RACE FOR DISTRICT
JUDGE OF INTEREST
Two Prominent Jurists of Basin
Contest for Place on Bench in
Fifth Judicial District

The campaign just closing for
Judge of this district equals If it
does not exceed in interest the state
campaign. Many of our readers are
not acquainted with either .aspirant
for the office, which is non-political.
This district embraces the counties
of Park, Big Horn, Washable and
Hot Springs, and in addition to
regular court business the judge of
the district has the irrigation and
drainage cases, which makes much
more work than most other dis
tricts in the state, none of which
are as large in size as this dis
trict.
In the Primary Judge P. w. Metz,
H. C. Bronze and T. G. Marshall
were entered. Judge Metz had a
majority over H. C. Bronze of about
400 votes and T. C. Marshall polled
$50 votes, which may possibly de-
eide the election. There are, how
ever, 1000 voters in the district
who did not vote in the primary.
Judge Metz is AZ years of age
and has resided in Basin for twenty
years and in Wyoming for 40 years
He has held the position of judge
the past twelve years and his last
term commenced just a month be
fore the Legislature passed the sal
airy increase for judges, which
makes him for that term take
$4,000 a year less than the Other
judges of the state. He is basins
his campaign on his record while
in office.
II. c. Bronze, runner-up in thu
primary. is a practicing attorney O
many years, is seventy years of age
and has resided at Basin the pas
eight years. Previous to that h,
practiced at Worland. For man.
years he was a practicing attorne!
in Omaha and was considered sue
cessful in the state courts there
He is basing his campaign on hi
knowledge of the law and lonl
practice in the profession.
Neither candidate has the back
ing of a political party and voters
will find their names on a separat,
non-partisan ballot. The election IL
next Tuesday and the polls will b.
open from nine in the morning un
til five in the afternoon, excepting
those precincts where registration /!
required, and there the polls will
