Judge Simon is the first candidate
of any party to officially announce
himself in the race for county attor-
ney and is sure to prove a strong can
didate for that position. He will I'M
doubtedly have the undivided support
of the so-called young crowd" but
the splendid vote he has received at
former elections, his supporters say,
demonstrates his popularity and indf-
Gates that his candidacy will be &C
ceptable to all classes.
He was reared and educated in
Shawnee county and has practiced law
in Topeka ten years. He is a gradu-
ate of the Washburn law school, has
been a member Of the faculty of the
Washburn law school four years and
is now professor of criminal law.
AS practically all criminal cases
prosecuted by the county attorney
pass through or are tried in the court
of Topeka, his three years experience
on the bench in that court has given
him a splendid special training for the
position to which he aspires.
considering his ability, integrity
and special qualifications for the posi-
ton, also the fact that he is actively
identified with every movement that
makes for the best interests of the
community, Judge Simon's nomination
for county attorney would insure a
candidate for whom the Republican
party of Shawnee county need offer no
apology at the general election is the
estimate of well known lawyer.

TO APPEAL TO TAFT.
Mrs. Morse Is Circulating Petitions for
Her Husbands Pardon.

New York, Jan. 12.-Mrs. Charles w.
Morses campaign for freeing her hus-
band, who is now convict No. 2S16 IN
the United States penitentfary at At
lanta, has started vigorously in New
York city Petitions asking President
Taft to pardon the banker have been
placed in the foyers of most of the big
hotels and in other public places. Many
of the petitions have already gained
more than 100 signatures. Scores of
other petitions are being circulated pri-
vately.
The petition reads:
I'VE pray for absolute pardon for
Charles w Morse. RECENTLY convicted
of technical violation of the national
banking act. From our knowledge of
the circumstances. we believe that Mr.
Morse did not intend to wrong the Ma
tional Bank of North America. We be-
lieve that the jury trying the case was
largely influenced by public clamor and
that any further punishment would be
unjust and oppressive"
