RECEST JfDICIAL ELECTIO. 8enator Sherman sees, a hopeful siga in the recent Judicial election In the Fifth Supreme court district. According to his analysis of the election returns the Republicans should feel encouraged and should see the handwriting on the wall.

He believes that the Bull Moose showing In this district, the strongest Roosevelt district In the stste, shows conclusively that the Progressive party cannot hope to regain the ground that has been lost since last falL In the Judicial campaign the Bull Moosers polled only 25 per eent the Roosevelt vote of last fall, while the Republicans came back with 80 per cent of the Taft vote. According to Sherman there Is nothing la the returns from this election 1 that should cause around any Republican In the stste. It Is his notion that the Republicans will come back next year lnthe congressional and state elections and will again take first place In the state.
