David Cochran, OF Wright county. has
finally decided that he does not want to
run OH the Populist ticket as candidate
for district Judge. Friday night he
withdrew his name from the judicial
ticket, and now the Populists have only
the three Democrats, MesSrS. Brooks,

AS a matter of fact, it was not at a
