CANDIDATES GALORE.

The Bulletin presents eleven candi-
dates for democratic nominations, thus
securing S55. as its first levy upon
democratic ambitions.
AS usual the office of Sheriff presents
the largest field. First on the list
appears sThos. R. Meehan, presenN
deputy sheriff and the supposed legatee
of the Bell strength. Mr.. Meehan has
made good deputy and we know moth.
ing against his character as either.
1t is thought by some that his qualif-
cations are rather those of deputy
than of sheriff, and it is even whisper
edIthat at the righttimeTom will throw
his strength to some other candidate
with the understanding that he retains
the deputyship. Perhaps this talk
does Mr.. Meehan an injustice.
Denny O'Brien the next on the list
is the heir apparent to the politlca
pull! and activity of the Denison gang.
The office holding aristocracy, the
men who are the powers behind the
throne: who have already decided who
shall run for treasurer two years from
now; who hand cut the Offices and share
in the profits, are all with Denny.
Denny is good man for the Office.
clever; straightforward and of good re
pute. Some say that his party service
does not entitle him to more than his
present deputy-ship; that he is now
we'll provided for and should be satisf.
ed. We do not blame Mr. O'Brien fer
wishing to improve his condition, es-
pecially as there are intimations that
if reelected the treasurer. knowing il

paved with good intentions?


Asa Butterworth of the Illinois
Central has SHE'D his castor into the
ring for surveyor. AS there is no one
else to take it Asa will doubtless be
nominated. After a Dow City youth
has had job with surveying gang
for few months he usually runs for
county surveyor, Harry Huntington
did. He was elected, and then again
he wasn't. Every once in while the
people think thew can get along with
out Uncle Morris then they find they
have another think" coming and elect
him again.
The county SUPPLEMENTARY promises
to afford one of the warmest fights.
Harrison Rudd is a strong Holman
man and says Ed Houston would be de-
| feated if nominated, The Bulletin also
| inclines to Hoffman and he has re-
ceived much encouragement as a
member of the O'Brien machine The
nomination for sheriff will decide the
nomination for uperintendent, If
OBrien wins, Hoffman wins, while
Houston is supposedly favorable tc
Cummings candidacy.

to be his last term, would like to re-
tain the deputy's salary nearer home,
1t remains to be seen whether the as
sistance of the Denison gang will be
help or a hindrance to Mr., O'Brien. At
present the indications are for close
contest in Denison between Meehan
and O'Brien, with the first ward con-
coded to Moloney.
II. j.. Cummings looms up from Char
ter Oak, contesting with O'Brien the
supremacy of the west end of the coun-
to, Denny comes from Soldier, but
Hank also has good graft there.
Hank is not much 70 look at but he is a
good deal of a 'singed cat, and usual
ly knows where he is at. He has
been deputy sheriff.
John Mallory is the third Den son
candidate, Joha is too quiet and un-
assuming ever to get democratic
nomination. He maybe disturbing
factor in the fight but his candidacy
will be a good deal like Bob Grason 5.
John would undoubtedly make a-@good
sheriff if he had the chance.
The last man in the field is Ed
Downey, the tall sycamore of jackson
township, leader of the Decentralization
an old timer and from party stand
point the most deserving of the bunch
Long before David Bennett Hill ever
thought of it, Ed Downey took for his

CATION as he pleased. OF late there
has been some division in Jackson
township democracy and it is no,
certain that Downey would run any
better than Holland did if he were
dominated. Downey is a straight
fellow, has seen hard service for
democracy and would'proba bly, make a
good sheriff
For supervisors Schroeder and

ROUNDABOUT.

The REVIEW wishes to endorse the
view taken by Secretary Shaw and
many others that $4,000 is entirely il :
adequate for the building OF suitable
court house for Crawford county
When the contract was let in June
there was but one bid below that
amount and that was but few hun
bred dollars below the figure. The
contractor who bid thus low was I'M
able to furnish bond. 1t seems hardly
probable that had there been even q
fair profit visible, the bond companies
would not'have furnished the security.
The failure was evidently due to the
fact that the experts felt that the
building could not be erected for the
money and that the contractor must
either slight the work or lose money
and in either event trouble and liz
cation would probably ensue, Already
the board is considering how to
cheaper the already nodes plans for
the court house. Brick may be substi-
tuted for stone and the tower left fer
some future generation to erect. Craw-
ford is a county rich enough and large
enough to erect a suitable county
building, one that viii suffice for the
future, one that viii stand as splendid
monument to the thrift and capacity
and far-sig of the people OF
today. 1t appears that after months Of
effort the board has been unable tc
make Roadway on the 49, 600 basis, apd
the voters of the county should add a
least $50, 00G to the building fund. W,
must confess however that we wouA
have much more confidence in TIL

willingness of the people to do this if
they knew that the money would be in
the hands of competent, law abiding
and nonpartisan board of supervisors
The present board with its carelessness,
its disregard for law and its extravG-
gance, has not inspired confidence in
the people. With such important
matters for consideration both parties
should be represented on the board and
the democrats of the county should be
generous enough and wise enough in
their own interests to concede it. The
fact that both parties are represented
will make the supervisors more care
full and more discreet and will make
the people secure that every dollar OF
the court house fund and all other
funds will be wisely spent The RE
VIEW favors the election of a non
partisan board and an increase in the
amount to be appropriated for cour'
house purposes.

Mr.. Chas. Tabor is telling a good
story about Al. Romans and Chas. Yoss
aud their Souvenir spoons. While on
British soil these gentlemen bought
number OF Souvenir spoons for gifts.
Thinking that any amount under $50.
was exempt from duty, they told the
custom officers that they had about
$1,000 worth apiece. The officer said
that he would like to see them in his
cabin The Denison gentlemen were
gratifed, they knew their fame had
preceded them but this added recoe-
milton was pleasing. Undoubtedly the
custom man waited to chat with them
about Denison, the home Of his chief.
They rather felt sorry for Tabor who
had not been invited to the interview.
The officer had good deal to say to
them He said souvenir spoons were
not exempt. that the tariff was 80 per
cent and then he commenced figuring
how much go per cent of $1,000 would
be. Mr.. Tabor tells the story that at
this iuncture Mr.. Voss suddenly re-
membered that his spoons had been
purchased at a bargain sale for 40 cents
each and that there were not as many
of them as he thought Mr. Romans
showed how his had been damaged by
fire and bit one Of them to show that it
was not sterling. The boys will not
tell how much duty they had to pay,
but we understand that Mr.. voss is
going to ask Secretary Shaw tor rul-
ing and that Mr. Romans is circulating
petition for the reinstatement of lady
inspectors. All of this may not be
true, but it makes good story just tt e
same.
