Secretary Bush Decides Against a
judicial District Fusion.

JUDICIAL OlSCr1cG + uS1On-
W. E. Bush, secretary of state, this
afternoon decided that the name of
Judge C. w. Mckay of Anthony can
not go on the official ballot in the
Twenty-fourth district as the Demo
cratic nominee for judge.
Mr.. Bush takes this position because
the certificate submitted by the com
ruittee does not contain the name and
residence of the candidate and second
~, because the Democratic central COM
mittee did not comply with the require
ments of the election law in nominating
Judge Mckay.
The district is composed of Harper
Stafford, Pratt and Barber counties
The protest which Mr.. Bush sustained
alleges that two or three Democrats
got together and agreed that it was too
late to call q Democratic convention
and agreed to put McKay's name on the
ticket A certificate of nomination was
accordingly filed by them a few days
ago
Mckay was first elected to the bench
eight years ago and came into prom
inence then because he was not then
lawyer and it was an unprecedented
proceeding to elect a man to the bench
who had never practiced law. He was
renominated for a third term by the.
POpulists a few weeks ago.
