The campaign should be conducted with the dignity and integrity required of the office. There should be no references to ethnic groups, religions, sex, political or other issues, which tend to stir up the emotions or impugn the candidate's capabilities for functioning impartially and without bias. There should be no dramatized presentations, either verbal or pictorial, using props such as jail doors, guns, or any other indicia of sensationalism. A candidate, who is an incumbent judge, may use his picture in campaign material in judicial robes and may be pictured sitting on the Bench. However, such a picture may be used only in campaign material limited to statements of his candidacy and his qualifications for office.
