County Judge Howard Benton has
announced that he will not again be
a candidate for the place, and his
name will not appear on the judicial
ballot at the coming spring election.
The Judge has accepted very com
Portable position, and will not again
seek judicial honors. The withdraw
al of Mr.. Benton leaves the local
field clear for Mr.. W. FL. Irish, and
he will receive almost the solid sup
port of this city. Mr.. Irish has.
assurances that the outside towns
are also in line, and it seems that.
there can be no possible question
about his election. The only thing
that could possibly be against him
would be in the event of the judicial
ballot not being voted by the electors,
but this will be taken care of. Every
town 10 the county will give Mr.
| Irish a good vote, and his election
by big majority can be pat down
as certainty.
