he was aa.candidate for reelection. altho
ne was one Of the best judges that Min

voted Tor him just a little stronger than
she did she would not now be lanenting
her E,lack Of representation on our big

Brown, "a, 81 s; Lewis: Il, s1s; CAVITY, H.
$50; Mitchell, 16,061; Buck, 10; s16.- Judge
ganty was. only 1904 votes behind Judge
Lewis" on the total vote, and he got nearly
5000 plurality over Lewis in Hennepin
county. While this: IS not feather. in
