Tue RACE ros CONSTABLE.

II has been suggested that m''
Ernest C. Cox may retire from the
race for constable and permit another
Democrat to enter the field as the
candidate of his party. Apparently
Mr.. Cox has no idea Of giving mp the
ooh. for the Office for which he was
Nominated in the Democratic pri-
mary Int even II he did get out IL
would be impossible for any o'her
democrat to- have his name placed
on the ticket. The time for Ming
notices expired several days ago, ana
Tho only candidates whose names can
appear on the ballot are these of Mr.
Cox and Mr.. J. w. Hester, the Re-
publican nominee.
Il is said that the voters may vote
fer third candidate by writing MS
maine on the ballot. Such a scheme
Would be worthless. we believe, even
from the standpoint OF those WIN
think that an independent candidate
with his name printed on the ballot
could he elected with Cox and Hester
in the field. 1t would be practically
impossible TO get enough strength
centered upon any new man who
would have the Office to give him a
majority of the votes cast with three
in the field. Such a scheme, IL it had
any effect at all, srobahly would
make certain the election OF the Re-
publican nominee.
As this paper sees it, it is case
OF Cox or Hester rs long as Mr.. Cox
stays in the field. And, though IT
