Judge Galloways charge to thegrand jury was a masterly presentatlon of the existing evils and he isbeing widely commented upon forfearlessness and earnestness of pur ¬

plored the fact that Warren countyhad achieved almost as much noto ¬

riety for violations of the electionlaws as Breathiett county for mur¬

derHecharged the jury to look well

into the recent election and to pun ¬

ish every man guilty of trying to de ¬

bauch tbeballot-This part of the charge created

considerable comment in view of thefact that former judge Brandburnwho is contesting Judge Gallowaysseatand who claims fraud in the elec ¬

tion tailed to utter a word aboutelection frauds in his charge to thegrand jury immediately after theelection although it was his duty todO gt
