Judgeship Contests. The sitting of the judiciary commit- tee was a momentous one fo a great many anxious citizens. Most of the judgeship contests were to be consid- ered, but committee members were ex- tremely reticent about what happened i the committee room. It is under- stood that the committee by a ma- jority vote favored in fhe Bridgeport Ccontest former Representative W. W. Bent for judge and Frank L. Wilder for deputy judge, which carries with it a division of the minor ‘offices in that court. It is said that while one con- test was under consideration a demo- cratic member of the committee re- marked that he presumed pro forma that the six republicans would. favor a republican candidate while fhe six democrats would favor the democratic A republican member at once replied that the demoeratic mem- ber had presumed too much, for it was not warranted in supposing that con- tests were to be settled in the com- mittee room by simply dividing on po- litical lines.
