The call which is being circulated
asking Judge Winslow to be a candi-
date for reelection to the supreme

among men of all parties. This is as
it should be. Judge Winslow has
proved that he possesses all the fitness
for the place which those who knew
him as circuit judge expected. At these
times when the court is overWorked it
would be poor policy to change tried
and experienced judge for new one.
The news Of another bold robbery
perpetrated Thursday morning, gives
strength to the belief that the thieves
are right to home at Twin Lakes. This
time the light fingered gentry got in
their work at Ackerman's hotel where
a gang Of fifty or more ice cutters are
stationed at present. One Bob Clark,
known as an all around sport, who at
present is engaged on the ice, but at
times has worked as bartender at the
hotel, retired as usual Wednesday even
ing, and when he got up Thursday
his pants had disappeared and also, as
he claimed, his pocketbook containing
1927 in money. A close search and
much questioning failed to revail where
it had gone to, the fact only remaining
that it had been stolen and disappeared
entirely. At Lind's hotel recently one
Andrew Yunker had new overcoat
stolen, valued at $25, also with no clew
to the thief.
So uthward Ho!
