terest is centered in the Circuit
Judge'e race in both districts.
All the Estill Democrats are, of
course, for Judge Riddell, and
we might say the Powell Demo
Gratis are for Judge Benton. In
fact, if there is one here not fol
Benton, he has not braved tC
mention it to the writer. But
Spout Spring, for all times past,
has been far famed as peaceful
and law-abiding community, and
it is but natural that such citi-
zens would eagerly support a
man for Judge that has State
wide reputation for the enforce
ment of the laws of our Com
monwealth.
But with the single exception
of our own Judge Riddell, the
writer regards Judge Benton the
best Circuit Judge in the State
and if the Estill Democrats in
these parts could aid their mora
brethren of Powell, Benton's
majority in our twin county
would be greatly increased.
