h
that our readers will be interested il
any facts concerning him.
That the state convention nomi-
mated him by reclamation, without
dissenting vote, in itself is q high
assurance as to his fitness for the
position.
Judge Simpson is SO years of age,
and his life has been spent under
conditions favorable to the develop
ment Of judicial character and ability.
For "a years his home was at his
birthplace, farm in Dodge county,
Wisconsin. By self-denial and effort
he obtained a liberal education.
graduating from the university of
Wisconsin and the Columbia law
school in 1884. Young Simpson then
came to Minnesota and engaged at
Minneapolis in the practice of his
profession.
! In 1893 he was appointed city
attorney of the city of Minneapolis,
which position he held through re-
appointments for four years. In 1886
he was elected judge Of the district
court in the 18th judicial district, then
consisting of Anoka, Isanti, Wright
and Hennepin counties. By two sue
cessive reflections he has held this
position since.
The fact that his life has been
about equally divided between the
farm and the city, has made him
familiar at first hand with the condi-
tions that exist and the questions that
arise both in country and city.
To the training of a lawyer in
general practice he added the expert
ence and knowledge to be acquired
from representing the public as city
attorney, and this has been followed
by IL years of service on the district
bench.
While Judge Simpson has always
voted as republican, there has never
been any partisanship in the dis
charge of his official duties. This is
shown by the facts that he was
appointed to his second term as city
attorney by the, unanimous vote of
the democrats as we'll as the republic
cans, and that two years ago, before
becoming a candidate for reelection
as district judge, substantially all the
democratic lawyers of the district in
writing requested Judge Simpson to
be candidate for reelection and
pledged him their support.
/ Not only has he been a nonpartisan
politically but he has by his fairness
earned and holds the confidence of all
classes. he has repeatedly received
the endorsement of labor as we'll as
that of the business interests.
In addition to his work as Judge he
has been interested in many public
movements for the general good
throughout the state, and at present is
president of the Minnesota Academy
OF Social Sciences, an association de-
voted to the investigation of all poll
tical, social and historical questions
affecting the state of Minnesota.

Percy or vardaman May Withdraw in
Meets in May.

Special to The Neios.
Jackson, Miss, April 21.-The opin-
ion is steadily growing in political cir
cles that there may be third. and
possibly a fourth, entry in the sena-
torial primary to be held in Novem-
ber.
From all parts of the state Hon. G.
H. Alexander, of this city, is receiv-
ing letters and kilograms urging him
to become an aspirant for the honor.
That Mr.. Alexander is not unwilling
is plainly indicated by the statements
he has made publicly during the past
few days. He is not ready to posi-
lively say that he intends to enter the
race, but his inclination is very much
that way. His mind will not be fully
made up until the plans for the pri-
mary are outlined by the Democratic
state executive committee.
1t is evident, of course, that neither
Senator Percy or Ex-Governor Varda-
man huu any OthCi III
nor did they contemplate the possi-
bility of third candidate, when en-
gagged in correspondence last Satur-
day and arranging for the special
election to be held during the month
of November of this year, providing
the state Democratic state executive
committee is willing to order the
event.
Senator Percy wants finish fight
with Vardaman, and believes he is
entitled to it. Doubtless Ex-Governor
Vardaman feels that way toward Sena-
tor Percy, and there are a whole lot
of voters in Mississippi who want the
contest to be one of that nature
On the other hand, Mr.. Alexander
has large and enthusiastic follow
ing throughout the state, especially
among the prohibitionists and the va
rious churches, who are anxious to
see him honored with seat in the
United States senate and who earnest
ly believe that he is pre-eminently
qualified for the honor. They are
urging their favorites to run, and it
remains to be seen whether Mr.. Alex
ander can withstand the pressure.
1t is not likely there will be any
developments, however, concerning
Alexander's candidacy, or that of Hon.
J. c, Kyle. who has also been sug-
gested, until the state executive COM
mittee holds its session. which viii

IS THROWN OUT
Counsel Retained by Advocates of the
New County and Action of Election
Commissioners viii be Contested in
Courts.


Special to The NetoS.
Magnolia, Miss, April 21.-As fore
casted in the News, big legal battle
has developed from the recent cleo
tion on the question of establishing
the county of Walthal from parts of
Marion and Pike counties. Fraud
was alleged, and the election commits
sioners made an investigation, throw
ing out one box where 215 votes were
polled, and the new county advocates
have retained Judge W. H. Price of
Magnolia to enter proceedings and
have the action of the commissioners
reviewed by the court.
In this box, which was a part of
Marion county, it was alleged 32
fraudulent ballots had been cast. But
Judge Price said that even after the
commissioners had gone behind the
poll list and ballot, 25 of the 50 voters
declared they had voted against the
new county. In the face of this tes-
timony, when the commissioners
found evidences of fraud, the box was
thrown out. The new county carried
at that box by a majority of Is. and
when the 25 illegal votes against it
were thrown out, this increased the
majority to "a.
The new county only carried by
majority of nine, and opponents of
the county claimed negroes we're al
lowed to vote in violation Of the
pledge of the friends of the measure
when it was pending in the mouse.
In addition, il was claimed tha- sew
eral fraudulent votes were cast for
the new county, but when the cleo.
ton commissioners, sitting as IL court,
took evidence from those who voted
Illegally, according to Judge PIice, the
majority for tie new county was in
creased.
There is no statute allowing an ap-
peal from the decision of the election
commissioners, which is final, so far
as the result OF the election goes, and
the only recourse for the adv 'stes
of the new county is an appeal 10 the
courts, which Judge Price is prepar-
iDs to do at an early date. He came

on that account, the question is, what

that is but one of the incidents or

schools must keep up with the town.
