McDougai to the Front.

In it's proper column in this paper may be seen the formal an nouncement of Dr. J. r. McDougal !, of Johnson township, as q candi- date Tor County and Probate Judge of St. Francis county, subject of course, 10 the action of the demo cratic primary election to be holden on July F, 1902.
 Dr. MeDougal is the only aspi
 razt from the outlying districts He has lived in Johnson township for fourteen years, and during that time has nearly always been cho- n to represent his township in tle conventions and public affairs of his party. He is consistent democrat, and where best known is most popular, as is evidenced by t'e hearty support and endorse ment he has received from his homefolks in his present aspira- tons. Dr. McDougal has never h eld public office, except q Depu- ty United States Marshalship un- der Jas. Freeman and T: B. Yam cey. He was an eff eient officer, and as thoroughly qualified to dis, charge the duties of the office to which he now asplres. He in- forms the writer that he is candi- date upon his merits; that he will make T close canvass, and it chosen, will esteem il the greatest honor of his life. He is opposed to the use of liquor as vote getter and will resort to no methods of which any christian gentleman might be ashamed. He is glad of the recent large acquisitions to the party by reason of q reunited democracy, and will use hls best endeavor5 to still further cement the prese gratifying condition of harmony.
 Our subject is a practicing phy- sician, enjoying the esteem and confidence of a large circle of friends. He is q man of undoubt- ed integrity. firm convictions, and moral courage. If elected he will discharge the dutes of the office to the best of his ability and in the best interest of the whole peo- ! pie. We ask for him your impar- tial and kindly consideration.

JUDGE CONAN ASPIRES.

The formal announcement of Judge J. s. R. Cowan appeared in the last issue of The Times, but owing to the lateness of its arrival, and lack of time, we were unable to call particular attention to his claims.
 It is a well.known fact that l he Times believes Judge Cowan to haze been one of the most progress sive and comparatively and cor respondingly economical Judges that St. Francis county has ever had. If, however, he had abso- Iutely no other recommendation to the favorable notice of the voter, the very fact of his having built that handsome court house, and arranged for the payment of its cost without in any way in- CT easing the burden of taxation, is in itself sufficient to entitlo his aspirations 10 the grayest con. sideration.
 But Judge Cowaa has other claims. He occupies a lofty posi- ton in his party as a true and tried democrat of sound, cool and conservative, though nevertheless 1 fl xed judgment. He is safe and tar seeing leader. He is man of sterling integrity, sober, reliable, competent, and wlthal has had four years experience in conduct ing the affairs of the county. Judge Cowan would probably have had no opposition should he have aspired to a third term, but the salary of the office is meager, and at that time, owing 10 various una. workable causes, scrip was de- preciatcd, and he rightfully felt that he should be promoted, and aspired to the shrievalty. In this he was unsuccessful, and since then has not been in politics for a l livlihood. 1t was his intention to eschow politics, but he has been constantly urged by friends who know of his peculiarly modest dis position, and his undoubted ability and fitness for the place to again enter the arena, and he has done so, and hopes that his record is such that he will command the support of good large majority of the united democracy, with out having to make an unseemly scramble for it. While he would like to meet each and every voter and make a vigorous, high-toned canvass, other duties will prevent. ! h closing this notice Of Judge

heretofore mentioned the an
 nouncement of Capt. Folbre, and m Q manner set forth his claims,
 which are entitled to the most pro- found consideration. He IS q man of sterling integrity, a simon'pure democrat, Q practical business man who has managed his own affairs successfully, and during former official service gave the utmost satisfaction in the administration of the affairs of the offices he he'd. He is really too well and tavorabiy known for us to be able to intro duce or commend his qualities of head and heart. He Is genial, a true friend, sympathetic, brave, in fact he stands pre.eminent in all the precious attributes of true manhood. If elected he will no doubt wear the ermine becoming ly and to the credit of his coLstit- ueney. Ii another should be chosen he will not sulk, but will take his place in the ranks, and follow his leader. We bespeak for Capt. Folbre your hearty sup port.

Cowan's announcement, wo can make no more fitting comments than the following from the St, Francis County News:
 "It should be the aim of every loyal democrat to support the as- pirant upon whose shoulders the mantle of authority will fall most becomingly-somc one whose com potency and ability to take up the work where it was left off is not questioned and in whom confi- donce may be placed for the faith ful and intelligent administration of the county's affairs.
 Cowan has made slch an off cial and being thoroughly in touch with the duties and requirements Of the position should strengthen his chances of success in the pres ent campaign. His record as gen. tleman and an officer is before you for endorsement. It rests with the democracy whether or not it shall be approved or disproved by an expression Of its sovereign will Ut the polls on July 12, 1902"

PLANS FOR SUBWAY.
Mr.. Richards Views Regarding New
Union Station.

w. p. Richards, assistant engineer in the
District service, has submitted a report to
the Commissioners on a suggestion from
Lafayette c. LOOMS, asking that provision
be made in the plans Of the new terminal
station for subway at the intersection
OF New York avenue and the railroad
boulevard at Edwin street, Montello
The idea advanced by Mr.. LOOMS" says
MI. Richards, seems to be imprac.icable
because OF the probable location of the
pennsylvania railroad through the southern
part Of this subdivision. On account Of the
way in which the Pennsylvania tracks will
cross New York avenue in the vicinity OF
Edwin street. 1t is considered advisable to
crop out the extension OF this avenue north
and east OF Montana avenue, and also to
rearrange the present location OF l., v and
w streets as laid down in the permanent
system Of highways.
These changes. will make the ;dea Of Mr..
Loomis still more difficult O.. execution. and
1t does not seem to me that any crossing Of
the railroad should be contemplated be-
tween Baltimore street and Montana ave-
nue. along lines adjacent to the Monticello
subdivision.
LOOMS objections concerning connection
with New York avenue that a diagonal
street 400 feet north of that avenue has
been laid of for the very purpose of serving
the Montello and Langdon subdivisions.
This office has all along insisted on the
opening of 18th street for the very purpose
mentioned, and / believe that the present
connections across the railroad by means
of 9th. 18th and 18th streets, and Montana
avenue will be found sufficient: for the
future needs Of this section"
