JUDGE w. H. WINCHESTER was
elected to the bench in 1880 and
in point of service, has the dis
tinction of being the oldest dis
trict judge in North Dakota. His
territory has been very large and
his work correspondingly hard of
late years, but owing to the divi-
sion of the 9th judicial district
and the creation of the 10th out
of the old territory, comprising
the counties west of the Missouri
river, the court work will be more
easily cared for after this year.
The judicial chambers of the dis
trict east of the river will remain
at Bismarck and it is generally
conceded that Judge Winchester
will be reelected to his 9th sue
cessive term the coming fall. He
has proven himself a trial judge
of exceptional wisdom, painstak-
ing and ever willing to put him
self out to accommodate the
people.

gen Making Gains In
Senatorial Race.
.EMlNENTlY WELL QUALIFIED,

Col. c. B. Little of Bismarck is making
a good showing in the senatorial race and
is making new friends wherever he goes.
Even his opponents concede his eminent
qualifications. The PRESS takes pleas
ure in presenting his portrait and the fol-
lowing biographical sketch:
Col. c. B. Little wa bornin Pembroke.

OF age. He spent his early life upon his

in 1881. After a years attendance in the
Harvard law school he took Horace Gree
ley's advice and "came west," and arriv-
ing in Bismarck in 1882, he began the
practice of law. In 1884 he was elected
judge of the probate court and was reel
ected in 1886. Governor Gilbert A.
Pierce in 1885 appointed him Inspector
general of the Dakota militia with the
rank of colonel. He served for. three
years. On the admission of North Dako-
ia to the union he was elected state sena-
tor from Burleigh county and has served
in that position continuously since that
time.
During all this time he has been chair
man of the judiciary committee, which
has given him an opportunity to shape
the most important Legislation in this
state. He was president pro tempore of
the senate in the session of 18o6-o7. He
served on the republican state central
committee for seven years and was chair
man of the state convention in 1893. He
was president of the city board.o of educa-
ton for two terms. In 1886 he was made
president of the Capital National. bank.
In 1895 he purchased a controlling inter-

solidated the two under'his own. manage

making public addresses, yet he has a
fluent tongue and his logical statements
are tersely made in clear language. He
is a skillful parliamentarian and no one
is more completely at home on the legis-
lative floors. 1t is in committee work where
most legislation is decided and perfec-
ted that Col. Little is strongest and where
his abilities are best displayed. One
good committeeman is worth half a doz-

The Dickinson press., 1908-04-11

IT will be gratifying to a large
number of voters in Stark county
to know that Senator L. A. Simp-
son has consented to become a
candidate for reelection. He
has already served IL years in the
state Legislature, two terms each
in the senate and house, and has
a state wide reputation for ability
to secure important legislation.
Senator Simpson is not only alert
at all times to secure the best
things for his constituency, but he
has the power of oratory which
enables him to carry out his work
to a triumphant finish in the halls
of the legislature. On his return
to the senate next January for
a third term of four years, there
will be but two members in the
upper house, longer in service,
ahead of our local senator. The
republican voters, as we'll as demo-
Gratis, of the 31st. district, COM
prising Stark county, are practi-
cally unanimous in the desire to
see Senator Simpson return. Few
legislative districts possess the
equal of the Dickinson attorney
for senatorial honors.

That the D. S. Johnston Co. is re-

which Tacoma wholesale establish

they are shipping to this city for the

most excellent assortment of high
grade instruments ever shown in this

1t is generally recognized as fact
that the d. S. Johnston company has
sold the majority of pianos and Or
