The TIMES had intended to remain
strictly neutral between the three
candidates for circuit Judge from
this county, but We can not and will
not, without protest, see one Of
tia candidates singled out by the
Democrat aud personal fight waged
upon him because of the unfriendli-
ness of the editor. This is so mani
testify unfair that every fair-minded
Democrat in the county will repudi-
ate it.

In submitting the proposition to
his competitors t. let their home
township decide who the candidate
should be from Bates county. Mr.
Graves had two objects. First he
would not ask the endorsement of
the county if he could not carry his
own township, and second it would
settle the controversy in Bates coun-
ty at once and leave the successful
candidate free to go into the other
counties and make fight for the
nomination.

Mr.. Graves is recognized by the
bar as being one of the best lawy ers
IN the state He has had a very
large experience in all the courts and
his phenomenal success demonstrates
that he not only possesses the energy
and industry to prepare his cases,
but knows the law and its applica-
ton. Such man we need on the
bench and would reflect credit upon
Bates county. We have an excel
lent opportunity to secure the cir
cult judgesbip this time if we make
the proper effort.

Dewey's flag ship, during the battle
of Manila, died at Kobe, Japan.

recognized by the President few
DAYS ago, when he was promoted.

TO say that the charge in e commu-

that he was instrumental in calling
an early judicial convention in that

the case by a gentleman in another
county, and that he immediately
wrote to his friends in Benton not
to oppose Mr.. Wheeler in the ee.ec
