can State Convention.

Popular Official.

George w. Gamble, circuit clerk of
Rock Island county, will in all prob
ability be before the republican
state convention two years hence
for the nomination as candidate for
clerk of the appellate court of the Sec
ond district, which embraces 80 coun-
ties.
Mr.. Gamble on the first Monday n
December will enter upon his fourth
consecutive term as circuit clerk of
Rock Island county. Before his cleo
ton as circuit clerk he served as dep
uty under Circuit Clerk Bowman. He
is popular official, not alone in his
home county, but throughout the
northern portion of the state, and his
friends have been urging him for sew
eral years TO seek for the appellate
court clerkship. This position is now
filed by Chris Duffy. Mr.. Duty has
a strong following, but republican
leaders recognize the fact that some
other county is entitled to the
Office, which has been held for many
years by Mr.. Duffy. The appellate
court sits at Ottawa. The clerkship
pays about So, GOO a year. The term
is four years.
Well Fitted for Duties.
MIR. Gam ble's long service as cir
cult clerk amply fits him for the du-
ties Of the appellate court clerkship.
He has received assurances of sup
port from a number of counties in
the Second district, and if he puts
forth the effort that his friends are
anxious that he should, will in all
likelihood secure the nomination.
Mr.. Gamble last Tuesday was re-
turned as circuit clerk for four years
more. He states in the event of his
nomination for appellate court clerk
he would resign his position here.
