of the Twelfth judicial district to back
him, with a good show of Clay county
delegates besides. F. H. Woodward,
ex-member of the legisla ture from Re
public county. is also mentioned for
delegate.
1t is claimed that DIR. ]. H. Briefly.
of Glasco, refuses to be a candidate
for the legislature of Cloud county, but
| his friends claim that he will be in
the race for the state senate in the
Cloud-Republic district until the con-
vention selects the nominee. Republic
county will not have a candidate-not
now, but Cloud county will probably
have three, Chas. N. Peck, DR.. j. H.
Briefly and w. w. Caldwell With the
Cloud county delegation divided among
three candidates, which now looks
probable Republic county delegates
will go into the convention solid, and
may hold the winning trump. Republic
county isn't saying a word about the
state senator, they want the district
judge. but If the Cloud county con-
tingent can't get together on candi-
date for the senate, then Republic coun-
ty won't kick if she secures both Sen
ator and judge. And there are some in
this county who are watching the
scrap" in Cloud county, and wishing
that senatorial lightning might hit
their poles.
A stalwart Republican writes as fol-
lows from his Fifth district town: This
ldCllOudl lIidI is SOiHS Oh IL
disgusting to me. Let Burton & Co.
and Leland and his cohorts go to- and
in the future let us work for our own
interest and the interests of the party
in this district" The letter was writ
ten by a postmaster and addressed to
another postmaster.
Robert Missen of Concordia, so his
friends say would like to succeed e.
n. Peck for member of the legislature
from Cloud county. And why not
Peck will not have the legislative honor
again, he is a candidate for the state
senate. Missell would be a valuable
successor of Peck. He has been help
ing his friends these many years to get
positions, and believing that fair play
is honorable. they want to help Missell
to go to the legislature or any posltlol
he aspires to.
B. T. Bullen. of Belleville, which is
situated in the kingdom of the Fifth dis
! trict denies rumor that he is a posi-
BILE candidate for congress to succeed
I Caldwell He says that under no cir
cumstances will he be a candidate, nor
would he accept the nomination if ten
cered him. His political ambition is to
serve the people as county attorney
/ This reminds some of the kicking Eel
lows of the conference few of the Re-
publicans held in .Belleville last winter
and apportioned out the political plums
as follows: Dick Ward for penitentiary
warden: ]. +. Close, assistant attorney
! general in this deal it is claimed {. o.
Hugos present member of the legisla-
ture from Republic county, was to De
renominated and elected for his support
of Senator Burton to satisfy the wishes
of J. A. Mosher; w. T. Dillon was to be
made district judge as far as the con-
| ference was concerned: B. T. Bullen was
to receive the county attorney; Schuy-
/ Ter drummer was to be appointed assist
ant state bank inspector, and Amos
Pierce would succeed Mrs. Madge Long
as postmaster at Belleville. Some of
the deal has worked successfully; will
the rest of it come to pass? is burn

The Twelfth judicial district tight
| composed of the counties of Cloud, Re
public and Washington, is liable to re-
| suit in some surprises. Two of the coun-
ties. Republic and Washington. have

| the former. and r p Roney in the lat
ter. Cloud county may get into the race
with one or more candidates. ex-Juoge

will be renominated by acclamation.
Fred Sturgis. Jr.. wants to be county at

his father from being a candidate for

gis' warm personal friends throughout

likelihood be able to dictate who the
Republican nominee will be.
