TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.
starke and Pulaski Democrats Una
BILE to Agree on Judicial Candidate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WINAMAC, Ind. July 22.-The chairman
of the Starke county Democratic committee
openly declares he will not sign the joint
call TO the judicial convention until Mr..
NJ. NJ. Hathaway, of Pulaski county steps
out OF the judicial race and gives Judge
George Beeman, OF Starke county, the re-
nomination. Starke county had selected
judicial delegates and they were instructed
to vote as a unit for Beeman's renomina-
ton. Pulaski county wanted the judicial
plum, having several favorite sons, among
them NJ. NJ. Hathaway. With the aid Of
Philip Delinger, county chairman. John II.
Reddick county school superintendent: j.
J. Gorrell, editor of the Pulaski County
Democrat. George w. Thompson and W.
II. Thompson a plan was arranged by
which three men were TO be appointed by
the chairman OF the county delegate con-
vention and these three men were TO select
the judicial delegates for Pulaski county,
who were instructed TO vote as unit for
M. NJ. Hathaway.
In the coming campaign Starke and
Pulaski counties will each have a candi-
date for the judicial race Ex-Judge VII
liam Spangler will be the Republican nomi-
nee and I'm view OF the Democratic division
probably will be the next judge of the
Fourty-fourth district Prominent Demo-
Gratis oppose the nomination Of Hathaway
and also declare they will not vote for
Populist who was nominated for joint SEN
ator from Cass and Pulaski counties. Pu-
lasN county will give Republican ma
iority this fall.
