voters, how does that work?

|
MR. WINTERS: What do you mean, straw vote?
|
|

|
MRS. BOTHE: This may be only in the Niles
|
|
4
|
plan.
|
|
5
|
MR. MARTINEAU: It is true in other states
|
|
6
|
too.
|

|
THE CHAIRMAN: I understand many other states
|
|
8
|
have this system, that they also provide for a straw
|
|
9
|
vote of the lawyers to be made public, to advise the
|
|
10
|
public as to how the lawyers feel about this particular
|
|
l1
|
judge.

MR. WINTERS: The best ones are those that
|
|
13
|
have been done in the State of Ohio, several of the
|
|
14
|
large city associations there conduct polls and they
|
|
15
|
have a list of about a dozen questions asking for opinion
|
|
16
|
on this man's integrity, on his knowledge of the law,
|
|
17
|
his courtesy to the people who appear before him and so
|
|
18
|
forth. And those are weighted questions. I remember
|
|
19
|
that in most of them, integrity is given 50 per cent
|
|
20
|
weight, and I think promptness 10 per cent, or other
|
|
21
|
variations.
