ate candidate for judge of the court
OF appeals from this district, to sue
coed Judge J. ID. White, of Bardwell,
which meets in Paducah next Monday

politicians from all over the state, in
GLIDING the Democratic candidates for
the various state offices, will be here.

Yesterdays Louisville Times prints
the following special regarding the
contest:
The four aspirsnts for the nomina-
ton are Judge J. d. White, OF Gar
Isle, the incumbent; Circuit Judge J.
e. Robbins, OF Graves; Circuit Judge
Thomas p. Cook, Of Galloway, and
Circuit Judge T. J. Mum, of Hop
kins. All are popular men, with
strong followings.
Geographically speaking, at least.
Judge Num- would seem to have the
advantage, being the only candidate
above the rivers, Will @ in the First
congressional district, which has bare
ly enough votes to nominate, there are
three candidates TO divide the vote.
Politically, however, Judge White is
very strong, particularly as he is seek
ing Endorsement after having served
an unexpired term.
II is now conceded that the respect
i've candidates will go into the con-
vention with the following instructed
vote:
Judge white-Ballard, o; Carlisle,
8; Hickman, 8; McCracken, is. To-
tai, Al.
Judge Cook-Calloway, IA; Lyon,
8; Trigg, 6; Christian IS. Total, 43.
Judge Nunn-Livingston, 8; Grit
tenden, s; Hopkins, II; Caldwell, :.
Total, 40.
Judge Robbins-Graves, "a.
The battle-ground is now in the
counties OF Henderson, Union, Web
ster, Marshall and Fulton, with
strength OF 63 votes. OF these it is
claimed that Webster, 12, Henderson,
20, and Uniou, is, will send unin-
struoted delegations. They are in the
district of Judge Dorsey, who recent
ly declined to make the race after hav-
ing been considered q candidate for
some time past.
In the other two counties, Marshall
and Fulton, the former with eight,
and the latter with seven votes, the
fight is now being waged with great
vigor.
In Marshall the fight is between
Robbins and Cook, and in Fulton be-
tween White and Robbins. Should
Judge Robbins get of the track, both
White and Cook claim that Graves
vote would go to them, but the pre-.
vailing belief seems to be that it
would go to White.
