self, and we have heard of no other
entries to date. Judge Davis was
recently elected to the Judgeship
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of W. 7. Morris, who
has been reappointed clerk in the
State Department of Agriculture.
The retiring and incoming Judge
are both excellent officials, and
Benton County has been notably
fortunate in this respect.
AS it will be Benton County's
time to name the Democratic can
didate for Pictorial Representative
next year, Joe f. Odle is being
strongly urged by his friends from
all parts of the county as well as
from Decatur to get into the race,
and it is more than probable that
he will place himself in the hands
of his friends. Mr.. Odle is one of
the model young men of Benton
County. He is admirably equip
ped for the position, and all will
admit that he would reflect credit
to his constituency and honors un-
to himself.
Besides the Offices above men
toned, there are minor places to
be filed by the vote of the people,
and for these there will be plenty
of available material.
There will be field full of can
didates to choose from when the
Democrats nominate their ticket,
and plenty Of good ones, too.
If we have omitted anyone who
is a probable candidate for politi-
cal honors and the emoluments of
Office, we wish to assure them that
it is due to the fact that we are not
aware of their aspirations. While
the name of our old friend James
FL. Kee has not been "mentioued," !"
we are advised that it may be safely

two excellent officials, who are now
serving their first term, will ask
for an endorsement before the
next Democratic primary.
County Clerk W. d. Cooper has
uot intimated what his Intentions
are, but in any event there will be
several candidates in the race for
his Office before the entries are
closed. It is said that Dorsey B.
Gossett, County Superintend-
ent of Public instruction, has
longing eye on Cooper's job. 1t
is intimated that B. ID. Johnson
and N. ]. Cuff may get into this

L. E. Davis will be candidate at
the opportune time to succeed him.

LOCKHART-GREER.

j. M. Lockhart and Miss Alma
Greer were married at Cowell's
Chapel Sunday afternoon about 3
o'clock. Rev. r. w. Hood, the
presiding elder, said the marriage
ceremony, which was beautifuland
impressive, in happy manner, in
the presence Of large number of
friends. The attendants were +.
U. Florence and Miss Mamie Odle.
The bride is the accomplished
daughter of Trustee G. B. Greer,
and is a young lady greatly admir-
ed by all who know her for her
genial disposition and lovely traits
Of character. Mr.. Lockhart, who
is bookkeeper at the First National
Bank, is, most excellent gentle
man, and is generally recognized
as one of the model young men of
the county.
After receiving the best wishes
andcongratulations of friends, Mr.,
and Mrs. Lockhart came here and
were given reception at the home
of the groom's brother, S. W. Lock
hart, where, for the present, they
will be at home to their many
friends.
We join with other friends Ia
wishing the happy couple long
life, and may the sun of happiness
forever shine upon them.

THE ELECTION BILLS.

The bills taking the election
machinery out of the hands of the
Governor and enacting a compul.
sorry primary law have been passed
over the Governors veto and are
now laws of the State.
The two election bills and the
primary are designed to secure
honesty in elections and to take
from the Governor the power of
perpetuating an election machine.
The first provides for compul-
sorry legalizedp primary law, in which
every aspirant for Office under this
law is given representation, and vi
olationsare punishable by finesand
Imprisonment.
The State Election Board bill
takes from the Governor the right
to name the three Election Com
missioners and places that power
with the General Assembly.
The bill regarding County Elec-
tion Commissioners is but an en-
largement of the present law upon
the subject, the changes being for
the protection of the minority can
didates, and intended to secure for
all concerned a fair and unipflu-
enced judgment OF the people.
AS matter of fact, the basis of
each of the three bills vetoed by the
Governor and passed over his veto.
is honesty in elections.

COUNTY POLITICS.

