JOSEPH E. MEYER
Candidate for
Reelection for First Full Term
JUDGE OF DISTRICT COURT
Polk County judicial Ticket.


He is an Iowa man, SO years of age,
has wife and two small children, and
has made such splendid record on the
bench since his appointment as district
judge that there is universal expecta-
ton of his election for the full term
in November. At the time Of his APP
pointment he was not a candidate for
selection, but the governor offered him
the position, knowing full well his COM
potency. There have been times when
members of the bench would resign to
enter into the practice because Of the
more lucrative field. Judge Meyer has
said that if it is the will Of the people
he would very much like to stay on the
bench, to make there such record as
he believes he can make, and the cleo
ton in November to the full term is
merely matter of right. When man
has been given a short trial and is max
ing good the American spirit Of fair
play says, "Give him chance That
is always true, and knowing the COM
potency Of Judge Meyer, coupled with
the good American spirit of the voters,
we feel assured that he will be elected.

STOCK MARKET

New York, June 10-Opening- Stocks were moderately depressed at the opening of today's market, pre- sumably in consequence of overnight advices which reported a new phase of the German drive on the French front. Except for the motor group, which yielded one to two points, re- actions did not extend beyond frac- tions. These were offset by the strength of equipments and special ties, including Baldwin Locomotive. General Electric and Sumatra Tobac- co, the latter gaining three points. Liberty bonds were steady.
 Noon-The market rallied after the first decline, motors making complete recovery with other speculative is sues. Improvement was not long sus- tained, however, prices again reacting on heaviness of United States Steel, which lost a point under persistent pressure. Beet Sugar yielded two points, but related issues were unaf- fected. Pittsburgh & West Virginia preferred added moderately to last Saturdays advance and shippings strengthened perceptibly at noon. but trading in general lacked initiative. Liberty 31ss sold at 99.60 to 99.70, the first 4s at 94.98 to 95.2O, the sec ond As at 94.74 to 95.1S and the A at 96.70 to 97.S2.
