SMITHS EXPERIENCE
APPEALS TO VOTERS
WILL WIN JUDICIAL ELECTION
WITHOUT DIFFICULTY, IS
INDICATION

The availability and experience
of Senator E. S. Smith of Spring
field has appealed to the voters of
the Seventh judicial circuit so
strongly that it is believed he will
win without difficulty. The only
danger, his friends say, is that
his supporters may feel so cofident
of his success they may fail to go
to the polls.
While Senator Smith is the Re-
publican nominee and has a long
record Of service to the party be-
hind him, he is not making his
campaign on a partisan basis. He
is being urged for the place left
vacant by the death of Judge Jas.
A. Creighton on the ground that
he is qualified and he is receiving
the support of Democraties as well
as Republicans.
For many years the Republicans
of the circuit supported Judge
Creighton at the polls, although
he was a Democrat. They consid-
cred that politics should not be the
determining elements in Judicial
election, and the Democrats are
inclined to raciprocate now by ig-
noring politics in the present race
The election will be held next
Saturday, March 3.
