Judge John J March. in company
with Henry Tilson. made us pleas
ant call on old settlers day The
conduct OF Bates county affairs for
thirty years demonstrates that she
has had some most excellent county
Judges, but she has never had a more
painstaking, conscientious. conser
vative Judge than John March. No
measure is passed or hill allowed
without his closest scrutiny. He is
even more particular with the coun
tvs affairs than with his own. As
long as the people of Bates county
continue to elect such men 10 the
public offices. they need have no fear
of the result. Judge March will be
elected by an increased majority
serve his second term as faithfully as
he has his first. and his people may
conclude to call him up higher.
