FORTY CENTS PER MONTH UDGE STANTON'S ELECTION IS NOW ASSURED GIVING THE FEDERATION Reliable Information from Every County in the Fifteenth Judicial District Is Very Encouraging to Judge Stanton’s Non-Pa . rtisan Candidacy.

Stanton, judge of the District, will easily be elected to succeed himself. is generally conceded by those who are in close touch with the situation in the different counties or the dis- trict. While Judge Stanton’s supporters are not claiming that he will carry every county, they are assured by those who know that in no county in the district will there be a decisive | ©3S¢S came up for consideration majority for his opponent, B. F. Wright of Park Rapids. Judege Stanton has been sitting on | the bench since ex-Judge Spooner resigned and left for the west, and the members of the bar and the majority of the great common people who elevate a man to office and as often relegate others to the common | walks of life have had occasion to meet him and come into personal contact with the judge, in court, as| well as in every-day business and| social transactions. The verdict of both bar and pub- lic is that Judge Stanton has made a most efficient judge, being fair and impartial and very obliging to all; and in private life he is an honor- agle gentleman, in every sense of the word. These excellent qualifications have been factors in producing the unani- mous sentiment that Judge Stanton should be given a big majority, an endorsement of his fitness for judi- cial honors. BELTRAMI COUNTY. There is no doubt as to the re- sult of the judicial contest as far as Beltrami county is concerned. Ever since ex-Judge Spooner re- signed and Judge Stanton was ap- pointed as his successor, the people of Bemidji and Beltrami county Wright and the Defeated Itasca the Steel Trust Can’t s Election.

At the last term of court the mem- bers of the grand jury paid a high compliment to the judge for his work during that term. Many important !and the members of the jury were | ananimous in commending the judge’s decisions. There is practically no opposition to Judge Stanton in this county, except by a very few hide-bound old-time political ‘“‘war-horses,” who can say nothing against Mr. Stan- | ton, either as a lawyer or as a private l | citizen. ‘ This opposition has practically ! disappeared and endorsements of the | judge’s candidacy which have been ‘gwen publicity heretofore have been {renewed with many additional signa- tures. ITASCA COUNTY. Judge Stanton has made an en- viable reputation on the bench and the people like him. He will con- tinue as judge.—Grand Rapids Her- ald-Review. CROW WING COUNTY All who attended the last term of court in this county express the most favorable opinion of Judge Stanton. It is a foregone conclusion that all fair-minded men will vote for him.— Brainerd Arena. | AITKIN COUNTY. We know Judge Stanton. He has given proof of his ability and has earned an elective term. Heis in S every way worthy of your support. —Aitkin Independent. [Latest reports from Aitkin county are to the effect that Judge Stanton will surprise Mr. Wright in Aitkin county. Mr. Wright claims Aitkin, but careful estimates place Aitkin in the Stanton column by from 300 to 500 majority.] CLEARWATER COUNTY. Judge Stanton has already shown what sort of a judge he makes, whereas Mr. Wright is an - uncertain quantity. It issafe to predict that Clearwater county will go strong for i Stanton.—Shevlin Herald. HUBBARD COUNTY This is the first term at which Judge Stanton presided and he is being pleasantly spoken of by the jurors and people with whom he has come ir contact.—Hubbard County Enterprise. [While it is conceded that B. F. Wright will receive a big vote in his home county, it is known that Judge Stanton is going to cut very heavily into the vote which was given Mr. Wright at the primaries.

Judge Stanton’s suggestions and advice have been valuable to us. He has won our admiration by his ability and just impartiality.—Cass County Grand Jury. [While Cass county has always been overwhelmingly republican there is much- sentiment in that county favorably to a hon-partisan judiciary, and Judge Stanton will receive a splendid vote throughout Cass county.] KOOCHICHING COUNTY. Judge Stanton has graced and honored the high position he has attained. The expression of the people at the polls will be a cordial endorsement of his selection by Governor Johnson.—The, Border Budget. Boys Met Last Evening. The B.
