ing the last session Of the Eighth

A Nevada Divorce Court Judge
Decorated

Reno is the divorce court city of America. Reno
IS ever in the headlines. Judge George Bartlett OF
Reno was ever In the picture. He had granted thou
sands Of divorces in. his 90 years Of service. Now
he will be a divorce court lawyer instead Of a divorce
court judge. He was defeated for reelection at the
polls Nov. 4.
Benjamin F. Curler and the voters took Judge
Bartlett's Job away from him. Now he is a lame
duck and the lame duck tribe is a very large tribe
under American skies for the reason that the list of
casualties reported from the election districts of the
republic is almost staggering to the mind. A shake
up is necessary at times and the democratic party
IS a magnificent party of opposition. Its campaign
cry is voluminous as we'll as vibrant in off years. In
presidential election years its voters run amuck. They
slay democrats and push along the cause of the re-
publicans.
