THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONIfZLLBBUXO, PA. VOTERS BEWARE. To show the desperation of my opponents to defeat me for Judge, I am reliably informed that they are, at the last hour, circulating the report that I would send the brewers" into rulton coun ty with money and booze to influence voters. This, in itself, is an insult to the in telligence of the good people of Fulton County, and will act as a boomerang on the originators. Should I be guilty of resorting to such methods I would not be worthy to a seat on the bench to which I honestly aspire. J. LAWRENCE BUTT.
