Thus far we can learn OF no form
idalle opposition to Judge M. j.
McCann for the position of County

Judge McCann possesses the qualitica-
tons for the position which the new
Constitution imposes in an eminent de-
gree, and, if elected, he will wear the
judicial ermine with honor to himself
and credit to the people.
