Judicial Election - Next Monday’s election is one of the most important of our elections, as the representatives of the law are to be chosen by the people. They are the ones to construe the law and give justice between man and man. Every voter should cast a ballot on next Monday in the judicial election. This is an election where every voter cannot conscientiously vote a straight party ticket. If you have no particular choice between the candidates, inquire from parties familiar with the court work and get their judgement of candidates, and you can soon pick out good men, as there are but a few poor candidates who should not sit on the bench.
Remember to vote for only one judge of the Superior court - there are three candidates. Vote for only fourteen judges of the Circuit court - if you vote for more non will be counted. Voet for only three provisional judges. You can vote for less than these numbers, but you must not vote for more, or your vote will not count.
Be sure to vote on the bond question, an extra ballot being given for that purpose. If you vote for issuing $1,250,000 county bonds vote opposite the word “yes”. If not for it vote opposite the word “no.”
