FRIOIOS ENDORSE JUDGE KUNKEL [Continued from First Page.] v ' ' i|m SM3>i mWm mm Nflr t' HON. B. F. MEYERB Im> nit«n|rtlmfd by the elevation to thHt brnrh of one who as coun nelor, puhllc proHecutor, lrfflHlntor, •ml Ju<lt;e ban alwajd observed the best traditions of the legal profes sion | and Anally, their slneere wish —as those best able 'to speak of Judge Kunkel's superior fitness for the hlicher court—to make known the universal respect and confidence which led to his unanimous re election last year after a decade of able and Impartial service in the llarrlsburg courts. A committee on committees was ap pointed with authority "to name such other committees as may be neces sary to co-operate with the Dauphin County Bar Association committees which have begun a vigorous cam paign for Judge Kunltel all over the .State. Mr. Meyers Presides There has been seldom in the his tory of the city so representative a meeting as that of last evening." Men l'rom all walks of life and nearly every occupation were present. The meet ing started out to be a little neighbor hood gathering but it wound up in nothing short of a mass meeting. The fourt room could not have held an other person when "William Jennings stepped forward and asKed for nomi nations for chairman. B. F. Burns nominated Hon. B. F. Meyers to pre side and Mercer B. Tate as secretary. They were elected unanimously and "Mr. Jennings named Mr. Burns and Francis J. Hall as a committee to es cort Mr. Meyers to the chair. The room rang with applause as .Mr. Meyers took the chair and there were loud calls for a speech. "Some ten years ago,' said Mr. Mey ers. "I was engaged in a nonpartisan judgeship campaign. I believed then in a nonpartisan judiciary and I be lieve in it now. While at that time ihe anti-machine party, as we called ourselves, was opposed to Judge Kun kel, I come before you now asking for your support in his candidacy for the Supreme Court judgeship, for the rea son that Judge Kunkel has made good on the Dauphin county bench. Of his legal ability 1 have no need to say j anything, for it is well known. Of his | integrity I could not say too much. | While I opposed him when he was tirst elected, I was glad to vote for him when he ran for re-election last Fall. 1 would be sorry to see him leave the Dauphin county bench, but on the other hand, 1 would be glad to see him elevated to the Supreme bench, because I believe he is pre-emi nently the man for the place. It was at this point Mr. Stackpole asked permission to present, the fore going resolutions, which were unani mously adopted and placed on the minutes. He sa)id the whole Inception arid purpose cJf the meeting was to give the laymen of the city an opportunity to lie heard. "The members of the bar," said lie, "have put themselves on rec ord and are doing admirable work in promoting the candidacy of Judge Kunkel In every possible way. A sjreat many of his friends among those who are not members of the bar have expressed a desire to be heard in some way and it seems to be now is an ex cellent opportunity for those who are here to say what they would like to say about Judge Kunkel. We are not here as lawyers; we are simply here as ordinary, everyday citizens. I think we ought to say what we have to say about one whom we respect and honor as we do Judge Kunkel." Railroad Kndorscnient Milton T. Robinson, who was pres ent as the official representative of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, said lie .spoke for that large and Influential order when he heartily endorsed all that had been said in favor of Judge Kunkel's candidacy. "I represent the Brotherhood of Trainmen," said he, "numbering in its membership thousands of voters in all parts of the State. I ask that the name of our organization be spe cifically mentioned as supporting Judge Kunkel. Our members do not forget his splendidly prepared decision sustaining the constitutionality of the Pull Crew law, which decision was sus tained by the Supreme Court. X have been instructed to go from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and from Erie to the southern boundaries of the State to speak in behalf of Judge Kunk"l's candidacy." (Applause.) ■Ed. 3. Herman was the next speaker. He said in part: "Jir. Hob inson has spoken for the railroad men, for the labor unions. ( want to add • word in behail' of the business in terests. It is needless for me to sa • anything cqpcerntng Judge K tinker's legal qualifications. They are too well known to require comment. Judge Kunltel has made good, he is making good and. I believe if elevated to the place to Which he now aspires he will make as great a reputation as he has in the Dauphin county courts. rn urging a candidate for such an exalted position as that of the Supreme Court bench I think that we will all agree that fitness must be the tlrst consid eration, and r am sure that in asking the people to support Judge Kimk'M we are backing u man who will .'add character and ability to the office. Possibly the greatest tribute that could be paid iiini is to find, as we do here this evening, dozens of men support ing him who were his bitterest oppo nents when he first ran for judge." J. V. . Rpynders, vice-president of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, said he desired "to speak a word for Steelton," and he too emphasized the fact that Judge Kunkel's most ardent supporters at this time are the very men who opposed him most vigor ously a decade ago. Mr. Heynders thought it the duty of the judge's townsfolks to see to It that ho be comes as well known over the State as he is at home. He spledged the support of Steelton. George W. Straw said he was among those ten years ago who had done the best they could to defeat Judge Kunkel: that he had stumped the county against him'; but the judge had confounded his opponents of that elec- TUESDAY EVENING, v'f T'¥ wt v v w * t t ▼ t if * T T T T T ; I ~ ~ I CALL 1991-ANY'PHONE.'*' pr ; ' —7T~7 . !

