Judge Burke's Race
Unequaled In State
Ran 5000 Ahead Of Ticket;
One out Of every three Demo.
cratic or Progressive voted
for him.

cratic or ProSfoesive voted
for him.
The official count in each of the six
counties Of the 18th judicial district
has been completed and Judge Burke's
majority Is found to be 246.
From an examination Of the figures
it will be seen that the judge made q
race unequaled in the state this year.
He ran only on the Republican ticket,
which was the minority ticket in the
district, his opponent running on both
the Democratic and Progressive tickets
The three parties polled a total
of IL, 5O2 votes in these counties, and
only 1869 Of these were Republican,
hence approximately 5000 voters, or
one out of every three who voted eth
er the Progressive or Democratic tic
kets must have scratched fJr the judge
to elect him. In Morgan county he ran
300 votes ahead of his ticket; in Logan
about 700 and the same in Yuma. In
two of the counties his vote exceeded
the combined strength of the Repub-
iicans and Prcgressives. Outside of
county candidates we have heard of
no one running for office this year on
the Republican ticket only who was
successful excepting the judge. 1t is
perfectly apparent that but for this
peculiar three cornered political con-
test he would have had a majority of
fully 1905. ----
Judge Burke has served the people
of this district for one term of six
years, and holds record unsurpassed
by any judge in this state. In his re-
mistake. They cannot afford to dis
pense with such services.
