Plan Does Not Affect Him.

Levy Courtman White Holds That Rotation
Plan Does Not Affect Him.
Levy Court Commissioner Henry M.
White was asked Saturday il an appiica-
ton would be made to the Democratic
County Committee for change in the
rules. Mr.. White, II will be remem-
bered, has announced himself as q can
didate for denomination for Levy Court
Commissioner in the Fourth district,
notwithstanding the fact that the rules
of his party provide for rotation In
office, which prot ision, u upheld in
the case of Mr.. White, will disbar that
resident of New Castle hundred, from
being candidate for years to come.
lfut Mr.. White does not let little
thing like the rules stand in the way
OF his being renominated. As Tim
Campbell OF New York said, whats
o little matter like the Constitution
between friends,". so Mr.. White might
say, Whats the Tarty rules amount
tc when your friends want you sent
back?''
So, in response to the question as
to whether an application would be
made to the committee, he said:
NO"
In the opinion of Mr.. White, the
rules are not the law, and the county
convention had no right to make rule
that would affect him while in Office.
He holds, therefore, that the Iulo is
nugatory as to him, and 60 be will
ignore it. He thinks, moreover, that
the rule may properly start with the
campaign following this SO that New
Castle hundred, his hundred, will he
the first to have nominee under it.
According to this view, he could be re-
nominated this timo, but not the next
time.

The Phillips Bee thus announ-
.ces the candidacy of N. E. Lane,
for Member of Assembly in this
district:
"For some weeks it has been
known that Hon. J. r. Farr
would not again be a candidate
for the Assembly and during the
past two weeks consider q de
pressure has been brought to
bear upon Nathan 8. Lane by
his friends to be a candidate tor
that office until he has consented
to do so. Mr.. Lane has been a
resident Of Price county for a
number Of years and has wide
acquaintance and all know him
as an able, conservative young
man upon whom the duties OF
office will aptly set. He has not
been an office seeker and as
mayor of the city of Phillips he
holds his first election office.
While he has always taken a
great deal of interest in politics
yet he has never made any enc
mics and at present is secretary
of the Republican County Com
1nittee.
He has always taken much in
terest in the development of
Northern Wisconsin and is just
the man that this district needs
at Madison to look after it's vel
fare and interests. We do not
believe that there is a man IN the
county of Price but who would
be pleased to see Mr.. Lane nomi-
mated and elected and we believe
he Will be-"
It is very generally conceded
by the Republicans Of this coun-
ty that Price county should be
accorded the honor of naming
the member Of Assembly from
this district for the second term.
Had Hon. r. Farr desired a re
nomination, he would have re
.ceived the enthusiastic support
of the Republicans Of this county
Now that he has concluded not
to accept a second term, the Re
publicans of this district will, in
all probability, unanimously ten
der the nomination to Mr.. Lane,
who is we'll known as clean,
capable young man and in every
way qualified for the duties OF
the Office.
