Judges Are Chosen for Elections of Next Month

The Butte Miner, Butte, 1924-04-13, p.20

Summary

The Silver Bow County Commissioners completed the list of election judges for two May 1924 elections — a "consolidation election" on May 12 (a special-question election; consolidation of Butte and Silver Bow county-government was a recurring early-1920s Butte civic question) and the presidential preference primary later in the same month. The list runs by precincts; ~47 precincts listed in the visible columns, with 3-5 judges named per precinct. Per the user's filename, James J. Murphy is one of the named judges. The clipping body lists hundreds of names — at the export resolution the specific precinct in which JJM appears is not isolable. Worth a higher-resolution re-pull to confirm. Recurring archive-relevant names visible: Frank Murphy (Precinct 2, 117 West Daly); J. J. P. Nolan (Precinct 22, 1003 Caledonia); Mary Harrington (Precinct 22, 1100 Caledonia); James McDonald (Precinct 26); Mary Hennelly (Precinct 41, 410 Garden); Mary Phillips (Precinct 45, 813 West Second); James McCarthy (Precinct 45, 1622 California); Andrew Carroll (Precinct 45, 1023 California); Frank Kelley (Precinct 46, 803 West Park); Julia Lynch (Precinct 46, 545 West Mercury); J. F. O'Connor (Precinct 47, 805 East Front); Charles O'Connell (Precinct 47, 805 East Front). Period local-government context — Butte's recurring "consolidation" debate (eventually consolidated 1976).
