FOR ELECTION NEXT YEARf, "I will be a candidate for Cir-. cuit Judge at the next general: election," was me statement oi iJudge G. F. Skipworth, of Eju-., gene, who arrived here last nighty enrqute for Coos County, where, he will hold a- term of court for judge Coke. Judge Skipworth is one of the youngest and best known judges ;in Southern Oregon, and it is the prediction of local politicians that he will poll a heavy vote. Judge Skipworth has spent con-., siderable time in Roseburg dur- i ing the past year, and his friends, are numerous in this section of. the state. In addition to pres!d- ing over the celebrated murder,, trial of Roy Farnam, Judge ; Skipworth considered the testi-;, mony and rendered decisions in the several actions brought by.j John Hunter, et al, against the city of Roseburg. His latter de--' cisions were affirmed by the Ore-H gon Supreme Court, following, appeal to that high tribunal. Judge Skipworth is probably one of the most efficient lawyers -V in Southern Oregon, and his re- v cord as a trial judge has occa- -. siohed much favorable cqm- , mont. He is also a pleasing per son to meet, and has the faculty bf winning friends. That Judge ' Skinworth will receive generoils support in Douglas County is, -the opinion of those who aro , close In touch with the political situation. Roseburg Review, i LEASES OREGON THEATRE J J.
