JUDGE RESTRAINED
In BEHALF OF PAULS
Supreme Court Takes Hand
IN Ebert Fight Over County
Commissioners Office

District Judge John w. Sheafor OF
the Fourth Judicial district has been
ordered by the state supreme court to
show cause why he issued writ of in
junction against Emile Pauls, restraining
him from interfering with Oloff Olson as
county commissioner OF El5ert county.
Upon the application OF b. G. HiIliard
attorney for Pauls, the court yesterday
issued temporary writ of injunction
against Judge Sheafor, returnable next
Saturday.
Pauls was elected one of the county
commissioners of Elbert county last fall,
and gave bond. He was elected to sue.
ceed Olson, but through some technical
irregularity in the bond the latter re-
tanned the office. Pauls contested his
right, but Judge Sheafor issued re-
straining order to prevent him from in
any way interfering with Olson's occu-
pancy of the office. An appeal has been
taken to the supreme crurt Saturday
Judge Sheafor will appear before the
court and explain his action, and if the
court finds that the writ was illegally
issued it will be dissolved, and Pauls
will be given an opportunity to establish
his clsim.-Rocky Mountain News.

Of his identity.
Just before the close of the day
came the first direct mention Of the
late Felix Faure, former president Of

present case lies in the friendship that
is known to have existed between

Des Moines. Iowa, Nov. 4.-Quietly
and confidently, the friends of United
States Senator Albert B. Cummins are
arranging for his dash for the repub-
lican presidential nomination In 1919.
In the capitol city of. Wisconsin.
similar arrangements are being made
on behalf of another great progressive
leader, Robert M. La Toilette.
Nothing that the public might con-
strue as an announcement of willing
ness to accept the nomination, is being
made on behalf of either man. 1t is
too early for that. Still, preliminary
work is going on Those who are en-
cheering presidential booms must
start long before the public has any
knowledge of what is coming. The
first thing, for instance, is to have
some friend of the receptive candidate
mention his name in connection with
the presidency. This is done as a
''feeIer." and to prepare the public
mind for what's to follow. Both Cum
minis and La Toilette have repeatedly
been mentioned" as presidential TIM
ber. Senator La Follette's. fight for
reelection to the senate is, of course,
in the foreground. at present, but the
ia Toilette for president idea may
be found somewhere in the back
ground. It really exists. and d not

Politicians find much pleasure in
discussing the respective chances of
success of the two men. The public
understands both are progressives, and
let's It go at that AS a matter of fact,
however, there Is marked distinction
between Cummins insurgency and La
Toilette insurgency. In the race for
the same goal, each is playing a diff
ferent game.
Both men would of course like to be
nominated by the republican party.
Failing in that, it is not unlikely that
either might accept the nomination
at the hands of third party, provid-
ing that by the time the next presiden-
tial election rolls around the progress
sive element has increased to such
proportions as to warrant 1t.
The specific difference in Cummins
insurgency and la Toilette insurgency
Is that Cummins Is Taft republican,
while la Toilette is not. When Presi-
dent Taft refused to come to the aid
Of the insurgents who were working
for downward revision of the tariff,
La Toilette at once put the president
along with Cannon and Aldrich and
assumed that they stood shoulder to
shoulder. La Toilette is fighting the
