made a most righteous and fair judge,
all agree that hts office has been con-
quoted to the best interests Of all the
'eop'e, all are agreed that he is amply
able as judge, and that we could
not hope to get better Judge by
change.
Then why change?
If you had "A chance to hire a farm
hand who was known to be a good
one and who had experience; would
!on turn him down and get a lad VIII,
NEVER saw a breast yoke or who never
harnessed n team, just because the
iir't lad had had that job for four
Years? You would not.
If merchant or banker had a
chance to get an experienced clerk,
one who knew all the ins and outs of
tn" business, one who had been tried
and found efficient and trustworthy;
would he turn him down for an in
experienced youth whose metal had
never been proven and whose worth
had yet OF be demonstrated? He
would not.
The same course of reasoning
should be applied to county affairs,
to affairs of government; and when
we do, we shall always have efficient
and economical government.
That is all there is to this race for
county judge. Both of Judge Paul
Inns opponents are worthy young
men of high character; but neither
of them are experienced in law;
neither of them has had much busi-
ness in the courts. Each would have
to learn the law and the procedure
after he came into office-at the ex-
pense of the county.
So in this day of reconstruction,
of high expenses, why not use your
hard headed good judgment in voting
as well as you do in ordinary affairs
of life and choose the man for the
office who is best fitted already by
reason of experience and middle aged
good judgment tc be your county
Judge.
Judge Paullin wall appreciate any
thing you do for him in this race.
He is not physically able to get out
to see all the people. He has his
judicial duties to perform; and the
crutch it not speedy means Of loco
motion.
The Judge does not feel unkinily
toward those who have decided to vote
otherwise. He appreciates already
that so far as his own case is con-
cened, the people of the county have
been very good to him, and he does
not ask for support other than free
willed and hearty. He is most af-
fable gentleman. If you have busi-
ness in his court, the poorest will
I receive the same very careful
tention and courteous consideration
as the richest. The office is the peo.
pies and the Judge conducts it with
that idea in view.

And when we go to breakfast his

He helps himself to coffee and

And buzzes his defiance in the very

We slap him where he isn't, and he

As he roosts upon the butter, just

Fen in death he still pursues US,
for We learn that when he died,
In our second cup of coffee he'd
