Get the Easiest Way.
In connection with this interview a
queer incident comes in well. Two
men were standing in front of the
Knutsford hotel yesterday, looking at
that substantial and palatlal suruc-
ture and the plain board revival
Tabernacle" just north Of IL.

would YOU move?" asked ore.
The other looked at him n surprise.
'Why, the tabernacle, OF course" he
answered.
Il thought you'd say that. Now you
pretend to be a staurch silver man,
ready to do anything to "emonetize
the white metal. And yet you stay
with the Republican party. 10 move

More Candidates Appearing.
New elements are appearing in the
contest for the federal district judge
ship 1t appears that the Young law
yers of the city have started in on
campaign Of their own and intend to
carry their plan through If hard work
will do it. Several young hustlers OF
both parties are already at work to
create sentiment in favor of W. c.
Hall as a possibility. Mr.. Hall has
already been seen by reprasa ntatives
of this movement, and has said that
he would accept the Judgeshlp II II

lands first administration.
It is also being quietly whispered
around that Mayor Bashln VIII be
factor in the race. He has had enough

by the federal judgeship, where a

cares of political strife. lie HIS made
an enviable record for honesty during
his term as mayor and viii receive
some strong backing.
Johnny Zane's Ambition.
The zane family evidently intends
to be right in the fight this year
1t has been one of their characteristics
to possess an abnormal ambition for
place holding This is pretty early in
the season, but already two are 70 the
front, and they are the principal ones.
Curiously enough the combination
keeps up the old conditions about
which lawyers have been raising 90
jections so long. Judge Zane is can
didate for the supreme bench, Johnny
is out for the -generalship OF
the new state. Should they both sue
coed, son will again practice before
father. But there is little danger OF
that. According to the present list OF
Republican supreme court candidates
the Democratic judicial ticket viii
carry with a whOop even if all the rest
are defeated.
He Is Too Malignant.
But then there is not much danger
that Johnny will even get nominated.
The judge may succeed, and probably
will. But Johnny is not the most popu-
lar candidate in his own party Re
publicans like to go and hear him say
bitter things The American people
somehow enjoy those treats. But while
they applaud the malignity and gen
eral responsibility of the speaker
they lose their respect for him. He is
popular with them on every cay eX-
cept election DAY, or nomination day.
Then their contempt for such malIS-
nifty gets a chance and the man is
shown where he stands. As much de-
sired as he is when Speakers are de-
manded, Johnny Zane is not an i'm
portant factor before the voters. There
are already more popular Republicans
in the field for the place and he will
probably be shelved.
The Contest Becoming Warm.
BY the way, the contest for the
attorney-generalsh threatens to be-
come very warm. The salary is adj
mittedly not commensurate with the
work to be performed or tn ability
needed: but as a man is not to be
taken from his practice, but rather
aided in it there are a number OF good
lawyers who feel that they can afford
to run. So far Dennis Eichnor and
Barlow Ferguson are the most active
candidates. Both are rustlers and little
inclined to sit idly by waiting for offices
TO ONE to them. They want the office
and are going after it for good and all.
Frank Pierce is also being pressed to
the front. He is perhaps the ablast law
yer who is mentioned so far, out he is
not success as a patriot. He made an
enviable record in the constitutional
convention. as one of the frequent abb
sentees. He is not entitled to cred
even for the educational article, though
chairman of the committee Most OF
the work was shifted onto other
shoulders, particularly those of Prof.
Kerr
Those who do not think that Colonel
Ike is setting the pace with the small
fry Republicans should keep their eye
on Jake Moritz. Jake has an idea that
he can put on just as much style as
the interloper from California, and so
he has come out with a colored driver
who rivals Ikes importation just about
as the moon rivals the sun. But Jake
may be expected to blossom out more
in the near future.
