in Oroville Wednesday night on his
way to Republic, where he viii! hold
court Nothing has been heard to the
cnotrary and SO it is presumed that
Judge Pendergast will be in the race
to succeed himself for the judgeship
of this district It can be said on his
behalf that Judge Pendergast has filled
the office with credit and his record
during his incumbency of the bench
has been such as to entitle him to re-
election. Very wisely the judgship
has been largely removed from the in.
huence of party, and the political lean
ngs of candidate for that position
are not taken into consideration.
Where a judge has made good during
his first term he is entitled to sec
ond term, and Judge Pendergast has
made good is the opinion of majority
of those who transacted business be-
fore his court.
