that the most anxious. Of my queries.
This was the street into which We had

stranger they were trying at this very

stopped. for l could see from my vantage

and even paving at the snow which lay
there, II gave me a slight turn when one
of them-I do not think it was George

Judge James l.. Graham, can didate for associate justice of the supreme court, is man well fitted for the position in tempera

Judge Graham is not partisan politician, but a jurlst of great ability, and he is well known as such throughout the entire state. He believes that judicial offices should be re- moved' from partisan politics. and this position is eminentlv correct. Being one of the fore
