Now that the presidential and
gubernatorial candidates have been
selected the next on the list is the
D congressman, representative and
county officers. a
For Congressman, the present out
look indicates there will be two
candidates, j. T. McCleary and Fl:
j. Miller. The first named has been
congressman for twelve successive
years and whether held by Mr.. Nc
Cleary or some one else, it is an
Office that long service will better
enable the incumbent to render bet
ter service each year if he is dillgent
in the work. Mr.. McCleary claims
he stands squarely upon the plat
form Of the party, and it was not
necessary to change his attitude on
any question to do so. Mr.. Miller
is quite an able man. A man with
an unimpeachable character and
reputation. He made a splendid
record as state senator and is an all
around clean man. It is hardly
/ probable The will defeat Mr.. Nc
Cleary this year.
For representatives, there are j.
M. Dickson and S. o. Morse as an
nounced candidates, of Murray
county, both good men according to
reports. Some think Mobiles county
should support Morse because he
made such a good run before, while
others think he has had one chance
and should now step aside. Some
of the friends of Il. W. Wilson, in
both counties, are urging him to
again. enter the contest claiming he
will poll a larger vote than before,
especially as there are two candid
ates in Murray to divide the vote.
Others think Murray county should
BIZ given the representative as Mob
les county now has the senatorship.
For Auditor, E. Z. Pannell has
made a very capable and efficient
officer and when an officer conducts
the Office properly it has been Gust
omary to give them a second term
without opposition in their own
party.
For Register of deeds there ap-
pears to be an excellent crop Of can
didates in sight, anyway, Loren
Clark and 81. Hawley are the only
ones so far announced. The first
man named is just making his en-
trance into politics. He is a young
man of excellent character and rep
utation, steady and Industrious and
is one who attends to business mat
ters as should he done. The second
named, editor of. this paper, has lab
ored d good many years for the
party success; without thought of
asking for favors before, but circum-
stances change conditions. We con-
slider ourself fully competent in ev-
cry way. The personal record feat
ure IS left for our enemies and
friends to explain. j. NJ Messer,
now in the Citizens National Ban k
and looking after G.. D. Dayton's
remaining interests and {. q. Hal
varson, Of Lismore, are mentioned
as probable candidates. In fact the
first named and his friends have
done considerable work in his be-
half. They both a1e men whom
any one can say are alright. There
is some talk that B. I. Trip will be
candidate for a third term. Mr..
Trip has been an excellent officer
and no one can further their own
interests on this point. Third term
ers, in Offices where the holder can
not better serve the people by reas-
on of long service are not looked on
with general favor now days.
For Treasurer, E. K. Smith, editor
of the Herald, Jas. Montgomery, of
Wilmont, and John Shaw, of Little
Rock are mentioned. The first
smed is ere CT the wheel horses
of the party. His capabilities are
