Most lawyers like it because it makes the incumbent judges Judges as well as securing higher caliber men in the new appointees. One lawyer pointed cut that under the new system a judge will dispose of at least 25 per cent more cases-in a campaign year than under the present partisan system whereby he must make many speeches at luncheons and dinners and hold conferences with ward and precinct leaders and so forth. That additional number of cases disposed of in a campaign year in a county the size of Marion County, Indiana, would assume very sizeable proportions, probably hundreds of cases. For the
