In that posi- tion his work, in writing opinions, is the same as that of a judge. His experience in that regard, therefore, renders him especially available as a candidate for the judgeship. His opinions have at- tracted the attention of the law- yers of the state, and by reason of . their brevity, fairness: and accur- acy of expression, have been con- sidered by many as, models. ‘During the threé years that he has been a member of the court he has been assigned and written his full proportionate share of the cases disposed af by the court dur- ing that time. ~As shown by the published volumes of the supreme court reports, all of his opinions, except one, have been adopted by the court, which is considered a remarkable record in that regard, and is convincing proof, of his qualifications for the office to which he seeks to be elected. “Williams is in the ‘prime of life and is considered wonderfully equipped, both ‘ mentally and physically, to perform the arduous duties of this high office. He was born on a farm in Indiana, in which state he received his educa- tion, first attending the common schools and later De Pauw Uni- versity, where he graduated with the degree Ph. B.
