Congress, and Butler for Judge. Petit
bones strikers are telling the people
that Smith don't intend to resign his

are all for Mcfarland, but badly de-

E If Convention is to be held in
this Circuit for the nomination of a can
didate for Judge, we beg to insist that
the people have a fair chance to be rep
resented. A caucus, managed by ring,
or by few politicians and town cliques,
cannot present a candidate who will
have ghost of a chance of success at
the ballot box. If we are to have
Convention let it be held about the first
of July, and let the people be notified in
time to send a delegation from them
selves to select suitable man to serve
them as Judge for the next two years.
