TONGUE For District Attorney Every republican citize n who is awake to merit ?n legil procedure should ireely give his pri mary vole May 19 to Judge George R. Bagley, of the circuit beuch. Judge' Bagley is one of, the ablest ju ists in the state. His interpretation of the aw is comprehensive and his years of. large practice have so trained him that he has a splendid conception of jurisprudence. He has been a leader at the bar in Washington County for many years, and his successes have beu many. As a judge he nas exceeded the hopes o!' hi closest admirers. He has made good in every w:iy. The bar of the county is almost a unit 'or his success at the pr maries, and as he has held down court expenses to the 'minimum, he is entitled to the support of the commo.nveaith. It is woithv of note that there are thf.se fighting his re-election because he held with the Supreme Court of the State and the district court of the United States in declaring the Sunday law valid. Ha could do nothing lse and the fact that he oid not do otherwise is to his credit as a jurist. Any judge wlr permits policy to gude him, rather lhan law, would be unsafe on the bench. By so doing he would set law at naught, anl violate his high ca'.h of office. Judge Bagley does not do this. 1L follows tho law when const tional.the last word of the state legislative function and that is hiy sworn duty. Every man who believes in law should remember this when he-voles in the primaiies-and if he shall do thi-, then J .dge Baghy will Le nominated by au overwhelming majority.

His record as district attorney has no equal in the stale, and his judgment is unquestioned. A vote for him is a vote of m lorsement for ab e scivicc. In him Washington County has a public official worthy of his hire, and through him the criminal matters of tho county are in the best of hands. Even his bitterest enemy cannot gainsay his ability as a public prosecutor. He is well-pois d, able, fearless and a master in law. To nominate him is an endorsement which he 1ns earned and to wbich he is entitled Editorial. - ' it 1 ( )9 -V. i i 4 r 1 ,i s 1 -S. Y .. - .. f
