son held by him as magistrate t

trict court, and in nine-tenths o
the cases conviction followed. Ii
1889 Judge Sinnott represented thii
county in the constitutional con
vention, as republican, and il
that body, when as portisan step
the republican wing tried to de,
prive Gilmore county of her just
legislative apportionment, Sinnott
bolted the caucus, and by filibus-
tering and cooperating with the
Democratic wing, secured for Ell
more county her present represent
alton. After some years of hard
study, under adverse circumstances
and in the cab of switch engine
he was admitted to the bar in 1891
In the fall of 1913, meeting with ad-
verse circumstances beyond his
control, he again went into the rail
way service as stationary engin-
Ger, but participating in the 1894
strike he was discharged. He is
now justice of the peace at Glenn's
Ferry. After the '94 strike he joined
the ranks Of the Populists and was
soon put into important positions
in that party. All people who be-
lieve in unfolding the dignity of
labor should work for the election
of Judge Sinnott-and they will.
JUDGE j. S. WHITE,
Nominee for Probate Judge, is a
solid Silver Republican, and for the
past year has creditably performed
the duties of Probate Judge with
both ability and dignity. Judge
White is an old-timer in this sec
ton of the State. In early days he
was justice of the peace for two
terms at Shoshone, and before the
creation of Gilmore county was dep
uty sheriff under Sheriff Furey of
old Alturas-all of which positions
he filled with honor and credit.
Like the preceding nominees, Judge
White is workingman and has
engaged in farming and freighting.
While somewhat advanced in years
he is remarkably bright, and at the
same time plain, unassuming gem
tleman who can look back to days
gone by as portion of a life well
spent. Like Judge Nicholson, our
candidate for Representative, Judge
White served during the war Of '61
in the Union army, and was hon
orably discharged after a good sold
ier's career. AS an officer he has
always been above criticism, above
reproach and without fear or favor,
and as man, the very essence OF
honor. Elect J. S. White for Pro-
bate Judge, and he will see that the
property of widows and orphans is
protected.
