6 Years Ago the Detroit News Said:
(:(
"The election, insofar as it caused the defeat of the one Democratic Judge,
was unfair, since that Judge had made an outstanding record, has shown his
thorough capacity, and had the endorsement of his colleagues on the Bench,
and of the Bar Associations. He was defeated, not because of any deficiency in
himself, but because he was a Democrat, rather than a Republican."
