to influence him in any way, Judge
Thomas Lyons of the First judicial
division told the representative of the
division told the representative of the,
n cord for fairness and honesty and
he would let nothing stand in the
way of this ideal. There was unmis
takable sincerity in Judge Lyons'
1. 1 aimer; he evidently meant to do as
| he says.
"1 have good common sense,"snid
ludge Lyons, "and no one knows any
better than 1 do that to be successful
in Alaska or any where else a man
must br absolutely honest and fair,
i 1 have always been so and my ideas
j .ind Ideals have not undergone anyj
j < hangc since I became judge of the'
First division. My friends know ine
too well to attempt any dictation.
"I am the first Alaskan to be elect
ed *o the bench here and I want to
make a record among my friends and
people. I know the country, I know
conditions and people and 1 think I
know law. All I ask is to be judged
by my record."
Judge Lyons stated that he intend
ed to make 110 immediate changes in
offices which are appointed by him.
Ho stated that It was his policy to let
the people of each community se
lect their officera for him and that
he would make 110 changes unless the
present appointees were unfit or not
wanted by the community.
"All the animosities of the political
factions," were forgotten by me when
1 mounted the bench," concluded
Judge Lyons.
