Judge Thomas F. Seully, Democratic
candidate for Judge of the County
Court was elected as one of the Judges
of the Municipal Court at the Novem-
Der election in 1910 and it can also
be said in his favor that he is to the
mannerborn, for he first saw the light
of day in this city in 1871 and his
parents were among its Oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens. He was edu-
Gated in the Holy Family school, he is
also a graduate of the Kent College
of Law, from which he received his
diploma in 1896, while attending col
lege he was connected with the law
department Of the Board of Education,
and later on he held a very responsible
position in the County Recorders Office

the Municipal Court Judges in 1910,
while serving the people in that capae-
ity he was a member Of some of its
most important committees.
Judge Seully is a prominent member
of the Catholic Order of Foresters,
Knights of Columbus, Royal League,
and many other organizations; the late
Mayor Fred. A. Busse appointed him
chairman of the committee on the
Cherry mine disaster and he took an
active part in the relief work accom-
plished by that committee.
The first part of this present year
Judge ScuIly was selected by Chief
Justice Harry Olson of the Municipal
Court to preside over the Boys court
and it is the first and only kind in the

in the right place, he is a kind father
and a big brother to all the boys who
appear before him.
Judge Seully has always been a true
friend to the AfrO-Ameriean race and
in the past he has cheerfully performed
many kindly deeds for its worthy mem
bers.
