Judge Church has made a creditable
record on the district bench and as he
jis Il popular man and something of
politician himself his candidacy will be
OF considerable Importance in the north
western part of the state. Judge Dew
sy's candidacy Will be subject TO the de-
termination of the people of his own
county. He has announced himself at
home firstsand he hopes to get the dele
cation from his county. But there is
not a particle of doubt that Col. Dave
Palmer also wants the delegation to
belp him into the nomination for gov.

aef Clarinda. Page county Whether
this is a serious matter or only another
Ireserya ton joke refloftls TO be seen. But
ltime was when Clark was considered n
possibility in connection with the office
/ of governor. He was the author of the
present prohihitory liquor law, which

i the statute books. The fact that men
1 who have been largely instrumental in
hedging the law about so that it has
little semblance of its former self have
steen highly honored by the party and
some of them are now seeking high hon
eors, has suggested to some of the prohi-
nitionists of the old school that ii is
time to make a demonstration If they
are to do this ex- Senator Clark is the
right man. In this county, for Instance.
Tan effort is being made by some of the
friends of Foster to force the temper
ance mel into line for him because of
the fact that at one time in his life
IsCummins was an active opponent of

minis on this question. an antagonism
which remained dormant as long as Mr.
and not state office. Whether this

Cummins remains to be tested.
The Shaw party at the Savery was an
imposing affair. If the giving of par
ties of this Kind is a necessary adjunct
of the Office of governor then the salary
ought to be increased The fSavery par
lcrs and corridors We're Handsomely
decorated and there was fine music. The
ladies' displayed fine gowns and the men
came attired in their dress suits The
society people of the city We're there in
numbers and a good many from out of
town. Itis said that more than thou
sand invitations We're sent out.
