lively. other kiowa democrats were urg-
ed by several democrats Of this city as

Judge W. T. Collins is asking for the
republican nomination for justice of
the peace of this township. We're not
particularly knocking on his candidacy

whether the Judge, being tied up in
the judiciary, can legally accept an Of
flee at the hands of the next legisla-
ture. And we are also not satisfied
that Judge Collins is sufficiently active
in promoting Sam Grifin's political
interests to warrant his appointment
when Sam becomes representative.
But Judge Collins is smooth poll
tician and we have confidence in his
ability to iron out these little knotty
questions.
