IN the course of speech in Pitts

Moore, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, is quoted as saying:
To elect the judges on the tenn

much with the kind of a court the
people get. There are many good
judges who do not believe in local

for his ability as a judge and not
on his personal opinion on the

With this the Telegraph most heart

to decide, but temperance agitation

The lull in Democratic negotiations
and comment establish a record for
inactivity, as the primary is less than
six weeks in the distance. The ten
tative announcement that Victor Bur-
schel would be candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
mas evoked no enthusiasm among
Democrats. They regard his candi-
dacy as merely a move to control the
party organization. and they are not
filled with admiration over the way
the party affairs were conducted last
year by Mr.. Burschel."
