ATTACK UPON PROMINENT JURIST PROVES A BOOMERANG Generfd Public Satisfied that Early Release of Hoyi ~ Was Reason For Persecution ^Has Been Able Jurist It is quite apparent that the campaign of County Judge Charles .P. Barnes, for re-nomination is moving forward by leaps and bounds, und at this writing it would look like a safe bet, that on Primary day he will recei ve more votes than the (total of his combined opposition. Voters in every nook and corner of the county are rallying to^the Judge's standard with a vigor and snap that.is daily drawing new retruits to the support of his candidacy. Admittedly there, is a'very fjtrong public sentiment throughout-the county that seemingly demands the Judge's re-nomination, and a fe^' of the. unanswerable arguments that are being advamed by his supporters are, that the-splendid record Judge, Barnes has made on the County bench, has never been equaled by any of his predecessors, that the* people do mat want a change, and that for nearlystwo years lie has Men the victim of bitter and unjustifiable persecution, whi|h evidently had as one of its objects, the early liberationjof two guilty bankers, the state ^penitentiary Joe Holly'without any Fremont and Clarence. Hoy, from at Joliet, and the turning loose of punishment. • . j -* The politicians wW planned that It would be an easy .matter to forever exterminate Judge Barnes politically, greatly underestinW^d the Judge's fighting qualities, and^tliey also overlookfed tlie fact that it is the voters that make the nominations, and they should also have borne in mind, that the'people of this county have not forgotten the infamous but unsuccessful attempt of these same politicians tb wrest, from Judge Barnes and former State's Attorney Lumiey their state licenses to practice law, which, if it had succeeded would * have prevened them from ever earning another dollar toward the support of themselves or their families by th« practice of their profession, besides bringing upon them their wives* children and friends, the everlasting disgrace, that the two mentioned; were disbarred lawyers. People as a rule favor fair play and a square deal even in politics, and if we are not greatly mistaken, the voters will strongly emphasize this fact on Primary day. by voting their disapproval of the methods used against Judge Barnes and by giving him an overwhelming vote of confidence.!--From The Hebron Tribune of December 31,1925. 4S SEEN BT PLA1NDEALKR REPORTERS AND HANDED IN BT OUR FRIENDS Howard Phalin spent last Week in Chicago.

Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Simon, Mr and Mrs. AL Kunz and family and Score Ends 20 to 13 In Sunday's Oame I The Ritcher's Garage five of Wilfcot handed the McHenry Athletic club a defeat Sunday afternoon in what proved to be one of the slowest games witnessed by the followers of our home clubs, the score ending 20 to 18 Neither team seemed to be able to get their eye on the basket at all during the first part of the game, but Wilmot at last found it during the third and last quarter, which gave them the game. The Wilmot club was composed of four Ritcher brothers, Howard, Harvey, Norman and Vern, assisted by Sehultz and Huff. Most of the team has appeared on the McHenry floor with the Wilmot and Richmond High School quintets before in high school games a few years back. Zeke Bacon, McHenry's star running guard, was unable to do a thing and didn't register a point, which is quite an unusual thing for Zeke. Both of McHenry's forwards were off on their shots and couldnt do a thing either. Gus Freund, our giant center, succeeded in putting in three pnetty long shots and one free throw, but missed many during the second half on account of using Wilmot's greased ball. During the third quarter Harvey Ritcher, guard on the Wilmot team, was retired from the game on account of four personal fouls. Huff and Norman Ritcher were the outstanding stars of the game, Huff with four field goals and two throws and Ritcher with three baskets and one free throw. "Barefoot" Adams, who was slated to appear on the Wilmot team, was unabl^ to play on account of bad roads and Could not reach here, disappointing many who were there to see him in action again. At the start of the game things looked like a lively game, but at the end of the first quarter the score stood at a 1 to 1 tie'and at the half Wilmot gained a bit, moving up to 6 and McHenry advanced up to 2. From the start of the second half Wilmot gained steadily until the end. Despite the rainy weather and slippery roads there was one of the best crowds at the game that there ever has been at the high school gym. one from the side line am| that meant another Victory for McHenry. The Wauconda boys played a nice game, but all five of them could not keep up to our whirlwind, Dick Overton, for Dick just couldn't miss the basket. Earl Moody, star forward for Wauconda, was started to give the McHenry team a lot of trouble with his classy pivoting and shooting, but Moody did not display much of his wares last Saturday night, but his long team-mate, Rudinski, proved a bad opponent and had a good eye for the basket by laying in three baskets and two free throws out of four trys. The public was given quite a surprising treat last Saturday night when two of the High School girls' teams gave a real peppy opener and with such little practice they gave a very good showing. Mary Brefield, the big star forward for the Seniors, played a whirlwind of a game for the winners, while Berteel Spencer proved second with scores. Rosalind Nye and Minnie Ferwerda were high scorers, for the losing five. Seniors--1\ - : FG FT TM PF B. Spencer . 3 3 1 1 M. Brefield .>V. ,jk 0 0 0 T. Reynolds V'/.... 0 0 0 2 L.

C. H. S. five, but instead of going home with all the honors of the game, they left with the "bpoby prize." Although they played a very good game all the way through, they could not keep up with the fast McHenry boys to the finish. Things looked very bad for a few minutes In the last quarter, when McHenry had but a two-point lead on Wauconda and the Blue and Gold had a good chance to step ahead, but failed. After that Sibre Whiting dashed down and made another basket, putting McHenry out of danger and Bob Conway dropped in a pretty Total i.,.,*" 9 3 14 Freshmen-- , FG FT TM PF E.

McHenry held tljp lead over the Wauconda cagers all the time. At the end of the half, McHenry was still lead? ing by a score of 12 to 7. The Wauconda men must have gotten a severe lecture from Coach Mullins in between halves for they came back with more vigor and fight than before, but were unable to overcome the lead, although they threatened two or three times during the second half to creep up into the lead, but lacked the necessary teamwork to break up the perfect five-man defense of the Stringerites or to stop McHenry's offensive work Dick Overton proved the star of the game, ringing in six very neat field goals / id one free throw, while Captain 3 jre Whiting dropped in three field goals and Bobby Conway also came through from back guard and dropped in a basket, while E. Conway, Krause and Newman all were in to help McHenry bring home McHenry's fifth straight victory. McHenry-- FG FT TM PF Overton 6 4 1 Krause 0 0 0 Newman 0 0 0 Whiting s i q E.
