Supreme Court Judgeship.

There are five candidates for
the office of Supreme court Judge
from which the voters must
choose one at this spring election.
Three are from Milwaukee, one
from Racine and one from Fond
du Lac
The Milwaukee people have not
been able to agree upon candi-
date from their county Instead
there has developed such a bitter
partisan fight between their can
didates that several of the best
qualified men in the city have re-
fused to enter the contest.
Under this situation Milwaukee
can hardly expect the upstate
people to choose between their
candidates when they cannot do
so themselves.
Racine already has Chief JUS
tice Winslow, the presidingjud
of the court, and can hardly ex-
pect the people of the state to
choose another from that city at
this time.
This leaves Judge Fowler of

expressed his opinion on the Big

to be irnbued with the right
spirit, a spirit that all progress
sive Villas county farmers are
fostering. Lucky is the man who
realizes now what is in store for
this part of the state.
