The Democratic judicial convention
IS now the center of attraction to the
people of this city and the two coun-

time If they nominate 2 good judicial
ticket they will probably sweep the
Republican stronghold Of the territory

rnfirs Judges than it had expected to
get this year.
Everything looks promising to the
Democrats. From one end of the street

Condemnation Of the Republican judi
cial ticket. Not one member of the bar
spoken to by representatives of The

like w. S Mccormick and Richard
Macintosh, as we'll as a number of
others whose names cannot be used,
readily pledged their support to

of men We're put up. at is infamous"
said Mr. Macintosh, when speaking of
the Republican ticket yesterday. That
sentiment found an echo in the heart
of every man who has the interests
of the district at heart
D. S WhitehOrne. one of the dele

he had learned The Herald had given

Nelson. I'VE asked for recognition in
the convention and didn't get it.

That's the dead Republican judicial

Jim Kennedy said it was all a joke
He said he had $10e to bet that the
men would not run. He said the Re
publican party just put up a huge sell
on the people of the town, and that
pretty soon the men would be called
off the ticket and good men would be
put up. He approached prominent Re
puhlieans with this bet but they We're
all too sore TO take it. None of them
were prepared to admit it was not
