II. W. b. Hewen. from South Bend, who
cantured the much-coveted nomination for
superior judge for Lewis. Pacific and
Wahkiakum counties last Thursday at Ia
coma. has been in ChshaIis FOR a couple Of
days. making himself acquainted with the
citizens. Pacific eHd Nahkiakum coun-
ties stood by Mr. Hewen 20 a man for SIX
ballots. The DELEGATES from this county
were divided between several candidates.
and the contest was quite spirited. The
best of feeling prevailed. however. All
parties interested ere well satisfied with
the outcome. and the nominee has 10
more hearty supporters in the campaign
than his late opponents. David Stewart.
Of Chehalis. and A. z. Rice. of Centralia.
Mr.. Hewen has been a resident Of South
Bend for six years. He Is senior member
OF the firm OF Hewen & StrattoB. which
has come 10 be regarded as one of the
ablest legal firms in this part of the state.
Mr.. Stratton is prosecuting attorney or
Pacific county and has Just been renomI-
mated. Mr.. Hewen has made a very Ia
vorable impression In Chehaiis. and Re
publicans sTe counting upon him lending
much strength 10 the ticket. As the dis
trict has heretofore been largely Repub-
lican. Ii Is d reasonable certainty that he
VIII be Judge Laug horne's successor.
The Democrats will hold their judicial
convention at ChehaGs next Tuesday. 1t
is impossible to- pick the winner Of the
nomination. As an attempt viii probably
be made TO make combination on a ticket
in Lewis county with the Populisis, and
that party has no candidate for judge in
the district. Ii is altogether likely that the
Populist leaders VIII be listened to before
the selection Is made. Elliott. Fickens
and Maurice Ianghorue. OF Chehals.
Iandrum OF Centralla and FerTandini OF
South Bend are outspoken candidates. and
there may be others. II is considered GER
tain that the DELEGATES from Lewis county
viii be abe 20 agree on q man, so that
the nominee will be Lewis county attor-
ney. Lewis county has majority OF the
delegates in the convention.
