JUDGE SHERMAN PAGE. the disturbing
element OF the 10Th judicial district, is
laid on tie shelf, for the next seven years
at least. The old villain failed to carry
a single county in the district. We don't
know how much Of his ''swag" Bulb

JUDGE PAGE Was at last overtaken, IN

the Nemesis of the ballot box; and u
majority IT over 100, 10 favor of John
