THE JUDICIAL CONTEST.

1t is proper to call attention to the
judicial contest which is being waged
in the district and to say that it is not
political contest in any sense but
is what is denominated non-parti-
san election.
1t appears in the judicial contest
for electing candidates to serve upon
the district bench in this judicial dis
trict that one of the candidates comes
from the northern tier of counties.
We refer to Judge M. L. Hutchinson
who is candidate for reelection,
while the other three candidates are
from the southern tier OF counties
Their names are Gates Albert. w. c.
Saul and J. b. McCrary, the two lat
ter living in Carroll county and Mr.
Albert living in Greene county. There
are but two district Judges TO be. elect
ed. " 2 ~ y a,..
The voters should understand that
Judge Hutchison is not in the CON
test, and should have the vote of ev-
cry voter in the district. 1t is con-
coded ~ all Of the candidates that
Judge eAutchisOn is to be elected
While The contest relates alone to the
other three candidates. Judge Hut
Gibson has made such fine record
during his first term that it is con
coded he is entitled to another term
and this concession is made by the
other candidates as we'll as the
friends OF Judge Hutchison. 1t is
we'll for the voters to understand
when they come to vote that there is
no opposition to the candidacy of
Ind {n1,s Al,:..
standing is observed. he will hold
the full vote of the district. Every
body should vote for M. e. Hutchi-
son whose name will appear on the
ticket.
One of the candidates for judicial
hpnors is W. G. Saul. of Carroll coun-
ty, who has been practicing law at
Carroll, Ia, for a number OF years.
Mr.. Saul was raised in this county
being the son of James Saul, of Den
ison. 1t is credit to Mr.. Saul that
he has made for himself a record of
which his friends are justly proud, in
his profession as lawyer. He is in |
sense a selfmade man, having earn
ed his way and prosecuted his studies
after leaving the public schools OF
this county and, finally, graduated in
law with honors. He enjoys splen-
did reputation in Carroll county where
he has been living for several years
and is looked upon not only as
good lawyer but as dependable man
which counts so much for one follow
ing a judicial career. AS he is a
good lawyer he will make a good
judge if elected He has whole
some sentiment in his favor in Car
roll county where he will receive a
good vote. His name will appear on
the judicial ticket.
In the list of candidates for Judge
in this district this fall is to be found
the name OF Gates Albert whose res
idence is at Jefferson, Greene county
Iowa. He is a member of the firm
Wilson and Albert, one of the lead
ing firms in central and western Iowa.
Mr. Albert is man Of striking ap-
pearance, being of tall and command
ing figure. He is in the neighborhood |
OF forty-eight years Of age and has
had twenty years or more OF eXDe-
rience as an active practitioner of the !
law in Greene county. During this |
time he has built up for himself a
splendid reputation as lawyer and |
commands the respect OF the lawyers
throughput the district. He has a
close, a4alytica1s Saind which enables
him togreach logical conclusions,
qualifications so essential to the MAX
ing OF a good. judge. 1t is quite as
important for judge to know what
the law ought to be as to be able to
declare what the law is because if
one knows what the law should be,
it is, therefore, safe to assert that he
knows what the law is.
The hearty endorsement which Mr..
Albert has in his home county is a
guaranty that he is an upright citizen
and both from the standpoint OF le-
gal qualifications and character, he
clearly meets all the requirements
for safe, conservative and able
judge. His name will appear on the
iudicial ticket
