The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-05-23
Capt. John C. Pepper.

We hope every reader of THE ARGUS
will vote for this gentleman as one OF the
Circuit Judges to be elected on the End OF
June. None of the candidates are better
qualified for the position or will bring more
legal ability and dignity to the position.
The OQla,oka Spectator says that Capt
Pepper is we'll known throughout the dis
trict, having lived.,in Mercer county for
the last thirty years, and practiced in the
circuit courts of ali the counties in this dis
trict for the last twenty-five years. By
his ability and energy he has raised him
self to the highest rank among the lawyers
of the district, and is we'll qualified for the
position he seeks, and if elected will make
q popular and efficient Judge. The boys
of the old saith Ill. regiment will go solid
for Capt. Pepper"
The Kewanee Independent also says Of
Mr.. Pepper:
He is quiet, unpretending, gentlemanly
in his manner, thoroughly cultivated. q
profound student in his profession, well
posted in current topics, and man who
would do credit to the position for which
he is candidate. He is about fifty years
of age, has given the best years OF his life
to his profession, and ranks among the
ablest lawyers of the state, He ls.in short
man whom our people can vote for with
every assurance that their confidence will
not be misplaced, or that they will have
cause to regret having done so. He uses
neither tobacco nor intoxicating drinks il
any form, and his private character ii
above reproach. In Mercer county, where
he has lived for many years, he will re
ceive the solid support of eli parties, anC
though he is and always has been demo
crat, he is regarded as so pre- eminently
fitted for a judicial position that the Rec
ord, the republican organ of that county
was the first to present his name to tn
public, and has labored for months to sc
cure his nomination and election.

medicine at the first opportunity.

question from political standpoint We
argued it from a judicial one. On referr-
