...insist upon 'a Southern man' for President, it is only because the politicians force us to so describe him. The real basis of our particular claim is that a great section of the Union, rapidly advancing in population, wealth and consequence to the prosperity and perpetuity of the nation, has been definitely and persistently denied political equalities for three successive generations. . . . It is our sincere conviction that the country at large is ripe for such a political innovation...
...first plenary Conference session revealed the assininity of those who thought that open flaying of any nation was to be openly arrived at. Promptly the Cuban president of the Conference, Judge Antonio de Bustamante of the Hague Court, ruled that despite the "publicity" resolution the ordinary canons of procedure would apply.

...which the picture of a tyrannical and brutal trial judge occupies the most lurid position in the public mind. Especially the prosecutions in Ireland toward the close of the eighteenth century at the crucial stage of the American legal system threw its dark cloud upon the young nation looking for guidance. Consequently, in view of the abominations perpetrated under the name of the common law judges of Great Britain and the popular prejudice of the times against them, it is small wonder that the American attitude of regarding the unrestrained common law judge as a partisan monster should be formulated...
