Communication from Judge Lewis on Judicial Selection

There are 0 proposed amendments related to this document on which decisions have not been taken.

Globe, Arizona, October 7, 1910. Mr. John J. Birdno, Safford, Arizona.

I am returning you therewith the letter from Mr. Folson which I read with a great deal of interest. I heartily concur in the views he expresses and would deem it a greater advantage to Arizona if we can succeed in having the appropriate system for the selection of our judges of the Supreme Court. As an alternative, however, I deem it of the greatest importance that the judicial elections be held separately from the election of other officials. If you want to read the greatest argument that was ever made, to my knowledge, for the appointive system, get a copy of the Federalist and read what Alexander Hamilton had to say in his argument for the appointive system when the Federal Constitution was under construction.

Very truly yours, E. W. Lewis, Judge.
