nominations failed to be acted on, includ-
ing many nominations 10 minor Offices

Mr.. Alexander is sending out circular
letters through the mail to the voters.

bar of this circuit. stating that he is
candidate. modestly alluding to his quail
ficatlons and asking support.
An item has been going the rounds of
the weekly press of the state with favor
able comment. 10 the effect that Hon.
Martin V Calvin, of this county, is
candidate for the office of state school
commissioner. IL is due Mr.. Calvin that
1t should be said that he has not announc-
ed himself a candidate for that position
or authorized such an announcement.
The item alluded TO doubtless grew out
OF the fact that his name has been re-
peatedly mentioned in connection with
that Office.
This is natural, for the people know
that Mr.. Calvin has not only had q long
term I'm the legislature. but that the acts
OF the general assembly for each OF the
sixteen years he was a member OF the
house bear strong testimony TO his faith
fulness and good sense as a legislator
He was conspicuous in the general as
sembly not only as al friend and advocate
OF AGRICULTURAL ana educational progress.
but a friend to every measure that looked
to the Advancement of the interests OF
all the people.
IL Is. likewise. we'll known that, when
| the common schools had exceedingly few
| friends, Mr. Calvin stood at the front
battling for them. 1t is not known wheth-
/ er ne will consent TO enter the race for
school commissioner. 1t is generally I'M
/ derstood that his ambition does not run
along that line. but the hope is expressed
! that he may be induced to allow the use

BROADER GENERAL HUGHES
RETURNS FROM PHILIPPINES

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1O.-Brigadier
General Robert p. Hughes. who returned
from Manila on the transport Warren
after three years service in the Philip
pines. is on leave OF absence. during
which he will visit Washington and other
eastern cities He said that while the
situation in the islands is slowly improv-
ing, it would be long time before the
troops can be withdrawn or their num-
Der materially lessened. He has very
little faith in the professed friendship of
the Filipinos. He believes that their ap-
parent acceptance OF the new condition OF
affairs is dictated largely by self interest
and that at heart they have very little
sympathy with the Americans. Strict
military rule will be necessary for some
time to come, he thinks.
