and it is understood that he will
consent to become a candidate.
Just what figure this cuts, cannot
be guessed at this time. E. c..
Edgar is an avowed candidate al
ready and has the promise of
some substantial support through
out the circuit. Reppy is an able
lawyer and has been in politics
fora long time, he having made
the race ror Congress in this dis
trict twice. He has been a sue
~cessful practitioner before the
bar in this state and will doubtless
make a strong race. Eb bearing
will likely be the Democratic NOM
inee and will be a hard man to
beat as he, like other Democratic
statesmen of this day, in Missouri,
is mixed up in a ~factional fight
between the Old Guard and the
reform bunch. OF course Eb will
not have altogether smooth sail
ing, as Eversole is to be reckoned
with, and some say he has quite a
following. Be that as it may the
Republicans must nominate their
best man and then elect him.
Reppy's friends in this county
are insisting that he is the
strongest man in this district and
are going to insist upon his nomi-
nation. However the old-time
convention has passed away and
the rank and file will have the say
at a primary election, so it is hard
telling just who will land. The
Republican has never heretofore
taken sides in the primary, but in
the coming campaign will change
its policy to some extent and sup
port the man it thinks best suited
for the place. We make this an
nouncement now so that Jul po-
sition will be clearly understood
in the future"

HUMAN LIFE Boston. Mass.

HUMAN LIFE Boston, Mass.)
for January has a story of a recent
~mayoralty contest in a blooming
Colorado town which was, without
doubt, one of the most unique
elections aver held in this country,
and was backed by picturesque
features that would have delighted
the romancer seeking local color
in the "wild and woolly." In
Colorado, you know, the women
may vote as well as the men, and
it is most interesting to note the
part they played in this election.
The town had voted to adopt the
commission form of government,
and the ~mayoralty contest was
conducted by the preferential
system of voting, imported from
Australia, which had the surpris-
ing effect of sweeping to victory a
mayor who was not the peoples
first choice, or even their second,
but who came out ahead because
he was their third choice.

SAYS the Boonville Advertiser:

JuuSuuouG III ldNoE VI
Major Henry S. Julian VS.. The
Kansas City Star for intentional
and malicious libel has been af-
irmed by the United States Su-
preme Court. The Star has not
published this fact, nor will it do
so. No newspaper in Kansas City
will publish it. No city daily in
Missouri will publish it. A citizen
has been grossly libeled by a
newspaper of large circulation, yet
upon vindication in every court in
the land from lowest to highest,
the fact of his vindication is with
held from the public by the paper
that attempted his ruin. Such is
the Stars sense of justice!
