The judicial Election .

The election for judges of the Tenth
Judicial circuit is progressing quietly,
very light vote being polled at each of
the several voting places in Rock Island
There appears to be no opposition to the
candidates, which it was thought until
today were the popular choice of the PEG
pie generally irrespective OF politics or
party. But when the tickets appeared in
the field they were headed as in
all contested elections, with the
words republican ticket in bold
letters. This caused many democrats who
would otherwise have voted the ticket, to
''stay at home" The understanding was,
and always has been, that in judicial
election in this district at least politics
should play no part whatever.
The proper plan would theref ore have
been to have headed the ticket simply
with Judicial ticket" and it would have
been accepted unanimously by democrats
as well as republicans.
