MARSHALL COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Have Candidates for Congress and State
Offices, wise and OKeeie the Men.

| A stan correspondent vi Tue luciau'
apolis News visited the Thirteenth
Congressional district last week clos
ing his work at Plymouth last Friday
and he tells his paper that Eddie"
Fogarty will not be a candidate for
governor on the democratic ticket nor
will he allow his name to be used as a
candidate for congress from the
Thirteenth district. "Eddie's' off,
cial title is mayor Of South Bend, and
because of his running ability and his
personal popularity the democratic
leaders have been trying to force him
into all sorts of races. Mayor Fogarty
will not give out personal interview
denying that he will be a candidate
for governor, but those who are close
to him and know bis miud are well
aware that all the talk of his candi-
dacy is without bis consent.
1t is understood that Frank Herring,
who made such a disastrous race for
congress against Abraham Lincoln
Brick, is willing to be forced into the
contest again, but there does not seem
to be aH extraordinary amount Of pres
sure being brought to bear upon him
in that line.
In fact, there is feeling among
the democrats of the Thirteenth dis
trict that the congressional nominee
ought to come from somewhere else
than st. Joseph county. When that
county has democratic nominee, the
republicans put up a much harder
fight than when the nominee is from
somewhere else. They are on their
nettle to give the republican candi-
date as big plurality as possible
through local pride, and though the
democrats work as bard as they can,
it is well understood that when the re-.
publicans make a real out-and-out
fight ia st. Joseph county, the demo-
Gratis are sure to suffer by it. So all
over the district there is a sentiment
that the democratic nominee be taken
from some Of the other counties. But
the trouble is to get some one to &C
lcept the nomination.
Here in this county-Marshall-
there is a young lawyer who would
make good candidate if he would
consent. His name is Adam Wise and
ia politics his name has a good deal
of significance. He showed what he
could do in the late ee-for-all fight
for delegates to the democratic ma.
tional convention. A Hearst club was
organized, but it was not doing much
good until Adam Wise was elected
chairman. Then the club went out
and beat them all a city block, cap
turing almost the entire county dele
CATION for Hearst. OF course be lost
out at indianapolis, but Mr.. Wise de-
livered the goods SO far as Marshall
county is concerned. Mr.. Wise Is un-
decided what he will do until after
the st. Louis convention. He is strong
in the belief that Hearst will be nom-
mated for the presidency end IL so Mr..
Wise may decide to give Congressman
Brick chance on the political track.
And if he does the republicans will
lind they are not running against
Frank Herring or Dr. Bowers
Marshall county may have a demo-
cratic candidate for a state office.
William O'Keefe, present county
treasurer, is contemplating asking for
the nomination for state treasurer,
and his platform is such an unusual
one that he will get a good, strong
support. Four years ago, when Mr.
lO'Keefe announced himself for the
county treasureship, he declared that
if elected he would turn back into the
treasury all interest on the county
funds in his charge. He said that as
the law contemplated that the county
treasurer shall receive straight SAL
airy, 1t would be vioaltion of the law
to take the interest and he stood for
the law. He was nominated and elect
ed. and when lie leaves the Office he
will have turned back to the county
about $4,000 in interest that generally
goes into the pockets of the treasurer.
| Now Mr.. O'Keefe declares that if
be should be elected state treasurer
he will observe the law governing that
office. The state funds will remain
in state vaults, and any extra money
that is not specially stated shall 60 to
the treasurer shall go to the state.
All ae will ask will be the salary paid
by law to the Treasurer of State.
Aowever, he has not decided to be a
candidate. He Is one OF the leaders of
the Bryan-Hearst men in this county
and the result of the national conven-
tion at st. Louis may cause him to
Withdraw from the race for state
treasurer.
