PoIItIca in the FIlteenth pLatrIct.

The Populist Judicial Convention In
the Jewell Smith Mitchell Osborne dis
trict was held at Beloit yesterday. The
ADVOCATE goes to press too early to
get q report Of the work done. There
were three candidates whose names
were considered by the county ConVen-
tions. They were Judge Heren Of
Osborne, the present incumbent, M. r.
Sutherland Of Jewell and l.. @. Uhl of
Smith. Considerable opposition hes
been manifested toward Judge Heren,
principally because he has held the
Office two terms. Mr.. Sutherland has
served as County Attorney Of Jewell
County two terms, has made a good
record, is recognized as q good lawyer
and is a thorough Populist. Mr.. Uhl
is lawyer of extended experience and
is known as a very fair, reasonable
man. He Is q Democrat, but since
1890 he has invariably acted with the
Populists, and 80 far as his personal
idea Of political questions is concerned,
he is In accord with Populists. That
he enjoys the esteem Of the people Of
his county Is shown by the fact that In
the days when Republicans bad con.
troll Of Smith County he was elected
County Attorney once or twice.
This convention had good timber
from which to select a nominee. II
could not have made bad mistake If
the choice was made from the three
named. The county conventions TO
elect delegates were held Saturday and
resulted as near as can be learned az
follows: Smith, Uhl 8; Jewell, Suther
land 10; Mitchell, Uhl 4; Heren 4; 0s-
