NO pARrlsANsHIp I'M JuDGEsHIP.

Nomination papers soliciting Judge j.
J. Frui,, to become non partisan candi-
date for the circuit bench on which he Is
now serving by appointment, caused by
the death of the late lamented Judge
Wyman, are now in circulation among
members of the bar in this city, and We
doubt not elsewhere IN this circuit. So
far as expression goes we believe Judge
Fruits brief services on the bench have
been acceptable to the public and bar,
and there is in this a satisfactory reason
why ne should be continued and receive
an cleo ton without opposition. Judge
Fruit has demonstrated his ability to
preside with dignity, coupled with a
disposition 20 weigh carefully and act
Justly in all matters presented in his
court during his brief term OF service.
Nomination papers are also in circu-
lation calling upon Associate Justice
Dodge, of the supreme bench, to accept
another term. Notwithstanding the fact
that Wisconsin has republican major
ity of more than 100, 900 there will prob
ably not be a display of craftsmanship,
and sIr Dodge II probably be re-elect-
ed without opposition. he is demo
crat of the old fashioned, offensive par
tisan variety.

MR.. DAHL's ROAD BILL.

the various townships. 1t proposes to
change the whole system of road coz
troll Each town is made a road district.
T his is complete change, as now there
may be several districts in town; each
under pathmaster. The new plan is to
have three commissioners in each town,
elected by the town board, to be paid
81 50a man while actually at work
They arctic make ont itimized state
ments of expenses and paesent to the
town boards. Roads shall be worked
between May Goth and June Goth and
October tst and the LIST of November.
The commissioners are enabled to get
money as they may need it from the
town clerk instead of the town board
thus facilitating work Other changes
require 16-foot roa.dways on side-hills
and elsewhere and also that bridges be
of that width Nh. Dahl presented the
measure by request but regards 1t as
having many good points.
