HE WOULD RATHER BE
JUDGE IN PRESIDE!!!
f' ? ? i
The Washington Post recently said
"Si" Reld. u he is known in Oklahoma,
is-quite a typical Westerner acid that
he "made friends and thrived as a
lawyer," when he quit Illinois and
went to the Southwest seven years
afro.
He was the Bepnblloan candidate for
attorney general of the new state on
the Republican ticket, but the Demo
crats were too mpny for him.
In an interview published locally to
day, Judge Reid sayj: "Gov. Frajtz
and I stumped the state to/ether; we
covered seventy-five counties in
forty days and made 12ti speeches each.
Each got so that he knew the other's
speeches practically by heart, with the
result that when his throat gave out I
made his addresses in addition to my
own, and when mine gave out he gave
the substance of my talk. Each of us
talked about an hour. We were stump
ing for the election of the Republican
state ticket. We met defeat and went
broke toge. her. I always had an am
bition to go on the bench; I would
rather be a member of the supreme
court of the United States, the highest
tribunal in the world, in this or any
other time, than be president. A jus
tice of that tribunal is Above the exac
tiona of politics. With the assurance
of a lifetime poaitlon before bim, he I*
concerned onlj in tbe giving out of
exact justice. It was flr?t suggested
that I become a judge of Porto Rico.
But (his waa found impractice'le. The
fact that I b.d experience in a new
country helped me, I suppose, and
besides I had tbe united support of the
Oklahoma Republicans.
"Alaska is not so very different
from Oklahoma when \ottcome to think
of it. We are so f .r away from it here
that we are apt to ibink of Alaska as
a barren place in which living Is a
burden. But I am informed that the
climate is not worse than that of R'ch
mond, Va., and that In Sitka, a room in
a hotel with private bath and electric
lights is not out of the question. As
for the cold weather in winter, one
does cot mind that, because he is pre
pared for it. In Western Oklahoma a
man can get lost in a blizzard and
freeze to death."
It is another interesting fact about
Judge Reld, not yet public anywhere,
that he had his choice between a judge
ship in Porto Rico and one in Alaska.
He hesitated some time between tbe
tropics and tbe sub-Arctic, but finally
chose the latter.
