Stephen A. Flaherty is elected
iudgeo Of the Sixteenth judicial dis
trict by handsome majority.
Stevens county did not give Mr..
Flaherty as large majority as was
due him in his home county but when
we consider BY what narrow mar
gin the county ticket got through,
the result is gratifying. We are
especially grateful to Pope county
for its fine majority, but there is no
county except Stevens but raised the
conservative estimates Of FlahertY's
majority.
Now that the campaign Is over, we
reiterate what has been said before

herty's ability through 9 campaign
