Hon. j. b. Shannon, Chairman
of the State Democratic Com
mittee, addressed a goodly audi
ence at the court house yesterday
afternoon. He made a good
speech, too, which was frequently
applauded. About $40 was SUBJ
scribed for the use of the State
Committee, which will be increas-
ed to the 500 mark. Mr.. Shan
is touring the State and gives
cheering advices from every
section thereof.
A meeting of the Democratic
Central Committee of Iron county
was held at the courthouse Tues
day afternoon after the speaking.
The meeting was held in lieu OF
the one which had been called for
June 18th. A quorum of the COM
mittee were in town and it was
thought best to have the meeting
Tuesday and not wait until Satur-
day. The only business trans
acted was the selection of judges
for the primary election.
We forgot to mention last week
the return home of Prof. and Mrs.
John Needham who have been in
in Marshall, Mo-, the past nine
months, whore the Professor was
an assistant in the city High
School. He taught an excellent
term of school there and is so we'll
liked by the board and pupils that
they have persuaded him to ac-
cept the same place next year.
Good scholars and teachers like
Prof. Needham are always in de-
mand.-Salem Monitor.
Mr.. G. P. Damron announces
this week as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Prose-
cutting Attorney of Iron county.
Mr.. Damron has held this office
the past eight years, and every
one knows and recognizes the fact
That he has proven himself a faith
full, fearless and competent official.
Should he again be nominated
and elected, of which there is no
doubt, he will discharge the duties
OF his office with the same fidelity
and zeal in the future, as in the
past.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. D. BELLS, of
Los Angeles, California, spent a
couple Of days last week with
friends and acquaintance in the
valley. Doty was for quite a while
a printer in this Office, but the past
ten years or more has been a lin
otype operator on the Los Angeles
Times. He was a good boy and
has made a good man. They re-
turned to Frankclay Friday where
they will spend a week when MI.
Bells will start for California.
Mrs. Bells will remain in Missouri
until August.
In this issue of the REGISTER
will be found the announcement
of VIM. A. Townsend who is ask
ing for the Democratic nominal
ton for County Judge of the Wes-
tern District of Iron County. Mr..
Townsend is a Belleview man,
born and bred, and a mighty good
man and citizen he is, too. Every
one who knows him can testify to
his honesty and worth. Unques-
tionably he possesses qualifca-
tons that would make him an ex-
cellent county judge. He will UNI
d%oubtedly be a strong man at the
polls.
The County Central committee
met last Saturday with more can
didates in attendance than com
mitteemen. A resolution was
passed, sanctioned and signed by
all candidates there, to support
the nominees on the Democratic
ticket in November, also not to
spend money for votes or give
money to a few would-be grafters
throughout the county. This is a
good move in the right direction
and all candidates should sign
those resolutions and heartily in
dorse the action taken by the com.
mittee. -Salem Monitor.
Following are the names of those
who attended the teachers exam.
