There is no present opposition to

| judicial convention, circular has been
issued by the Democratic county
committee of this county, suggesting
that the county convention recommend
Judge Webber, and have his name
placed on the tickets of both parties
without the formal action of judicial
convention. This step is we'll deserved
by the high standing and character Of
Judge Weber and the universal yer.
dict Ct approval which he has earned
on the bench. The circular is as fol
lows:
| DctI oil 1Ou are uOQUGlcSS tWbEe
that at the present time no judicial or
ganization exists in our district. [ am
officially advised by the Republican
judicial committee that in view of the
fact that there is but one sentiment in
regard to the present incumbent being
renominated by the people, no regular
convention will be called by them:
Believing that the people demand
that the Bench shall at least be free
from partizan politics, the wishes Of
Lyon, Nicollet, Redwood and Brown
county Democrats have been obtained
as far as practicable and there seems te
be an almost unanimous sentiment that
the Hon, B. E. Weber should be re.
nominated by the people.
Understanding that the Democracy
of Lyon county have already endorsed
Judge Weber, [ would suggest as the
wish of the Democracy that at your
next county convention you bring the
matter up, that the Democracy may
show the people that we are willing tc
meet the sentiment at least half way.
Respectfully
G. w. III. HEIDEMAN,
Chairman Brown Co. Democratic
Committee. Sleepy Eye Herald.
