HARRIS * •Judge I^iwrenceT. Harris has announced th at he will seek the nomination of suprem e judge. We are confident th a t it is not Judge H arris’ personal desires, as much as it is those men acquainted with his qualifications for the posi­ tion, and are interested in seeing the best men possible in public service, urging him to make an effort to secure the nomination, th at has caused him to stand for the office. Hon. L. T. H arris has several tim es in the pagt . refused to allow himsplf to be a candidate- for office, when there were good reasons to believe he could have easily been elected. He chose when a student to prepare himself for a legal c a re e r^ a n d had hardly begun the practice o f law when his exceptional ability for it was impressed on those who came in contact with the young attorney. He has not allowed anything to interfere with his chosen work, and to vote for such a jn a n to a high public office will be Counted by those who know him, as an opportunity to show appreciation of bis fitness. and Tuesday - Acme -Wednesday Wejwill carry passengers across Clear |lake, |Ten Mile lake and Five Mile lake day or night Fare across all three lakes.
