NEW CASTLE. Sept. 25.-New Castle
hundred always had the distinction OF
being the hotbed of politics in tho coun-
" and this year Il Is no exception.
For the Office OF sheriff James w Fos-
ter is making the fight Of his life. He has
been life long Republican and always
worked for the success OF the ticket even
when there was little show Of winning
He has helped considerably to keep New
Castle in the Republican column and be-
longs TO a family with twenty-seven Re
publioans In Its fold and none OF them
are further Off Ia relationship than
nephew.
For Representative the fight Is between
William w. Leach and Elwood L. Wilson.
Mr.. Leach served as Sergeant-at>Arms Of
months and pledges given him then are
not TO be broken now as Mr. Wilson has
been candidate only a couple OF weeks.
Mr.. Leach served as esrgeant-at-Arms Of
the Senate a few years ago. He IS rs
popular as a young man can be, a deep
thinker a clear headed progressive young
man and a Republican that wants 20 see
the party successful. For United States
Senator he has his choice but believes IN
caucus nomination.
For city improvement he is a real advo-
cate OF a sewerage system and paved
streets under n commission OF the best
people OF the city. Mr.. Wilson has served
one term in the Legislature and is pro-
gressive also and believes m having an
up-to-date city.
For state Senator Paul Gilis has been
the favorite OF the people because he Is
true, tried and hard working Republl-
can. James H. Galloway Is candidate
for coroner and so 1t goes that the fight
along the line is a hot one.
