Race for Judge.


 Following the endorsement of Judge Evelyn c Maxwell for the District Federal Judge by Senators Mallory and Taliaferro, today came the informa- tion that District Attorney w. B. Shep- pard, who Is Republican and bac ked by the machine, had been endorsed by Governor Napoleon B. Broward and many of the State officials at Talla- hAssee. as well as by members of the Psnsaccla bar.
 Tho vacancy caused by the death of Judge Charles Swayne has caused much interest to be manifested in his sue cessor. Prior to his endorsement by the two Florida Senators, 1t was not expected that Judge Maxwell would be looked upon as a strong candidate. considering the fact that Mir. Sheppard has the strong Florida machine behind him.
 Judge Maxwell's chances, however, have been greatly weakened by the oL- dorsement of the Governor of the State of MT. Sheppard and bN the endorse ments. not only of the local bar, but also of many counties in the district