Although the county election is
more than a year off, the voters
of Benton County are interested
In knowing who will be candidates
for office next year, and while the
newly enacted law fixes the date of
the general primary election for
April, 1910, a large number of
prospective candidates have been
mentioned" and some of those
who have intimated they might be
"pursuaded" to accept the nomi-
nation are not Sitting idle all the
day long," but are up and doing.
The contemplated retirement of
Ed Brown, the genial County Reg
lister, will bring out, perhaps, more
candidates for this office than any
other. It has been known for some
time that j. @. Durdin, A. N. Nc
Kelvy and L. E. Goodwin would
probably contest for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Register.
A new Richmond has recently en-
tered the field in the person of
Newt Wilson, and there may be
others. G. K. Gatewood has been
spoken of in connection with this
race, but we learn that he will not
be a candidate.
Ed Brown has made one of the
most efficient officials the county
has ever had, and he has been
strongly urged by friends over the
county to offer himself again, but
true toshis promise, made eight
years ago, he has positively de-
elined to permit his name to be
considered in the race.
L. L. Stem is favorably inclined
and will probably seek the Repub-
hcan nomination for County Reg
lister. There may be others SINH
larly inclined.
OF course there will be several
who will have hankering after
the Sheriff's place. j. W. Maiden
will probably be candidate, at
least we learn that this is his in
tention, and the name of Orlando
Lashlee is mentioned also in this
connection. The friends of G. Ell.
Cuff are anxious for him to enter
the Sheriff's race, and it has been
intimated that others may getinto
the game.
While he has not intimated his
intention Of being candidate for
Office again, it may be taken for
granted that Kit Woods, present
incumbent, will ask for an endorse
ment of his administration of the
Sheriff's Office, and it is not likely
that he will have an opponent for
the Republican nomination.
There will be Circuit Court
Clerk and County Trustee to elect
next year, too, but SO far Blanty
Holladay and Greene B. Greer,
the present incumbents, have no
opponents. While we have not
consulted with them, it seems to
be generally understood that these

SENATOR CRANES JOKE
Slips Coins Into Hands of Sleeper
Who Awakes Surprise.

During lull in his tariff opera
tions recently Senator Crane of Dial
ton. Mass, went out in front of the
Capitol and there lie saw tired, un.
dersized nswsboy, who had lain down
upon the tagging with his bundle OF
papers for a pillow.
He walked back and forth several
times looking at the lad. Then ne
tiptoed up to him and pushed a coin
into his hand.
The boy did not awaken but his
hand unconsciously closed upon the
coin. This seemed to please the SEN
ator, who cautiously slipped a coin
into the other hand, which also closed
upon it. The senator became deeply
interested as well as amused. He put
coins between the boys toes and up
on his bare legs. Ex-senator Hem
enway came up and joined in the di-
version.
Finally the two walked away and
some one wakened the "newsy." He
clutched for his pocketbook and his
change, thinking somebody had got
ten it from him. He was a much sur
prised lad at the wealth which had
come to him during his nap on the
tagging.

"cHIcKD EVANS SOLD
Former North Bennington Boy to Play
With Boston Nationals

Announcement has been made by
the Hartford Times that Chick" Ev-
ans, a former North Bennington boy
who is well known in tnis section,
will play with the Boston Nationals
next season. The account is as fol
lows:
Chickering Evans one of Hartford's
best pitchers has been sold by Owner
James H. Clarkin to the Boston Nat
ionals for S2500. Evans will remain
through the season with the Hartford
club and II he has good support be-
hind MIN will go to Boston in the fall
with an enviable record behind him.
"Chick" Evans is one of the most
youthful of the pitchers for whom
National league magnates have paid
good price and his professional
baseball experience has been entirely
with the Hartford team which he join
ed at the beginning of the 1908 sea-
son. Chick" was born in Arlington,
VT, and will be q years old in Sep
TENDER of this year
The clever young pitcher was one
of Tom Dowd's discoveries" and was
signed when Dowd took up the year.
Chicks" career began when he was
a student at Burr and Burton semi
nary at Manchester and ne pitched
three years for his school team. Then
he joined the semi-professional team
at Hoosick Falls, N. Y, which place
has been his home of later years. One
season with the Hoosick Falls team
made Evans good enough for Dowd
to bring to Hartford.
"Cnick" had done good work for
Owner Clarkin and most of Evans
lost games have been largely contrib
uted to by poor support behind him.
He pitched a worlds record game
against Bridgeport July % last year,
allowing no hits, no passes and hit
ting no player
Another deal has also been made
between Owner Clarkin of the Hart
fords and President John Dewey of
the Boston Nationals whereby Hart
ford has purchased the services of
Pitcner Thomas F. Mccarthy. Mr.
Clarkin declines TO make public the
price he paid for Mccarthy but says
it is not as much as he gets for Evans
and the Boston newspaper story of
giving Evans and $500 to boot for Nc
Carthy is all hot air.
Il wouldn't trade Evans even for
any pitcher on the Boston team,
said Mr.. Clarkin today.
Mccarthy, however. is quite some
pitcher, so tits said, and he has ar
rived in Hartford with his wife and
was expected TO pitch in one of the
games in the double-header with
Bridgeport this afternoon.
