Judge Searle has accepted this very
fattering invitation in the following
note:
To the members ofthe bar ofthe Seventh
r. judicial district:
1 am in receipt of your very fattering
request to become a candidate for the
office ofjudge of the Seventh judicial dis
trict. am certainly gratifed at receiv-
ing the endorsement of all the members
of the bar without regard to party affi-
liations. I accept the invitation to be-
come a candidate, without saying more
at this time. ~.
D. B. SEARLE.
The JournaEPress says:
With very fattering unanimity the
members of the bar of the Seventh Judi
cial district have joined in a request to
Judge D. B. Searle to become acandidate
for election to the position on the dis
trict bench which he now holds by an
pointment. The confidence expressed in
this request for his candidacy cannot but
be very, gratifying to Judge Searle. AT
ter service of less than a year ON the
bench, by evident ability, by uniform
courtesy, by unquestioned impartiality.
and by promptness in the dispatch of
business, he has so fully impressed upon
the bar and people of the district his fit
ness to discharge the duties of the posi-
ton he now holds that there has been
but one judgment in the matter, viz.
that he should be his own successor. The
bar has merely voiced the prevailing SEN
timent in this request, and so evident is
this that there will be no necessity for
holding of a republican district conven-
ton. 1t would be needless formalitv.
1t is quite possible also that no demo.
cratic judicial convention will be held. or
nomination made, Both parties, through
their county convention or otherw;se
accepting Judge Searle's candidacy and
providing for the putting of his name on
the general ticket.
1t is no time to figure just now. We
