Hon. III. III. Keith departed by the
morning train for home. He has made
a tour of considerable extent in the
county and met with a warm reception
and much encouragement OF support on
the coming election and consequently
feels highly gratified over the prospect.
1t goes without saying that Mr.. Keith's
qualifications for the Office and his effort
to elevate the Judiciary above politics
and political influences, commends his
non partisan candidacy to all intelligent
voters. Besides the high considerations,
Mr.. Keith's personal acquaintance in
Lake county and his efforts in behalf OF
Lake county enterprises, finds a respon-
sive endorsement in the minds Of many
appreciative citizens in this community.
1t is naturally to be expected he should
receive a large vote in this county.
