McDoneugh County Democrat. For years George A. Cooke has made his home in Aledo, and has been one of Mercer county's best known and most successful lawyers. He is abour. one of the most likable fellows that ever dropped from the bushes of Mer cer county. He is big of stature and big of heart and his magnetic per sonality has drawn to him one of the larpost circles of personal frien.ls claimed by any political leader in this section of the state.

His integrity and his spirit of fair ness, and his sterling manhood, coupled with an ability that will lend credit tr the supreme bench, is an in frpiration. Aledo Democrat. It is predicted all over tne distrir. that Hon. George A. Cooke will be elected to the supreme bench. It is in tho people's interest that our su preme court should he bi-partisan. To this end a democrat should be elected to succeed the late Justice Scott. Mr Cooke is well qualified for the position, and he should- be elected. Quincy Optic. Mr. Cooke is a bright, clean, capable, attractive, companionable man and an able lawyer. The fact is, regardless of personal politics, it is clqarly to the Interest of the people of this dis trict to see to it that George A.

Cooke has the advantage in that i his candidacy is a protest against filling the supreme bench with tne prejudiced partisans of one party. This fact will give Mr. Cooke the support of hundreds of patriotic re publicans. And these patriotic re publicans can support Mr. Cooke all the more cheerfully from the 'fact that the bi-partisan principle has been crystallized into the laws of the state by republican legislation, which laws require that every important ap pointive board of the state shall be bi-partisan. Fulton County Demo crat. It should in fair play be conced ed that a democrat should fill the vacant chair of the late Justice Scott. Fulton County Democrat.

Fulton County Ledger. McClure is charged with having been non-partisan enough not to sup port Roosevelt and with being 'an enemy of the federal crowd. He is a strong supporter of Deneen and ex pects the state crowd to elect him. There is very little enthusiasm for the gentleman. La Harper. We could heartily support Hon. George A. Cooke for the supreme judge because of his high ability alone. And in addition to that his sterling manhood. He is a genuine American citizen and theorld knows no hiRh er type. He makes friends wUh the people wherever he goes because, while possessing abilities of the high est, order, he is still a man or the people and it would be impossible to think of him being touched with pride or becoming -reserved. Jack sonville Courier. As a man, Mr. Cooke possesses the regard, the esteem and the admiration of his associates, neighbors and ac quaintances. Clean cut. honest and frank in his communications with those about him, he is of the moral fiber essentially necessary for a judge, no matter what the legal lore a man possesses. George A. Cooke, besides having the judicial temperament, has with it a knowledge of law, not only the essentials of pleading and prac tice, but he has a grasp of fundamen tals, a knowledge, of constitutional holdings, of the basic principles un- CENTRAL TRUST & SAV INGS BANK.

No judicial tribunal should be solid ly democratic nor solidly republican In the interest of jusiice to all parties there should be a fair representation of each party in the people's supreme court. The justice of this position must appeal to every one. Two of the supreme justices were democrats, all the remaining ones were republi cans. Judge Scott, a democrat from this district, was removed by death. George A. Cooke, a splendidly quali fied and worthy democrat, has beeu nominated to fill his place. Should he not have the unanimous vote of the district? Mason County Demo crat. On a normal vote tho republican majority in the Fourth supreme judi cial district is very small, and the democrats have an excellent oppor tunity to elect George A. Cooke su preme judge on Saturday, Sept. 25. Judge Guy C. Scott, democrat, who was elected in the district three years ago, defeated Judge Carter, republi can, by about H0 votes. In 1908 Adlai Stevenson, for governor, had 2.S13 majority over Deneen in the 14 coun ties of the district, although Taft. for president, received l,('."2 more votes than Bryan in these counties. Ihe'e figures do not represent the strict party vote in either instance. The district is close, and if the democrats make a determined effort to elect their candidate, (hey will win.
