JUDGE LANG WILL RESIGN.
VACANCY IN COUNTY COURT
JUDGESHIP,
His Action Caused by His Candidacy
for the Legislature. Who
for His Successor

In this issue of THE News Judge +.
A. Laing announces that he is a candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
representative.
Judge Laing very properly takes the
view that it is improper to hold one
office while seeking to be elected to an
other, and in his announcement states
that he will resign the judgeship of
the county court. His resignation
will probably be forwarded to the gov
ernor today.
Judge Laing's intentions to resign
will not be generally known until it is
read in THE News, and there
has been no suggestions of applicants
to succeed him There will, however.
probably be no lack of aspirants.
Judge Laing is one of the most prom
lnent members of the Dawson bar. and
would make an able representative.
The race is now between Colonel Ed
wards, Captain Oxford and Judge
LANG, and promises to be an interest
ing one.
