approval of the pub
lic generally and that I have been accord
ed a fair portiono f the credit therefor, I
am a candidate for renomination.
"By the consensus of opinion in this and
the other states of the union, as well as
Europe, experience is regarded as espec
ially valuable in the' discharge of judicial
duties. Stability in the courts of last re
sort is also favored as tending to uniform
construction of and certainty In the law.
I submit my candidacy to the women as
well as the men electors of the state, 're
gardless of party affiliations, in accord
ance with the spirit of the law known
as the Non-partisan Judiciary Act (Chap
ter 13 of the Laws of 19U.)"

because you stood steadfast, faithfully

That a man by the name of Chas.
Sailor, said to be from Topeka, has
been murdered, is the foundation or
a letter received this month-by Post
master A. K. 'Rodgers. The letter is
written by T. M. Murphy and was mail
ed from Mulberry, Ark. The letter is
as follows: -. .
"Mr. Charley Sailor of Topeka. Kan,
who has been living here for some time
as a fisherman, mysteriously disappear
ed here Saturday. November 29, and
supposed to have been drowned, but
from the evidence I have gathered, it
looks suspiciously like he was murder
ed on a little island at S o'clock Sun
day morning. There is strong Opposi
tion here to the murder theory and I
have quit the search as I have" found
no positive proof ef murder or drown
ing. .- T. M. MURPHY."
The only Charles Sailor known -to the
postoAce departmentor the police, is
a Charles Sailor who lived here 'several
years ago. The Topeka Bailor conduct
ed a rock quarry east of the city. The
last heard of him was over five years
ago. It Is possible that the man men
tioned in the letter from Arkansas is
