Candidacy of Judge Wright.

Judge Wright is carefully and
effectually canvassing the district
for his reelection. He has most
honorably served one term and a
half, and was about to enter as he
hoped on the second term, which
is SO rightly due him, when a
grasping Legislature, in their at
tempt to create places, changed
this judicial district, removing
Perry County, and putting on
Gallia, Meigs and Vinton. This
makes the district about 1900 re-
publican normally, This, indeed,
does not battle the friends of
Judge Wright. They have insis-
ted on his being candidate just
the same, and now he is before
the people in this campaign.
He has risen from struggling
boy on farm and in the clay
banks of Hooking, to the eminent
position upon the judicial bench.
He has worked hard, has built a
home for his little family and
spends his salary in this county.
1t is certainly a pride of every
voter in Hooking to vote for our
home Judge. If his opponent is
elected, Fairfield County will
have two judges and Hooking
none. Vote for your home man.
Bring that $4,000 per year salary
here, and not pile it all into one
county. Judge Wright should
come out of Hooking County with
1000 majority.
