Police Judges Race is The
Most Interesting.
Cross Has Organization Behind Him
but Puryear Has Record TO
Make Race On.
FRIENDS SHOULD TURN OUT.

Tomorrow the Democrats hold
their primary for city officers, and
while there is not much interest be-
ing taken in the primary as a whole,
there is a good deal of interest in the
judgeship.
There are only two candidates for
this Office, the incumbent, Edward II.
Puryear, and Attorney Dave Cross,
and the race promises to be well
fought. Mr.. Cross has been making
an active campaign, but Judge Pur-
year has not been able to do so, on
account of his duties and is stand
ing on his splendid record he has
made in his short incumbency.
He has a host of we'll wishing
friends, however, and they contend.
II all of them will turn out tomorrow
he will be nominated. They point to
his record in Office and claim, with
the evidence seemingly to attest the
statement, that he has done more
to cause respect for the majesty of
the law" than any city Judge We have
had in years.
Cross friends, on the other hand,
contend he has the race won. He has
an organization Of supporters who
are workers and Old hands at the po-
litical game, and the contests promise
some interest. The Democratic ring
opposed Judge Puryear's appointment
by Mayor Yeiser.
