We are pleased to note that our
own Judge. r. ". Slack is being
mentioned in high Republican circles
for Judge of the Court of Appeals
from this district. While We should
be sorry to see Judge Slack taken
from the very excellent work he is
doing as Circuit Judge. we should be
pleased to sec him honored with a
seat in the highest court in the State.
for which position he is eminently
fitted, both as a lawyer and man.
In his two years on the bench in this
district Judge Slack has demonstrat-
ed his ability to perform the functions
of the highest court of the State. and
he would probably be the strongest
man the Republicans could nominate
for Judge Of the Court of Appeals.
If the party and the people should
elect to elevate Judge Slack to the
Appellate Court, Ohio county can Of
fer the district a lawyer of ability
and experience to fill the vacancy.

able and capable Commonwealth At
torney, Mr.. C.. E. Smith. Besides his
splendid fitness for the Office Mr.,
Smith has behind him an unbroken
record 70 political successes, having
been twice elected County ATTORNEY
of Ohio county, and afterward shar-
ing with Judge Slack the honor of
carrying for the first time for the
Republicans, this judicial district.
