Kansas, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania move with state or local funding, bond issues, or convict labor.

The piece notes Pittsburg papers hinting that Blair-White contest may oust both parties for vote corruption and trigger a new election. It urges waiting for full evidence before judging Judge candidates and praises fair conduct by Judges Doty Barker Rayburn while urging accountability for election-board missteps in November.
