Taking the position that the people
Of the Twentieth judicial district
elected two judges Tor that district
because they thought the law provld
ed for them, aud because they want

made Il statement 10 the effect that
he will not refuse to issue warrants
TO the two judges when their salary

The question Of the two Judges In
that district was one Of the first
things the legislature considered nj
ter conyening, In canyassing the
votes Of state officers. There was
some opposition in recognizing the
two Judges, j. G. Roberts and ]. i.
Culllson. both Republicans, the con
tcntion being based ON II technlcallly
in the statute making the reappor
tlonment Of the judicial districts.
The legislature finally decided that
these two Judges were elected by the
people and that the question Of
whether there should I've one or two
Judges In that district should be left
to the courts, II anyone desired 70
bring It mp through some legal trt
hunal. The matter then deyolyed
upon the proper time and circum-

In this connection state Auditor
Howard today said MY attention
has been called TO this matter ! have
given thought TO II and l can zee no
reason why, owing 10 the fact that
the Legislature In Canvassing the re
turns of the recent election, declared
both Judge Roberts and Judge Culli'

that II was the evident intention OF
