Charles A. Sutton. nominee Of the
sRepublican party for Judge Of the
criminal court. IS another Of the GER
tain winners at tomorrow's election
lir. sutton in campaigning through
out the county has made his posi-
zion clear. With every other good
citizen Ae feels the Office OF judge is
in no sense a political Office. Under
our laws. however. political parties
nominate candidates for such offices.
Mr.. sutton, being the candidate OF
the Republicans, expects and will re-
ceive the united support OF that party:
Being a young man Of clean record
from his earliest boyhood. he will
doubtless receive many votes from
other parties. His conception Of the
high cG:ce which he seeks is such
however, that he will discharge the
duties OF Judge without regard to
pardsanship and directed only by the
high sense Of justice and right that
an untarnished conscience and an
unspotted integrity will indicate.
He is no untried youngster: Ae
has served the people faithfully IN
the legislature. He has acted with
ability as deputy assessor. BE has
practiced law for several years with
marked success. His friends urge his
election with the fullest confidence
In his ability and integrity. He WILL
make a good Judge.
