DISTRICTS ENFORCEMENT.
Judge Moore Has People With Him
for disappointment.

OF all the eight district judges
whose terms expire next January,
making necessary an appointment
by the governor to fill a vacancy OF
one year, under the new biennial cleo
ton law, none will have stronger
endorsements for re-appointments
than Judge o. L. Moore of the Eighth
district. Judge Moore, who lives at
Abilene, has been on the bench OF
that district Tor eight years and has
been SO satisfactory and popular an
official that at his reelection four
years ago to second term the oppo-
sition put no candidate in the field
and he was chosen unanimously.
The sentiment seems equally favor
able to his appointment by the gov
ernor for the vacancy and is general
in all counties Of the district -Geary,
Morris, Marion and Dickinson coun-
ties.
In his home county, Dickinson, the
last Republican county convention
adopted this resolution:
"In q few months an appointment
OF nudge for one year will be necessary
in this district in accordance with
the biennial election law; we there
fore endorse for the appointment
Judge O. L. Moore who SO ably occu-
pies the bench in the Eighth Judicial
district, and has won the esteem and
respect OF bar and public"
He also is endorsed by all the indi'
vidual members of the Republican
county central committee, all the
county officers, but one, irrespective
Of party and nearly all the members
Of the bar.
Geary county's Republican conven
ton adopted a similar resolution tt
the above; all Of the county officers
nearly all Of the bar and all the off
cers of the central committee have
given their formal endorsements.
All the members Of the centra
committee of Marion county have
asked for his appointment, as did als'
the committee in Morris. All thu
Morris county officers and every mem
ber Of the bar have also joined in tn
application for his appointment. Th'
bar association of that county adopted
the following memorial to the gov
ernor, all the members signing 1t:

ernor Of Kansas:
