ELECTION OF HANNA TO CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP
WILL BE A TRIBUTE TO GOOD TASTE!
As more and more voters in and near Ashland be
come acquainted with H. K. (Herb) Hanna, nonparti
san nominee for circuit judge of this district, his
certainty of election becomes more and more apparent.
For every person who meets and begins to know Hanna
becomes his friend and supporter.
The wide acceptance of Herb, as all his friends
have known him for years, is a tribute to the judgment
and the good taste of voters. His election to the cir
cuit court bench for Jackson and Josephine counties
will assure litigants six years of capable, understand
ing and authoritative jurisprudence.
Hanna typifies all that is honorable and his proved
character, his undoubted integrity and his unusually
thorough knowledge of the law are reasons why the
majority of practicing attorneys favor Hanna s
election.
Jackson and Josephine counties are fortunate in
having available a man of Hanna’s ability, and a strong
majority vote for him will be consistent with a con
stant effort to improve the workability of democracy
in one of its vital offices.
