Party Judicial Convention held III the

Which are now in possession uf the

/ n. Askeland, one Of those who
signed the first paper. is a. Lutheran
minister, residing at kose;.u, and the
other, twenty who signed that PAPER
are members of his congregation.
The second paper is signed by twe"-
ty-seven respectable members ut our
county, mostly populists. The ny
after some of the sigma lures to the
| affidavit stands for Peoples Party.
The papers show how Judge Ives
has acted when he has been holding
court in our county, and we ask you
to consider them carefully. If you
are in doubt as to the truth OF the
charges made therein, investigate
the matter for yourselves. Write to
| Rev. Askeland or to any OF the other
persons who signed those papers, or
come up here and talk to the people
who saw the Judge during the last
term of court, and il you come to as.
certain the truth. and not merely t.,
defend Il man III power, you Will De
convinced that the papers are true.
Do not vote for Judge Ives simply
because he is nominated hy the Peo-
ple's Party convention. The conven.
ton made a mistake, aud the sooner
we correct the blundcr, the better we
are Off We have had enough EXPERT
ence with incompetent officials. The
public will not stand it, much longer
to be ruled by their interiors, and if
we persist in keeping incompetent
and unfit persons in office We ruin
our party.

has been led Ivy and upheld the Jaw
less people of our county; that he
has been drunk many times while
holding court in our county; that by
reason of his drunkenness while

disgraced his Office and shown him
self not worthy of the respect of the,
people. :" :.... ..,..,., t.
