It is indeed a pleasure for me to
present to our readers the cut Of
Hon. Chas. A. Dudley, present men,
Der of the district bench of Polk
county, who is a candidate for re-
nomination at the June primaries. Mr..
Dudley was born in Portage, Ohio, in
1889, and came to Polk county, Iowa,
in 1867, was admitted to the bar in
1869, having attended the State Uni
versity Of Michigan at Ann Arbor,
from which he graduated in 1866. He
has practiced continuously ever since
he was admitted in this county. He
has held the chair of equity and jur-
isprudence in the Drane university
for the past ten years. Mr.. Dudley
has record that but few men in this
state have, having practiced so con-
tinuously and never asking or hold
ing an elective Office before. He was
appointed by Gov. Clarke to fill the
newly created district Judge about
two years ago. He is an active work
er in church, society and public At
fairs for many years and is undoubt-
|sdly eminently qualified to I'LL any -
fee in the gifts Of the people Of this

competent for this office. He is true
friend of the colored race, as We edi-

solutely fair and friendly to strug-
Cling humanity, and sincerely urge
all my friends to give Mr.. Dudley
one of their votes June 1st for district

SENATOR DAVIS WILL .. CONTEST WEBB's WIN
Alleges Irregularities in Phoenix Pre- cincts Will Influence Result if
 Recount Is Made

Alleging that sufficient number of irregularities occurred in the re- cent democratic primaries in the Phoenix precincts to materially influ ence the result of the count for the nomination for state senator, Senator Harry A. Davis, yesterday filed complaint with the superior court of the county asking for full recount of the vote cast for the nomination of candidates for the office of state senator as between himself and Sam F. Webb. In addition to the Phoenix precincts named, all of them except one, five and six, he names both the Osborn and Meridian precincts as among those in which a recount is necessary to determine who has been nominated.
 Since the action is taken directly against Sam F. Webb, MT. Webb will naturally answer and should the court grant the application of Sena- tor Davis each party is entitled to name one person and the court names one who constitute a can wasting board for the purpose It is not known if the count will take into consideration all the candidates for the senatorial nomination in the democratic primary, but should this be the case, it is likely to make some change in the relative standing of ! A. R. Irvine and Harry Johnston. both of whom were candidates and both of whom acknowledged they were beaten.
 The majority of MT Webb over Mir. Davis so far is not more than fifty six votes. It is believed by the supporters of the senator that the reccu unt will make a decided change in the appearance of the result.
