Vote For Chance

Great care should be exercised in
the selection Of the judges of the
state, the district and the county.
The last legislature made the office
of supreme judge and district judge,
non-partisan offices, but did not go
so far as to include the probate
Judge in the non-partisan column on
the official ballot. -Notwithstand-
ing this omission, the office of pro-
bate judge is as much non-parti-
san office as are the offices of SUI
preme Judge and district judge,
and in voting for probate judge,
the general fitness, ability. expert
ence, honesty and integrity of the
several candidates should be investi-
gated, and a choice made from
among the candidates of the one
who is best fitted for the office.
Charles H. Chance, democratic
candidate for probate judge of Nez
Perez County, is conceded almost
universally, by the impartial voter,
to be the best fitted man for this Of
fee. He is man of mature years,
has been in active practice as law
yer for over twenty years, the last
five years in Nez Perez County, is
a family man, and is a taxpayer.
The office of probate judge demands
a man of his experience in probate
work, as he has made speciality
for many years of real estate titles.
Nothing is more vital in the hand
ling of farms and other forms of
real property, either when it comes
to sale, or in an appliction for a
loan, than to know that if the pro-
perty has gone through probate and
been sold in the course of admins
tration, that a good title has passed
so that when it comes to sale or
dealing with real property, the title
will not be rejected.
Although democrat, Mr.. Chance
was appointed number of years
ago to the office of referee in bank
ruptcy for Nez Perez County, and
is now serving his fourth year ir
such position; he has given universe
satisfaction in this judicial office.
Mr.. Chances standing as sound
lawyer is established, and vote fol
him is vote for one who has al
ready demonstrated that he meas
ures up to the standard required Of
a probate judge. furthermore he i:
of temperate habits, has pleasant
manner of doing business with every
one, and is not a man who will be
come pulled up if elected. A VOTE
for him is vote for experience
knowledge and all the other requi
sites demanded by the people of {
candidate for judicial position.
