NEW JUDGES MAY GET COIN I
AFTER PECULIAR DELAYS


politics, and the judges themselves
pleading that they be allowed to get
their offices in a difnified manner,
without resorting to partisan scram-
bles, something has just been put
over for the judges of the circuit and
superior courts of Cook county that
savors strongly of practical politics
and an effort to grab the coin.
June the election for judges of
the circuit and superior courts was
held in Cook county. At that time
their salaries were $4,000 a year
each, more than that of the supreme
court judges of the state, who pass
on the acts of the local judiciary.
A few days later the legislature
passed a bill to increase the salary
of each judge $4,000 per year. Then
some peculiar things began to hap
pen. Returns from the election were
painfully slow and it was not until
early this week that County Clerk
Sweitzer got the papers.
Gov Dunno had not then signed
the salary increase and the $4,000 so
IdI do IuO 1CCCul1y -O1CCIOu JuNSCo was
concerned, didn't look like real,
spendable money.
Some clerk in Sweitzer's Office sent
the papers to Springfield, where they
must be signed by the governor.
Then, according to the Tribune,
friends of the judges, who don't care
at all for politics, got busy and had
the papers recalled by telegraph.
Dunno hadn't yet signed the bill.
According to Sweitzer himself, it
was necessary to recall the papers
because a stenographer had omitted
a line. Which looks like one of the
most costly stenographic errors on
record. Taxpayers of Cook county
may lose $4,000 as a result.
That meant more delay. And Gov.
Dunno hadn't yet signed the bill The
money began to take on tangible
form and made a D1eaSaDt and friend

One of the laws passed by the last
legislature exempts the property OF
old soldiers up to valuation of $2.-
600 from taxation, where the appli-
cant for such exemption is shown to-
be worth less that $50 900. The law
will afford some relief to quite a

their old age need all the income
they have.

Much Support.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 30.-Owing
tc the fact that Governor Hatfield.
mas MADE no move IN the namlng OF
a successor to Judge Ira q. Robin
son, the field of eligibles and CAM
didates for that high Office is grow
ing daily.
Rumors as to who the governor
will appoint to don the judicial robes
are rife, but "rumors' they are as
the chief executive has not made a.
single utterance concerning the fill
ing Of the Office.
The situation that faces the gov
5ernor is a peculiar one. in that the
men who have been mentioned for
the Office and from whom he will un-
doubtedly make mis- cnolce are all of
such high caliber and SO we'll fitted
for the honor that the job Of selec-
ton will be an unusually difficult
one.
State Senator Wells Goodykoontz.
whose name has been prominently
mentioned for the Office, is one Of
the most prominent attorneys OF
Mingo county and his selection would
meet with approval from the ex-
IRENE southern end of tho state.
Judge John w. Mason, Of Fair
mont, has gained a great amount of
public attention through his work
as chairman OF the Virginia ueul
commission. The wiseacres are de-
claring that the Marion county judge
has the inside track. He is known
as one of the ablest and most bril-
liant attorneys Of that section.
Two others who have already
worn the robes of judge are in the
field. They are Judge M. H. Willis,
Of New Martinsville, who was judge
OF the circuit court in Wetzel coun-
ity where he served with great sat-
isfaction to the residents Of that sec
ton and Judge n. c.. Heryey, Of
Wheeling. The man from the ex-
IRENE north Of the state is receiving
the hearty support Of, Wood, Ohio.
and Hancock counties who are a unit
in the hope of his selection for the
place.
Fred o. Blue, present tax commits
sioner and formerly q prominent at
torney of Barbour county is also in
the race for the judgeship. It is
expected that the governor will make
known his choice within few days.
