DEMOCRATS ENDORSE JUDGE GILLRrr,

The democrats of the Twenty.
fourth judicial district held a dele
gate convention at Harper on Sat-
urday and endorsed Judge P. B.
Gillett, the present Judge of the
district and republican candidate
for reelection.
The resolution adopted:
Resolved; that whereas the Democratic
Party stands for an impartial admins
tration OF all laws by the Judiciary branch
OF the government. without segard to
party lines and whereas. this convention and
Its membership. through its long acuuaint-
ance with Hon. P. B. Gillett. the present in
cumbent of the Office of District Judge for
our District. recognizes in Judge Gillett a
| man OF sterling qualities. and one befor e
whom all may receive perfect justice in his
court.
Therefore, be it resolved that we endorse
his past actions ON the bench and in making
no nomination to oppose his reelection we do
so in the full faith that the laws in our courts
will be honestly and impartially administer
ed for the next four years.
The Index is glad to notice that
the democrat party Of this district
is large enough to rise above parti-
san narrowness and we commend
the example to republicans
throughout the state. There is the
same reason why republicans should
support A. Harris for governor
as there is why democrats should
support Judge Gillett. Will they
be brave enough to do it?

TWO NEW sHERlFFs.

lhos. kenney and w. L. Par
sons, two of the republican leaders
of this city, officially announced
their candidacy for sheriff last
week. The party organ says that
it has been Mr.. Kenney's ambition
to be sheriff for a number of wears
and the statement is eminently
correct In fact a republican con-
vention in Barber county without
Tom as candidate would look
like a wagon with three wheels.
Mr.. Parsons is a contractor. He
was one of Mr.. Kenney's most ar
dent supporters in the republican
primaries two years ago and the
two went into the ditch and died
together, and it appears to an or
binary individual not familiar
with the hidden mysteries of poll.
tics that if there is no deal between
the two, that it would be the kind
ly thing for Tom to step aside and
give Bill the inside track.
There are now three avowed
candidates in the republican camp
for the office of sheriff. All of
them reside in this city. There
are as many more in other precincts
who would like to avow, but they
are not sure that the signs are right.
The contest for the delegation in
this city promises to be lively.
