that there We're no contests in any pre-
cincts in the county. The delegations,
so far as known, are as follows:
West Lewistown-A. B. Lehman, J.

b. c. White came in from his
ranch this week, and was at once be-
sieged by members of his party who
wanted to know if he intended to ac-
cept the nomination for state senator.
1t had been represented for some time
that Mr.. White preferred to run for
county commissioner, with the under
standing that he would be made chair
man in the event of Democratic VIC
tory. Mr. White finally cleared the at
mosphee by letting it be known that
he was a receptive candidate for
state senator He does not intend to
do any wire pulling to get the nomi-
nation, but IL it comes to him he will
accept it. That appears to settle the
candidacy of H. l.. De Kalb, who
would have been the nominee beyond
a doubt had Mr.. White declined to
make the race. The baron gallantly
declined to commence tying things up
until Mr.. White had declared himself,
and altogether has placed himself in
a strong position, although there is
nothing in sight as a result of it.
County Commissioner w. T. Neill,
| of Garneill, will be a candidate be-
fore the Republican convention for re-
nomination It had been stated, but
without authority, as it now appears,
that Mr.. Neill might prefer to make
the race for sheriff, but this is not
i the case. He has made fine record as
commissioner, as everyone knows, and

afterward that the child labor inspect
ors were to visit the factory that day,
and the proprietors had got word of it.
Even the twelve to fourteen hours a
day the cigarmaker often puts in at
work, however, could not strangle the
aspiration in Rose Pastors soul. She
went to night school, she practiced writ
ing and studying English composition
till at length she began to make verses.
Then about the time she was grown her
family removed to New York. and Rose
rolled cigars and composed the prose
and poetry she wrote down in her scant
leisure moments. At last came Il gold
en- hour. Rose Pastor went out of the
cigar factory and became Il Newspaper
woman, contributor to a Jewish paper.
But her hard, bitter life had taught her
sympathy with the poor, and she and
her husband still work for them.
