two judges and kindred spirits held
an all night session over the stiua-

announcement of McNulty's candi-
dacy would be necessary in order to
get it out before the governors. At
O'Clock in the morning. they pull
ed j. n. McKeever, editor of the
morning American out of bed to
publish the announcement. Mr.. Nc
Keever feared a trick of some sort,
and refused. They then went over to

and prevailed upon him to publish
the announcement with the next ev-
ening's issue.
AS yet the governor has not been
announced as candidate.
