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, 1 to 81, with 3-5 judges named per precinct (about 360 names with addresses). The user's filename names J. J. Murphy, but no "J. J. Murphy" is printed.

Murphy (71). Recurring archive-relevant names visible: Frank Murphy (Precinct 2, 517 West Daly); J. P. Nolan (Precinct 22, 1005 Caledonia); Mary Harrington (Precinct 22, 1100 Caledonia); James McDonald (Precinct 26); Mike Hennelly (Precinct 41, 410 Garden); Mary Phillips (Precinct 45, 313 West Second, number uncertain); James McCarthy (Precinct 45, 1022 California); Andrew Carroll (Precinct 45, 1028 California); Frank Kelley (Precinct 46, 502 West Park); Julia Lynch (Precinct 46, 545 West Mercury); F.
