New York, Oct. 27.--With both

opinions turned out by him is equal
to the number credited to any Ore
gon Judge for many years.
Judge Kings place is sought by
George H. Burnett, nominee of the
Republican assembly and conse-
quently believer in political meth
ods as a means of choosing the men
who are to have the last say admin
istering the law. Judges King,
Slater Moore and Mcbride not only
have the work before the supreme
court well in hand and the organi-
zation of the supreme court well
perfected but believe in these prin-
.ciples:
"The supreme court is the last
place that should be used for the
purpose of party rewards"
political influences only impair
the dignity, purity and independence
of the court"
Jury lists are chosen without re-
gard to party; there is no more
reason for inQuiring into the politics
of a Judge than into a jurors"
The argument for non-political
judiciary is an appeal to patriotism
There is no good reason why good
judges should be put off the bench
on account of politics and other
Judges put on the bench in their
stead on account of politics. If you
believe in non-partisanship in the
supreme court you are respectfully
invited to vote for these four pres
ent judges.

Chicoutimi, Que, Oct. 27t-Armed
with ahidavits to show they really
broke all records by landing 1855
miles from ST. Louis, Alan Hawley
and Augustus Post, pilot and aide of
the balloon AmeDca H., left here to-
day for Quebec whence they will
make their way back to st. Louis.
Before leaving Hawley and Post
commissioned trappers to locate and
recover the gas bag of the America
II. from the slope near Lake Tshish-
tigama, where the balloon landed.
Almost the entire population of
Chicoutimi witnessed the departure
of the aeronauts, giving them rous-
ing send-on.
Hawley and Post declared they had
bully trip. At no stage of the race
we're they alarmed, they said, In
spite of the fact that when they
landed they we're practically out of
provisions. They fought their way
through the wilderness for four days
before they reached the camp of Jack
Matthias, at st. Ambrose. From
there they were brought to Chicou-
timi In a canoe. They said they had
suffered none, but lived on short ra-
tions until they reached the camp OF
the hunters.
Until they encountered snow
storm late Wednesday, AS hours af-
ter leaving st. Louis, Hawley and
Post were confident of being able to
reach the extreme coast of Labrador.
The storm was too much for them,
however, and, selecting an unnamed
peak, they descended. The landing
was easy, they said. That night they
spent in the balloon basket. Next day
they debated the gas bag and set out
on the return journey,
