Saline county, which always has
one state official and often two, has
two state candidates in the field now,
Darwin Marmaduke, for governor,
and John Breathitt, for reelection to
the railroad commissionership. 1t is
difficult to see how both can stay in
the race without mutually embarrss.-
ing and perhaps defeating each
, other.
If the Petttis county judicial cir
cult is rearranged to include Pettis,
Benton, Hickory and Saint Clair
counties, as proposed, Judge james
H. Lay, of Warsaw would probably
be the Judge of the circuit. He is
: now Judge of Benton, Henry aud
Bates circuit and is An able man.
, Tire circuit as proposed would be
slightly democratic, as figured by past
ections.
, Now since Mr.. Stone is candi-
dste for governor, We will inform
Mes-rs. Claycomb, Gibson, Yeaman,
Gates, Dalton, McAiee. and all
others who may become candidates,
, that when they defeat the man from
Vernon, they will be very tired. Mis-
souri, has only few men the equal Of
the ex congressman. He is thu pride
