Judge Griggs to Close His Campaign With
Speech at home.

will occur July 18th, are now less than a
month off, and the indications all point
to an overwhelming victory for Judge

him eleven of the fifteen counties which
compose the district.
Judge Griggs' home people-his
friends and neighbors-desire to hear
him discuss the issues before the can
vass ends, and he has decided to close his
