FOLKS CHOICE
As Seen Through the Ever of The st.
Joseph Observer.

Much speculation is being in
dulged ia as tn whom Governor
Folk will support and to what
extent he will go 10 the matter.
Ii is an open secret that Gov
,rnor Folk will do all in his
power to dictate REORGANIZATION
of his successor, but what he
will be able tn do is yet al I'm.
known quantity. By many
Democrats the purpose OF Gov
ernor Folk to select his own
successor will be resented, as 1t
is the very feature in Roose-
velt's policy to which they are
opposed and which is the sub
jet of so much adverse criti-
c1sm aimed against the chief eK-
ecutive of the nation. One
thing seems to be generally ua-
derstood, and that is that the
Democratic party will MAKE the
nominations and not the execu-
tive.
Governor Folks choice seems
TO be Hon. Ed Z. Grow, the
former attorney-general. but so
far no decided open move has
been made in his behalf.
Speaker of the House John M.
Atkinson is also in the same cat
egory, and W. D. Vdudiver
comes next, but it is understood
that if Crow will make the race
Vandiver and Atkinso will
step down and out of the way.
During the last session OF the
Legislature Governor Folk is
said to have made strong efforts
to push foIw ward James FL.
Whitecotton of Monroe, but the
effort did not meet with success
and it seems to be understood
that the ex speakers loom Is
relegated to the rear
Judge CAN'T OF The state SUI
preme court is being talked OF
to a great extent, but it is ex-
tremeIy doubtful if be will
make the race Three years
ago he was willing to make the
attempt, but when the Folk
Reed tight came on he stepped
aside. he has many friends in
this part OF the state who would
rally to his support at the first
intlmation from him that he
would accept the nomination.
Judge CAN'T has four years vet
10 serve Of his present term,
and this fact may cut consider
able figure in the question.

Dreaming Our Dreams.

Dreaming our dream, is a pleas
ant thing
When the glowing sun is set,
And the cares of the day have
taken wing
Win the shadows of deep re-
gr"t.
When the golden stars from the
cloud .ess sky
Seem to mile from the realms
Oi pea e,
Aud the roaring storms in the
distance die,
And the inward tempests
cease
Dreaming our dreams Of youth
again
When lie itself was a dream,
A dream and a song with
sweet refrain,
And rure as crystal stream;
When ntuLht that was real had
tcuchrd the heart,
And duuot was a thing un-
Known,
And the surrows that make the
teardrops start
Had NOT in the heart been
sown.
Dreaming our dreams of love so
sweet
When a smile was a glimpse
of heaven,
IT. The dewy lane or the dusty
street,
a. it by an angel given;
When the ,ound vi a voice or
the couch of hand
Sent thnIl TO the depths OF
soul,
And We seemed to stray on the
GOLDEN strand
Where tue pillows of pleasure
roll.
Aye. roaming our dreams is
pleasant thing
When the glowing sun is set,
And the cares of the day have
taken wing
With the shadows of deep re-
greet;
And thus we will dream till the |
pulse GIBBS low,
And the darkness steals DER
our sight,
And out of the world Of sorrow
go
To world of joy and light.
