MR. MARTINEAU: I don't think you are opposed
|
|
2
|
to the statewide elections as much as you are to the pos-
|
|
3
|
sibility of their being selected from any one particular
|
|
4
|
area, is that correct?
|
|

|
JUDGE CARTER: Yes. I haven't any particular
|
|
6
|
quarrel with the statewide election. I haven't given
|
|
7
|
very much thought to that. When you gear this back into
|
|
8
|
your personnel of your nominating committee, it seems to
|
|
9
|
me it could well result in the selection of your appellate
|
|
10
|
judges in both courts from your urban areas without any
|
|
11
|
representation from your rural areas. I don't think that;
|
|
12
|
is particularly healthy or a profitable result in the
|
|
13
|
statewide area.
|
|

THE CHAIRMAN: I think Judge Prescott has ex-
|
|
15
|
pressed the thought that there is astute advantage to
|
|
16
|
having judges from different areas of the State because
|
|
17
|
of the probability of their familiarity with the local
|
|
18
|
problems, local decisions.
|
|

JUDGE BRUNE: If I may offer one bit of more
|
|
20
|
or less history, Mr. Chairman: At the time when the bond
|
|
21
|
amendment was proposed, there was considerable discussion
