Political Banners
Fall 1898
 

 

NOTE: While these photos are tentatively dated to the election of 1898, it's still possible that they belong to 1896.

 


 


"Frank J Murasky"     "JOS. E. BARRY  REPUBLICAN NOMINEE"
 

"FRANK _ MURASKY"

According to one researcher:  "The middle initial being blurred. The letter is J.  According to The earliest record I have so far for Frank J Murasky being a Superior Court Judge is May 1903. The judge was 39 years old in 1903, I have no record as yet as to when he first ran for the court position."

The photograph that shows both the Murasky and J.E. Barry posters, I believe would be from either 1896 when Murasky lost an election for Superior Judge and Barry won as Justice of the Peace or in 1898 when Murasky won as a Superior Court Judge and Barry won as Justice of the Peace. See below PDF files.
