AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.

There is no more important public
office than that of county judge. The
proper discharge Of its duties calls for
wisdom, honesty, and high intelligence.
That the present incumbent Of the
office, Hon Aldro jerks possesses these
necessary qualifications is conceded by
all who know the man. Those who are
familiar with the manner in which he
discharges his official duties know that
he regards public Office as a public
trust.
Not only is Judge jerks possessed Of
a good legal mind, but he has the expe-
rience which is essential in dealing with
the important matters which are
brought before him. The volume Of
business which comes before the county
court is steadily increasing, and the
selection Of judge is, therefore, Of vast
importance. The value Of property in
volved in a single year in the proceed
ings Of the county court represents
many hundreds Of thousands Of dollars,
and the interests Of the orphan, the
widow and the minor are in great
measure in the keeping Of the county
judge. Judge Jenk' past record is an
earnest Of what his future course and
conduct will be He is a man preemi
nently qualified for the Office which he
now holds. AS stated in a former
article in this paper the Democrat has
marked well his career from the time he
studied law in the office of Judge Goth
rem, and that career has been in every
way an honorable one. AS a man,
citizen, lawyer, public official, his
record is unimpeachable. Can more be
said Of anyone? This can be truthfully
said Of Judge jerks, and it is the
reason why his friends have asked him
to stand for reelection.

cally, legally or morally, to vote for the

Primary Election Law such was per
haps the case; as the nomination paper
therein, contained clause stating, that
the signer intended to support the can

binding clause in the nomination paper
in this election. Therefore, the signer
Of a nomination paper is under no obi

the candidate for whom he signed [

cerely thank all those, who did sign my
papers, and also those, who would have

voters, irrespective of political affilia

Mr. HOskins has held several appoint
i've POSITIONS among which are attOr
ney for the city of DOdgeville, and Il
circuit court commissioner since 1880.
He is also a member of the State Bar
Association of this state. Although
quite active in politics, serving at one
time as chairman Of the Republican
County Committee, he has never before
sought a county office. If therefore, he
is elected to the office of county Judge
there is no doubt but that the duties of
the Office will be judicially, economi-
cally and efficiently dispatched. VOTER.
