FOR DISTRICT COURT JUDGES FOR
THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT:
A. 6. Norreu and A. y. Cherry.


The above is the ticket nominated by
the Democratic judicial convention of
the Third judicial district which was
held in Salt Lake yesterday to nominate
candidates to succeed Hon. LIE Grande
Young and Hon. Andrew Howat, who
were elected to the Third district bench
last year and VINO resigned, their places
being filed by appointment by Gov
ernor Wells The nominees of yester-
days convention will oppose the gov
errors appointees in the campaign,
Judges Street and Ritchie, who have
been nominated by the Republican
party.
Unlike the scramble for the nomina-
tons which marked the Republican jul
dicial conventions, mat of yesterday
was most harmonious gathering. 1t
was conducted with all that dignity and
absence Of scramble for office which
should characterize judicial contests
and was brought to a close by the can
6idates being made the unanimous
nominees of the convention. The uneH-
pected happened, however, and those
who were thought to be in the lead up
to the day before, fell short of having
the strength their friends looked for,
while Ghose who were considered to be
at best not better than second in the
race, were nominated on the first bal
lot, Judge Norrell receiving Sc votes of
the 80 votes in the convention, and
Judge Cherry 81. Waiter Murphy and
c. J. Pence, who had been considered
the favorites, received. 40 and II votes
respectively.
Of the seven candidates mentioned in
The Herald yesterday as being in the
field, all were placed in nomination be-
fore the convention except Joseph Hurd.
S. w. Darke presided both as temper
airy and permanent chairman. There
was but little oratory displayed, owing
to the adoption of a one-minute rule in
making nominating speeches and the
qualifications of the respective candi-
dates were briefly and tersely stated
by their friends. Early in the proceed
ings a resolution was adopted declar-
ing that the nominees Of the conven-
ton be considered pledged that If elect
ed they would serve the full term of
office unless something unforeseen hap

address the convention on the business
before it.
Judge Darke referred to the nominees
of the last judicial convention Of the
Third district and paid them a high

were.
