Ellingham v. Dye – Indiana, 1912 (99 N.E. 1); Ohio Constitutional Convention of 1912
| William Jennings Bryan (courtesy Wikimedia Commons) "The judge, like every other officer, is the servant of the people and there is no reason why he should be made independent of a permanent public opinion upon questions fundamental in character. ... The people are much more apt to deal justly with judges than they are to receive justice at the hands of judges who distrust the intelligence and the good intent of the masses." - William Jennings Bryan, addressing Ohio's 1912 constitutional convention |
