Judge Matchett rounded out his
higher education at the Colorado Col

was admitted to the Illinois bar in
1895 and met with success in tin
kering with the law right from the
very start.
AS stated before he was elected Cir
cult Court Judge in 1915 and re-
elected in 1921, and not so long after
his first election he was assigned to
the APPELLATE Court by the Supreme
Court where he has presided from that
time to the present.
Judge Matchett and his Iaudable

Kerner, Dennis J. Normoyle, Ira Ryner

The judicial election will occur Mon
day, June E, and the high political
bosses, both Democrats and Repub-
licans, are sitting pretty in their sad
dies while riding around on the backs
OF the people who are seemingly
powerless in their iron grasp or bull
dog grip, for those high political
bosses are laying plans to fasten lode
stones around the necks of the people
in this city and county which they
will be unable to successfully shake
off for many years to come.
1t is very funny that the thing so
happens that there are twenty circuit
judges to be elected. If two tickets
were put in the field there would be
forty to choose from and there would
be the possibility of the people having
a pick and the prospect Of an un-
worthy judge being discarded once in
a while
1t is said that each candidate was
held up for $4,000 and that vast sum
of money fell right into the pockets Of
some of the boss Democratic and Re-
publican politicians; it is more than
enough to cause the boss devil to
crack his sides with laughter to be-
hold the way the political bosses
dished up the rotten mess of black
chow and labeled it coalition and a
nomination on the coalition ticket
practically means election, as there are
but twenty judges nominated, plus one

AS an evidence of the fact that
Judge Seaman is popular with the

ored people in general Of this city and

Since January !, 1908, down to the

HON. KICKHAM SCANLAN, RE-

REELECTION AS JUDGE OF
THE CIRCUIT. COURT OF
COOK COUNTY

Hon. Kickham Seaman, who has
become the dean Of the Circuit Court
Of Cook County, was first elected to
the Circuit bench in 1909, and he has
hOnorably served since that time
three full. terms, six years to each
term making 18 years ali told, and his
long and honorable record on the
judicial bench just naturally forces
him to occupy its front seat.
Judge Scanlan has resided in this
great city for more than 40 years,
coming to it from Washington, D c.
IN 1882, and after drinking in first
class legal and literary education he
was admitted to the bar in 1888, and
from that time until he was elected
Circuit Court Judge in 1909 he made
money right and left in the law busi-
ness and successfully tried many fa-

HON. FRANK D. COMERFORD
WILL MAKE A SPLENDID
JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR
COURT OF COOK COUNTY,
FOR HE is ONE OF THE
ABLEST LAWYERS IN CHI
CAGO

Very few lawyers practicing at the
Chicago bar have any edge on Hon.
Frank D. Comerford from a legal
point of view, for he is thoroughly ia
miliar with every phase of all branches
of the law from A to z and he has the
high reputation Of possessing all the
qualifications which high class judges
or lawyers should possess.
No citizen in Chicago is more pop
ular or held in higher esteem than
Mr.. Comerford. Several times in the
past he came within an ace of being
elevated to the Superior Court bench
and on Monday, June 8, there will be
no question about his election as a
Superior Court judge.
It should be very gratifying to his
hosts Of warm friends to record their
votes in favor Of his election as such.
For twenty-seven years Mr.. Conner
ford has been constant reader and
supporter of this newspaper and its
editor has no better or warmer friend
in Chicago than the new judge to be

High School Jinxed

Completely outclassing Little
Falls in their game on the Nor
Morrison county floor Monday, the
Main Streeters maintained time
honored tradition by succumbing
in the last quarter, 20 to 16, aft
ter leading 16 to 8 with only four
minutes left of play.
Not within the recollection of
man has a Sank Centre team
beaten a Little Falls team, so the
Main Streeters We're only being
consistent in losing when the Falls
men tossed in enough flukey bas-
kets to win in the last few min
utes. With the Little Falls jinx
doing a Rip Van Wrinkle up to
the final minutes, especially in the
third quarter, when Coach
Sage's men were held scoreless,
the whiskers didn't bother to any
great extent upon awakening. The
jinx even pushed one pass into the
basket for goal.
For the first time this season,
the Main Streeters were function
ing perfectly, passing accurately
and displaying a tight defense that
allowed but few short shots. Cap
tain Arneson played his best game
of the schedule to date and Miller
was also effective. Walden for
Sank Centre and Bolander and
Teeri for Little Falls, each shot
three baskets to tie for high scor-
ing honors. Ed Peterson, the
most reliable point-getter on the
squad, was unable to play more
tina ma few minutes due to a lame
foot.
The game Monday was the first
between the two schools for nearly
ten years or so, and was not a
district affair. No return engage
ment has been scheduled.

Two Games Friday

Followers of the High School
basket ball teams will have two
good reasons for coming out to-
morrow night, Friday, whSh the
Genwood boys and the Osakis
girls play return engagements
here. First of these is the oppor-
tunity to watch the Pope county
outfit, potential district champions
along with Osahs and Melrose, in
action on the tournament floor.
The other reason is the first
chance to see the girls team, I'M
defeated to date, sporting their
new suits on the home floor. Of
Paul Poiret design and bearing the
legend 'Main Street" instead of
Sank Centre, they are of a mod
ern style which would make Sin

he was writing about. Come and
