In the scramble for places on the dele
cations to tie national conventions and
for the city and county offices, both the
Democrats and the Republicans seem
to have lost sight of one Office, and a
very important one, that must be filled
at the next election. That is the place
of Judge of the municipal court. A
successor to Judge Elliott must
be elected. The Republicans
have not been saying any
thing about it, but they have been
making still hunt for a candidate for
the place So far but three men have
been prominently mentioned. First
among these is, of course, the present
incumbent Judge Elliott. Judge Eli
Oft is a nice gentleman, who is we'll
thought of by his party fellows, but
there are a few things that render him
not the best man in the world
for the Republicans to- nominate
at this time. Judge Elliott
went into that Office under peculiar
circumstances. The public is we'll
satisfied that he and Judge Emery
merely trade places. Elliott was at
torney for the National Building and
Loan association. now the Pioneer Say
ings and Loan association. He left the
Building and Loan company and went
on the municipal bench, while Emery
resigned to take his place with that
company. 1t must be admit
ted, even by his best friends,
that Judge Emery did not
make himself very popular while he
was Judge of the municipal court. On
the other hand he made himself very
unpopular, at least with the masses of
the people. Naturally, good deal Of
the ill-will felt for EMERY exists against
his successor, especially against sue
cesSor who went into the office under
such circumstances as attended Elliotts
alevatiou. That almost puts Elliott out
Of the question, but he is understood to
be candidate, nevertheless.
1t may surprise some people to learn
that r. A. DAILY is out for the nomina-
ton as Judge of the municipal court.
Daily is ont for most anything he can
get. and he wants to be addressed as
Judge DAILY. DAILY is we'll known TO all
the lawyers, as he was at one time
clerk OF the municipal court. He has
but what is the use of telling who DAILY
is? He was candidate for the attor
Of the park board short time
ago, and at that time he published
biography of himself that sufficiently
explains who DAILY is.
Marcus P Hayne, the well known
lawyer, who delights in boisterous
vests and neckties that talk, has been
spoken off as good man
for the Republican nomination for
Judge of the municipal court. Marcus
has a good many friends among the
strong Republicans, and he is we'll
liked by the lawyers. IT he desires to |
make the run, he will make his oppo-
nents hustle. r
But, as before stated, the Republic |
ans, especially the Republican lawyers
wh97are swayed by something besides
partisan politics, are making a still
hunt for a candidate. This does not
mean that they would utterly disregard !
any one OF the men mentioned here. |
NeS at all. But they want to see
The best man that the party has, |
who will take it, on the bench. |
The place is worth $500
year, and that is a tidy sum. The |
work is not eXacting either. So it is |
good berth for some good lawyer who |
pines for the title of judge. But that is |
not what influences the laWerS in their |
desire to get the very best sort of man |
for the place. AS it is now, all the |
eases appealed from the municipal |
court 90 directly to the supreme |
court. That throws into the supreme
court, already 0vercrowded, lot OF |
little business that is annoying to that |
court. The lawyers think that, if they |
could get a couple of first-claSs lawyers
Dn the municipal bench. there would be
fewer appeals taken. and the supreme
court would be relieved from heavy
burden. SO they are looking.
The Republican papers have been
printing more tales about the diSSOlu
lion of the North Star association. They
say that it is dead cad, and that it will
be allowed to die slowly but surely.
One of the reasons advanced for its
early death is lack of funds to carry or
The work. Mayor Winston, as treas
arer of the North Star association, is in
position to know whether it has
money or not. He says of it:
''Ihe report that the North Star club
IS going out of business is incOrrec.
The club is out of debt and in position
to do a good deal of good for the party.
There is no reason why it should not
continue. The executive comittee of
the club will meet i'll this city next
The Democratic congressional COM
mittee of this district will meet next
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
city hall. The committee has not very
much business to transact, but Chair
man Jepson wants to get them together
TO talk politics, Notwithstanding his oft
announced condition of being out of
politics. The committee will decide
whether it will call the congressional
convention for the nomination of can
