Who Shall Succeed Judge Newer on the
Superior Court Bench7
There is no one so capable, by every
mark of preparation, and no one SO de-
serving, as the distinguished Judge
R. P. Buxton, of Cumberland. His
life of strict morality, decided integrity
and fidelity to duty, being always a
jealous champion in the cause of
right, his great ability and legal expe-
rience, places him above his fellows, a
power for ~lstice and a brilliant orna-
ment to our judiciary. The people Of
the Seventh district should acknowl.
edge the fitness of the man, and honor
themselves i'm honoring him.-A. D. M.
