delegates to expect, and will thank
you very much to urge some action
to be taken by your officials, If they
have not already.

lowing to say Of Judge Henderson:
The announcement comes as a
surprise, for it has been generally
understood that Judge Henderson
had the matter under advisement
for some days and his many friends,
not only in this Immediate section,
but all over the State, have been
urging him to become a candidate.
Judge Henderson served as a
special Judge on the Supreme Bench
for several months during Judge
Wilkes Illness. He was appointed

Is Judge Wilkes, whose seat he
filed with much credit until the
death Of Judge Wilkes few weeks
ago. He was very prominently
mentioned in connection with the
appointment of a successor to
Judge Wilkes, though he never pre-
'sented any application for the po-
ssltion.