Mr. O'Shaughnessy said: "I am not i a resident of llarrisburg. I know it I to be a fact that the lawyers all over this State are obliged to come here j occasionally before Judge Kunkel, and the fair treatment they have received | from him has ingratiated lilm in their j hearts, so much so that you must not forget that he lias friends in all parts of this Commonwealth, and you will not have any trouble, if you Issue a 1 circular letter, that you will And majiy ! pe<?ple, many and willing people, ! throughout the State to help you out; in this great cause." J The meeting adjourned with three j rousing cheers for Dauphin county's candidate for the Supreme Court. On motion of D. E. Tracey a com-! mittee on committees was, appointed I as follows: Ed. S. Herman, Samuel Kunkel, B. F. Burns, George W. Reily and 11. C. Boss. This committee has power to name such other commit tees as may be deemed necessary to properly co-operate with the Dauphin county bar committees now actively engaged in furthering Judge Kunkel's candidacy over the State. Also on motion of E. Z. Wallower a resolution was passed calling on all Dauphin county people to get into touch with their friends in other parts of the State and urge them to take an active interest In promoting the Kunkel campaign. Letters of Regret The following letters of regret were read by Secretary Tate from promi nent Harrlsburgers unable to attend but who wanted to go on record as supporting the movement: Mr. E. J. Stackpole, Hamsburg. Pa. My dear Mr. Stackpole: I am In receipt of a communication dated March 13 and signed by yourself and other gentlemen, inviting me to a con ference In courtroom No. 2 on the evening of the sixteenth of March at 8 o'clock, to confer with you and others about ways and means for pro moting the candidacy of the Honor able George Kunkel for the Supreme Court. Inasmuch as I am better ac quainted with you than either of the other gentlemen whose names are af fixed to the call, I make direct reply to you. It affords me no little pleasure to say that I hold myself in readiness to assist in every way possible the accomplishment of the purpose which brings you and others together. But because of certain duties In connection with tlje homing and caring for the 300 or more Methodist preachers who will be In our city next week, many of whom will arrive on Monday evening. I greatly fear that I cannot be pres ent at the above meeting and I there fore send this note so that you may know that I am entirely in sympathy with this movement. It will be one of the chief Joys of my life, to assist in every way possible I the election of Mr. Kunkel to this ex , alted office. While other good and capable men will aspire for the place, I candidly believe that no one so fully equipped by nature and experience will ask for the suffrage of the people. The Honorable George Kunkel has made the best and the most impartial judge I have ever known. He could not always do the things I thought he ought to do: but he did that which was better—fearlessly did what he himself conscientiously believed to be right within the meaning of the law he was sworn to execute. It affords be all the more pleasure to thus attest to his eminent fitness, because when he was a candidate ten or more years ago for Judge of the courts of Dauphin county I as earnest ly opposed his election as I shall now I seek to promote it. I did so consclen- I tlously, but lils record the past ten ' vears fullv demonstrates now thor SXRRISBURG flHggg TELEGRAPH oughly, though honestly, one might bf mistaken. T fully believe that his tory cannot show a more honest and conscientious devotion to duty than Mr. Kunkc 1 has written during the past ten years. Every lawyer ought to be proud of it, and especially the members of his own bar. I write this, fearing that I may not be able to be piresent at the above meeting. Should I be able to get through with my work and the C. .ties assigned me in time to be with you, even though at a late hour, 1 shall certainly do so. At any rate, permit me to say that any duty that may at any time be assigned me, or any ser vice I can render In promoting the object sought, will be most cheerfully given. By so doing I believe I shall best serve my day and generation. With sincere personal respect for yourself and the other gentlemen of the committee, l beg to remain. Respectfully yourß, B. H. HART. J. Horace Md'arlunC Wrtto"s Mr. William Jennings, Harrisburg, Pa. Dear Mr. Jennings: I hfve your] circular letter of yesterday concern ing the meeting called for Monday evening in courtroom No. 2, to con sider ways and means for promoting the candidacy of Judge Kunkel for the Supreme Court. 1 am most heartily In favor of this ijlovement, notwithstanding the fact that the success with which it ought to meet will be a real misfortune to Har risburg and to the State of Pennsyl vania. Air. Kunkel's services to the State have been notable, and while it is very proper Indeed that he should have the preferment indicated, I believe his great usefulness in his present posi tion is of vast importance. T would gladly be present at the meeting were it not for the fact that serious illness in my family makes it impracticable for me to get away in the evening. . I will be thankful If you would mention to your associates my deep interest in anything that would give I proper justice to any man who has so , honored and served his State. Yours truly. J. HORACE McFARLAND. W. M. Donaldson's Letter Mr. William Jennings, Harrlsburg, Pa Dear Sir: I am in' receipt of your letter of the 13th instant in reference to the candidacy of Hon. George Kun kel, President Judge of the Twelfth Judicial District, as a nonpartisan can didate for the Supreme Court this year. I regret to say that I will be out of town on Monday evening, other wise would certainly be present, as this matter has my hearty co-opera tion, and anything that I can do to further the project vtill be willingly taken up. Sincerely yours. W. M. DONALDSON. Spencer C. Gilbert Writes Mr.. William Jennings, Harrlsburg, Pa. Dear Sir: I greatly regret that on account of a previous engagement, which it is impossible for me to break, I will not be able to attend the meet ing to be held at the Courthouse this evening In the Interest of. the candi i dacy of Hon.

It is needless for me to say how • greatly interested X am in this cam paign and I sincerely truLt that this s great honor may come to this Judi • clal district, both for personal and > public reasons, and to that end I will i do anything in my power to assist in • what may be decided upon at the meeting. i Sincerely yours, t SPENCER C.

But you have my cordial endorse ment of Judge Kunkel as to his char acter and eminent fitness for the Su preme Court position. Yours sincerely, JOHN D. FOX. From MillerslmrK Dear Mr. Jennings: I will not be able to be at the meeting on the 1 tith, but be assured that I and all the vot ers of this section, Irrespective of party, will be only too glad to favor Judge Kunkel for any office or posi tion in the State.
