Since Judge N. A. Stedman has re-

would not be a candidate for the noml-
nation of railroad commissioner before

leaked out here that move is on foot
by the ex-Fort Worth Judges friends
TO have him placed Mt the head of the

well known and has been admitted by
Judge Stedman, would he most con-
genial one to him. The work is such
as would be most pleasant and ac-
ceptable. and in view OF the fact that
the salary has been fixed at $4,000 n
year, II is generally believed that
