Judge Kinne's Candidacy

Friday's Evening News contained an interview with Judge Moore, of Lapeer, that sounded just a little queer, to say the least. If Judge Moore said the things he is recorded as saying, he certainly made a great mistake, for the interview gives an impression that it is a shrewd politician and not a careful, delibérate judge, that is talking. The idea is carried that a number of his opponents are in the race simply for a little pastime, and that when they are thoroughly satiated with the amusement, they will turn their forces over to him. . Among tlitjse mentioned is Judge Kinne, of Washtenaw. There never was a greater mistake made, as far as Judge Kinne is concerned. Wliile the judge is in no way bombastic, or one who proclaims himself from the housetops, yet he has many warm friends throughout the state, who believe he has attainments that peculiarly fit him for the position of judge of our Supreme Court. He has friends, also, who will stand by him until he is nominated, and they will be there in force. They are not in it for amusement in the least, but for the nomination, and it is fair to presume that the other candidates mentioued by Judge Moore feel the same way. The candidacy of Judge Kinne is very promising, and he has many strong argumenta in his favor, not the least of which - aside from his fitness for the place - is the fact that he has been twice overwhelraingly elected circuit judge in a circuit that is strongly opposed tohim politically. VVashtenaw county has been for many years the strongest democratie county in Michigan. It bas now given itself to the republican party, and that party should appreciate the fact and encourage it to stay there. Washtenaw county bas not been given a position on the state ticket by the republicans since the memory of man run neth back. Now it will come forward and ask that the republicans in this section be recognized. It will come in such a way, too, that its requests will not be brushed aside without consideration.
