JUDGE LAUDER
ENDORSES WOLFE
Writes Letter 70 Voters In which
He Advises Election OF 0has,
z. Wolfe for Judao.

Inc Office OF district Judge is
the most important under our
system of government. No other
public Office comes 80 near to the
people or touches them in so
many places. It is therefore of
the utmost Importance to all the
peo' at no mistake be made
in he election of a district Judge.
Under existing law judges are
not nominated by political par
ties. The names of the candi-
dates for district judge will ap-
pear on a seperate ballot, and
will appear without any party
designation. The purpose Of
this non bipartisan judicial law is
to gke the election Of judges
intir1 out Of politics, and, there
fore. M the election Of a district
judge no question of party poli-
tics is involved. The onl yques-
ton to BE- 6on dered fsa that of
the fltnass 81 The candidates TO
AZ the tlce andsperform its du-
+: Twp names will appear on the
Ejudipial ballot as candidates for
Etrict Judge Of this district
namely, Chas. e. Wolfe 81 Wah-
'peton, and Frank P. Allen Of {Ran
som county. I am, and for many
years have been, personally &C.
quainted with both Of these gem
tlemen, and am also we'll acquain
ted with the legal ability and the
general qualifications Of these
men to fill the Office Of district
Judge and I have no hesitation
in saying to the voters of this dis
rict that Of the. two Mr.. Wolfe is
very much the best qualified and
therefore ought to be elected.
Mr.. Wolfe has been a resident
of the fourth judicial district for
thirty-two years. He has been
in the active proctice Of the law
for nearly thirty years. He has
had a wide and varied experience
in the trial Of important cases
in the district courts and in the
supreme court Of the state. AS
q man, he is thoroughly honor
able, upright and straight for.
ward. In addition to his great
legal learning, he has strong ma
tive judgment and a fine sense of
justice. He has a pleasing man
ner and a calm and unrufled tenn
per, and at the same time is an
industrious man in the work he
has to do. Altogether, there is
no man in North Dakota better
qualified by legal learning and
natural qualities to fill the Office
Of district Judge.
1t goes without saying that,
with an able, clear-headed law
yer on the bench, the work of
the court is disposed OF rapidly
and accurately. This is q great
saving in two ways: First, the
expense Of litigation is reduced,
both TO the partiea interested and
to the taxpayers, who pay the 6x-
penses Of maintaining the
courts; and, second, It greatly
lessons the number Of cases ap-
pealed to the higher courts.
For these reasons, and with
out any feeling Of personal hos
tility to Mr.. Allen, the writer be-
lieves that the voters Of his dis
trict, irrespective of party,
should elect Mr.. Wolfe to the po-
sition of district Judge Of this
district.

blood came. She was his. She had
given herself to him. and never had
life called to him as it did now. She
felt his arms and his shoulders harden.

body. and suddenly he held her back

the superhuman efforts he was putting
in this last struggle. time ceased TO ex-

when 1t tinkled off the hour of eight.
Only each time as he turned his eyes,
he saw Isobel Rodney's golden head
shining In the dim lantern glow, her
eyes fixed upon him with love and
faith that drove reason and Judgment
from him. But at last he came to the
end. He came to rocks that he could
not move. and as he strained until
every muscle in his body seemed to
tear themselves asunder. his breath
came in a groaning cry. The girl
