There is no one at the Westchesi er County bar who is more devoted j to the interests of his clients, or earnest or successful in i their advocacy. He will, if elected, make an excep- I tionally able and un(iucstionably upright judge, and for this reason sliould receive the votes of his feilowcitizeus. His ability as a lawyer, his thoroughness, 1 his keenness in detecting the salient point, and, above all, his judicial temperament, the proprietor of the Chronicle can speak most uncjualifiedly, because he has known Mr. Mills as a fellow law student and a partner in the practice of the law for eight years. In the law school he ranked among the very brightest, keenest, hard-working men, and his record at the Westchester bar is one full of honor."
