PETERS HAS COME OUT
His Home Paper Formally An
nOumces Him For Governor.
He Has Sent Out Letters to
Harvey Co. Delegates
Asking Them Not to Pledge Them
selves to Anyone as He VIII
Probably be in the Race

The last lingering doubt that Judge
IS. r. Peters of Newton viii be in the
race for the Republican nomination
for governor is removed by the publ
cation of the following editorial in the
Newton Republican:
Judge S. r.. Peters win be a candi-
date for governor He has sent out let
tiers to each of the Harvey county dele
gates to the state convention asking
them not to pledge themselves to any
candidate as he would probably be in
the race for gubernatorial hOnors- He
said in his letters that he would not
announce himself until after the Re
publican state central committee met
He is firmly convinced that Governor
Morrill, cannot be nominated. Judge
Peters is in Larned today and could not
be interviewed, but the above infOrma-
tion is authentic"
The Newton Republican is the Re
publican organ at Judge Peters home
and it is evident that the announcement
As authorized by some one qualified to
speak.
When Cy Leland deserted Governor
Morrill, it was generally understood that
NE would strain every nerve to get
Governor Morrill, off the track and
bring out Judge Peters.
When Judge Peters was interviewed
he emphatically denied that he would
be a candidate and said that he was
in favor of the denomination of Gov
ernor Morrill,. Then he went to Troy
and had an interview with the Repub-
lican boss and plan was formed to
drive Governor Morrill, out Of the field
Every prominent Republican in the
state under the influence of Cy Leland
received a letter requesting him to adj
wise Governor Morrill, to withdraw.
Judge Peters then made a slight quail
dcation of his former statements. He
said he would not be a candidate SO
long as Governor Morrill, remained
candidate.
But Governor Morrill, became Obdur-
ate. He turned a deaf ear to the plead
ings of Cy Leland's lieutenants and
told every one that he would stay i'm
the race and nothing could induce him
to withdraw. Boss Cy was interviewed
on every hand and he insisted that he
was neither for Morrill,, Troutman nor
Potter but that he would find someone
70 support before the state cnvention-
Judge Peters was again interviewed,
but he suddenly refused to say wheth-
er or not he would be a candidate The
calling OF the state convention had
been deferred as long as possible to
give the leaven time to get in its work
on Gov. Morrill, but Boss Cy's plan
failed and Judge Peters has been COM
PEELED to so into the race with Governor
Morrill, on the track or stay out alto
gether- He has chosen the former
course.

change of venue to Sank county in the
two damage cases brought against
them by boys injured by runaway pa

Crownhart. owen & Foley. attorneys
for the plaintiffs have decided not to
make any objections to the change,
for the reason that the law provides
for the bringing of such actions in the
county wherein the defendants reside,
and as BarabOo, in Sank county, is the
home of the Ringlings and the head
quarters of the circus, they are entitled
to have the action brought there 1t is

that the ends Of justice require it.

the dOings of the entire systems.
The reports are in the form of print
ed and ruled books with plenty of

A new feature this year is the re-

the state lines as separate from the
rest of the roads. They will probably
not be returned Tor a month.
