-
The Ashland Press publishes a call to
Judge Clough, to become a candidate for
circuit judge, from Bayfield, County, headed
by Col. knight, Tate and Chapman and one
from Ashland County signed BY w. NJ Tom
kins and others. The Polk County Press also
publishes call signed by some l75 citizens
of that comfy.
We have seen no calls to Judge Barron
published. but learn he has received one from
Chippewa County signed by ex-Gov Pound
ex-senator Bingham and others, including,
every lawyer in the county, some thirteen.
From the Ashland Press.
A call has been circulated in this place,
and signed by most of our citizens, request
ing Hon. Scion H. Clough to be a candidate
for reelection to the office of Circuit judge
at the coming spring election We know the
Judge to be an upright and capable man, well
qualified to fill the position, and we believe
he will receive hearty support from the cit.
,zens of Ashland county.
From the Eau Claire Free Press.
Petitions are being numerouslv circulat.
ed in Polk county, asking Senator Barron to
permit his name to be used as candidate for
Circuit Judge. 1t is understood that Judge
ClOugh will also be candidate for re-elec-
ton However, should Senator Barron con-
sent to the use of his name, his election
would be a sure thing.
From tie Hudson Ttar and Times
IT now seems certain that Judge Clough,
the presiding Judge and Hon II. D. Barron,
will be opposite candidates for the iudeship
in the | It'll Circuit, at the coming April cleo
ton. Both gentlemen will run independent
having been called out by the electors irI e
spective ofparty.
The contest will undoubtedly be a warm
one. Judge Clough has been on the bench
there for twelve years, and has made an ex-
cpllent record for ability and uprightness
On the other hand Judge Barron has long
been an especial favorite of the people of
that section, winning their approval by the
fidelity and success with which he has lepre.
scented them in both branches of the legisa-
ture. 1t is our opinion, based, however, on
ly upon general knowledge of the situation,
that Judge Barron will be the successful can
didate.
The Polk County Press is out for Judge
Barron for Circuit Judge, and its editor writes
from Madison.
Judge Clough is here and will remain few
DAYS. He is candidate for re election and
Judge Barron is also candidate for the
Judgeship. Judge Barron is graduate of a
New York law school of high standing, and
will feel at home again, if placed upon the
Bench, and given the society of his law hooks
and law pratce. After Senator Barron
graduated at the law school he had success
I'll practice for time, until his attention
and time was taken up with legislative duties
| and official work at Washington. He was for
| short time Judge of the old Sth circuit,
holding terms at Hudson, Eau Claire, and
at OsceOla, where there was at each place a
large calendar. His success and ability was
complemented by resolutions of the Bar at
Hudson and Eau Claire.
From the Taylors Falls Jou7ual:-The
friends of Judge Clough are moving to secure
his nomination for re-elec ion to the office OF
Judge OF the Circuit Ccuit so far we have
not learned whether he will become cand-
date or not. HIS services have be not on Y
satisfactory to one haff of the liugants, one
half never are satisfied, )but also to the great
mass of the people who by reason of di-in
terestedness, are better qualified to properly
estimate the merits of Judge; courteous
and kind in the discharge of all his duties h.
has secured friend in every attorney practc
ing in his courts.
We see also by the papers that Senator
Barron has received invitations from sundry
persons to become cand date. Should he
consent he will make strong candidate to
pull against, as he is very popular and tho
roughly acquainted with the people, and bis
know ability as lawyer and legislator would
draw heavily for the nomination.
