Judge J. H. Bailey, independent candidate for judge, is an old soldier and will receive a hearty support from the veterans in his district, especially in Rice and Stafford counties...
Judge Bailey was born in Steuben county, N. Y., in. the year 1832. In 1837 his parents moved with him to Indiana, where he resided almost continuously until the war broke out. By his own untiring industry and perseverance, in 1853 he was admitted to the bar, at the age of 21 years, and excepting the time of the rebellion has practiced law almost continually since. At the breaking out of the war, Judge Bailey was one of the first to offer his services to the country, and served with distinction until the close of the terrible conflict. For meritorious conduct and bravery on the battle field, he was promoted to the captaincy of company "K," 54th Illinois infantry, shortly after entering the service. After the war the judge moved to Adair county, la., where he resided for 14 years. In 1878 he moved to Rice county, Ks., his present home. Mr. Bailey is one of the. ablest and most popular members of .the Rice county bar. He was elected county attorney in 1882. He was again a candidate last fall, and ran 200 ahead of the ticket, and carried this city by nearly 100 majority, over J. W. Brinckerhoff, the republican nominee. Judge Bailey thinks as he pleases and votes as be pleases. He is not only an independent candidate, but is an independent man, politically speaking. The judge will take the stump and make a thorough canvass of the entire district, and he will be elected. This much of Judge Bailey.
