JaiIer Mullins The Slip.

Jailer Mullins, the officer who
has hodup man "Wm. Gads. one"

hold him and the bars of which are
case hardened. Gladstone's picture

undoubtedly a desperate and dan
gerous prisoner. Every care Is
being taken to see that he does not
e scape until he is tried in March.
He is sure to be convicted,

RUNNING FOR OFFICE STILL
 RATHER EXPENSIVE PASTIME

While the candidates Tor county offices have until March 16 to qualify, several have already paid their assessments to the subcommittee in charge of the cam paign and it is probable that before March 1 all will have discharged this obligation
 The following have qualified: Thomas J. McCabe, for coroner; John W. Altman, for clerk of the criminal court; J. s. GIL lespy for treasurer; B. l.. Brasher, Charles K. Dickey and J. P. Couch, for members of the board of revenue; M. B. Watkins, for treasurer, and c. 1T. Larue, for cor oner
 It is very probable that a considerable sum of money will be required by the subcommittee to conduct the campaign. It is estimated that from the assessments against candidates a sum close to s45OO will be received.

The substitute offered for the consdera- tion of the democratic party aims to preserve this principle; and then to give further representation based on results ac- complshed, and it cannot be denied that this is much fairer than the present sys- tenn.

CHOOSING OUR DELEGATES
By R. H. LEINAD

That the presnt system of delegate rep resentation to our national conventions Is not in harmony with the American spirit of fairness and justice will not be ques- toned by any one familiar with present methods.
 The following substitute for the plan now in use is more nearly in accord with democratic ideas of right than the plan now in use.
 Each state to elect four delegates for the state and four delegates for each democratic member of the lower house of Congress. elected at the last election preceding the presidential election for which delegates are to be chosen for the purpose of placing in nomination presi- dential candidate.
 There are states that have large pop ulation but have not since 1856 cast an electoral vote for our party. Pennsyl- vania illustrates the thought; and the rock ribbed state of protection has Tar greater weight In our conventions than states that have for half century or more invariably cast their electoral votes for our candidates.
 Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia North Carolina, South Carolina, Missls- sippi, Louisiana and Texas have 102 cleo toral votes in the electoral college ana 194 in our nominating convention, while Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Massa- chusetts have 109 electoral votes and 2oo delegates in our convention and yet these four states that are nearly certain to go republican can out vote states that Will give their vote to our nominee. That is to say. of the 13 named states, the four that will support the republican nominee can out vote the nine that will support our candidates->

He believes in the doctrine of rotation in office, and regards this as one of the fundamental principles of a republican form of govern ment- We know that there would be but little encourage ment or incentive for the young men of this country to prepare and qualify themselves for public service, if men are al- lowed to hold office indefi- nitely. The beginning of rota- tion in office must be started somewhere, and it might as well be now and in the office of the Clerk of the Criminal Court. MT. Altman authorizes us to say to the people of this county that having the views indicated herein, he will be en- >tirely satisfied with one term. And he pledges himself that if elected HE WILL NOT AGAIN STAND FOR RE- ELECTION OR REAP POINTMENT TO THIS OF FICE.
