of the coming eIeotion-the election
Of Supreme Court Judge. The person
elected holds the Office for ten years.
A failure to elect the right man will
not alone be y serious mistake; it
will be q serious blunder.
Voters of Wisconsin,, do not fail to
come out on election day aud vote
for Judge Orsamus Cole. He is every
way worthy of your vote. No rea-
son has been given. none can be
given for putting new man on the
Supreme Court bench in place of
Judge Cole. His ripe experience as
. judge of that court, his well-known
integrity, his uniform impartiality,
render him an eminently fit and
proper person for the Office.

1t will be observed that the slgner

the respect for the highest iudicis
tribunal in the state--a total disrng gar |
of partisan considerations in ell citing
members of the Supreme Go rt.--
Every member of the court has beer,

Jackson, who had required the deposit
