practicing attorneys at the Oakland bar
and launched his candidacy for the nom

can ticket and thus become an opponent

liable tract of timber land in District
No. 8 and were about to operate it when
they were stopped by an injunction sued
out by the Circuit Court by j. L. Nc

land purchased by Messrs. Hollinger

Ex-Judge Daniel Wilson, of near
Kltzmiller, was in the city Tuesday on
business connected with his agricultural
affairs and expressed himself as being
quite satisfied with the prospects for a
good crop of things generally grown up
on the farm. While the Judge has re-
tired from active politics he still takes
an interest in the doings of his party
and is an advocate of the direct primary
for the nomination of the ticket this
fall. Mr. Charles E. Hilleary, Of the
same section Of the county, was also
visitor to the city Tuesday and he is
likewise favorable to the nominations
being made by direct vote of the peo-
pie. While these two gentlemen were
free to express themselves as favorable
to this mode of making the nominations
others held an opposite view, but it
seems to be the consensus Of opinion
that the nominations be made under the
direct primary plan, as the Republicans
committed themselves to this at the
county convention held two years ago
and upon which the ticket was then
nominated and elected.
