Supreme Judgeship.

positions than any other. This il the
non-partlsan ticket and there will be
quite an array Of names in some judicial
districts and good representation on

Judge il generally little known outside
his own district. An exception to this
rule il found in Judge :. j, Chadwick Of
Whitman county, but Judge Chadwick
was once member of the board of state
land commissioners and has attained a
very wide acquaintance throughout the
state. Familiarity ofname, place on the
ticket and the wishes Of the bar of the
state will have an important bearing
and will be important factors in the Sc
lection of the supreme court judges.
The two Of the three Judges whose
terms expire this year and who are
candidates for reelection, Judge Milo A.
Root and Judge Herman d. Crow, it is
known have the confidence, respect and
good wishes OF the great majority of the
lawyers Of the state. They also have
the advantage of having had their
names favOrably before the public for
more than three years, they having been
on the bench that length of time. In
addition, Judge Crow was member OF
several legislatures and gained many
friends in that way. Judge Root prac.

years after leaving Olympia, and widen

Rules for Filing.

The law leaves the above matter to
the discretion OF the county auditor, but
in order to secure uniformity the various
county auditors at their last annual
convention adopted the following
method
As soon as a declaration is received for
filing it is to be stamped with a number
ing machine, the exact date, hour and
minute noted on it and then entered on
the reception book in the same manner
as any other instrument
Where there are two or more caudi-
dates for the one office the said candi
dates are earnestly urged to meet and
arrange either by lot or otherwise for
the order Of the filing Of their decla
ratiOns.
The auditor will file and place on the
official ballot, however, the names of the
candidates in the order Of their reception.
To that end the Office will be opened at 8
O'Clock a. IN. and the candidate, or his
