REFLECTIONS CAUSE COMMENT.
One Democrat Thinks the Circuit
Judges Inconsistent.

The rejection by the Circuit Judges of
five of the men selected by Sheriff Dick
mann as his deputies has created some
protest I'm Democratic circles. The Judges,
all OF whom are Republicans. are not re-
qured TO make public the reason for their
refusal TO approve the appoiniees Of the
Sheriff. and that is one OF the principal
grievances held by the Democrats against
their action.
In discussing the matter yesterday,
prominent Democrat said: 81 should not
care TO indulge in any criticism of the ac-
ton Of the Judges. but IL strikes me as
little peculiar that some of Sheriff Dick
rnann's appOintees should be rejected after
the acceptance OF Mike Churchill as Con-
stable to succeed Ben Brady. Churchill Is
a Republican OF TIE Chris Schawacker
type. In fact, he is a protege of Chris. He
is also the proprietor OF a saloon in a dis
trict that is not by any means a peaceful
valley.
II understand that the objection to
some Of the sheriffs rejected appointees
was that they were or had been In the
past bartenders. Surely that's no worse
than being the proprietor Of a saloon
