JUpoE WASHER has disregarded the advice Of
The Post, respectfully and in perfect good faith
rendered the other day, and continues in the
race for county judge as the candidate Of the

the judge has ignored sound advice and will not
come down, there remains but one thing to do
and that is for the people at the polls next
month to put him down And they can be relied
on TO do that very thing, unless The Post misses
its guess. And he ought to be put down, He
