Patterson Explains Position In Montana Judges Case
The Missoula dispute between Judge John F. Patterson and Judge Theodore Lentz over the district judgeship drew lawyers and others in Butte. Patterson asserts his governor appointed term through January 1917, sought a quiet adjudication, and filed for election to avoid future questions. He claims the election was void and that he is entitled to hold the office for the full term, with the matter requiring Supreme Court determination on term length and constitutionality.
