lFrom SATURDAYS Daly.l
H. E. Valentine of Centerville who
was on Thursday nominated for Judge
by the democrats of the Second judi
cial district in convention assembled
in this city. is not as yet sure that he
will make the race In regard to the
case, the Centerville Citizen says:
H. E. Valentine was honored by
the democrats of the Second judicial
district in their convention at Ottum-
wa yesterday afternoon by their ten
dering to him the nomination on their
ticket for one of the four judges of this
district. The Citizen called up Mr.Val-
entine this morning and told him of
the action of the convention and asked
him whether or not he expected to ac-
cept the nomination. He said he had
not thought anything about it and
could not say whether he would accept
or decline. He said it came so sudden
and unexpected that he had not had
time to think about it His old law
partner. Judge Nermillion. is candi
date on the republican ticket and it is
likely Mr.. Valentine hesitatss to make
a fight against him as he of course
would dislike to defeat Judge Wermil-
ion who was a college friend and part
ner in the practice for several years.
1T has been reported that Mr.. Val
entine will be candidate for the
nomination by the democrats Of this
county for the office of county attor-
ney Mr.. Valentine was asked about
this Also but he was as non-commit-
tai in this as he was regarding his
nomination for judge. Whether or not
Mr.. Valentine accepts this nomina-
ton, the honor to him and the recog-
milton of his ability as jurist is just
as great, and is highly endorsed and
appreciated by his Centerville friends. .
