Henry BoswOrth Anxious to Get
In the Governors
Race.
Some Local Candidates Not i'm
Great Favor With the
Voters.
MIKE lyman NOW In The JAIL

The semi-official announcement
of State Auditor Henry Bosworth
that he would be candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
next year is expected to bring forth
the announcement of his fellow State
officer, Attorney General James Gar
nett, for the same plum, this to be
followed by the official entrance into
the race of Commissioner of Agri-
culture ]. B. Newman, but the latter
is by no means sure on account Of
the hearty opposition he would re-
ceive from the Democrats of Louis
vile, and that, COUPLED with the
fight on him by organized labor, may
cause him to step aside at this time.
Mr.. Bosworth's interests in this
district will be handled by Henry
Schweiters, and in case he does not
run the latter will devote his en-
ergies toward securing a big vote
for Tom Rhea for Auditor. The re-
port will not down that ex-Mayor
Head will be in the race for the
Gubernatorial nomination, but II he
intends to run not even his closest
friends can say definitely. While
the above list are hesitating about
their candidacy, Lieut.. Gov. McDer-
mott is busy receiving many pledges
Of support from those who consider
that he is the only one in the race,
and thus far he has enlisted quite a
formidable organization. There
seems to be disposition on the
part of some of the candidates for
State offices to form a combination
with the candidate for Governor, but
this will be impossible, as the voters
will rebel at machine made nomina4
tions.
Along with the possible candidates
for the Circuit Judgeships next year
the name of Merit O'Neal has been
suggested as an entry for Judge of
the Fourth division, Common Pleas
branch, being a staunch Democrat
and an able lawyer. Judge Muir
Weissinger is sure candidate for
the nomination, and it is expected
that Judge Charles Ray will be a
candidate for reelection. There is
sure to be several sharp contests for
Judgeships in the election next
year, and there is quite a feeling in
the ranks of the Democratic voters
against those holding judicial posi-
tions who believe themselves above
the work of aiding the organization
in the years that they are not candi-
dates, and strange to say are of the
opinion that they are needed on the
ticket to insure success.
The mention in these columns last
week of the possible candidacy OF
Henry Wallingford against Adam
Spain for the Legislative nominal
tion in the Second and Third wards
has brought to light another strong
contenders If he listens to the sug-
gestions of his friends, and that is
George Kettler, who has proven him
self big factor in Democratic cir
cles in that district and IL he enters
the race battle royal is In sight. It
is also believed that Logan Rock will
fight 1t out with Mayzick O'Brien in
the Forty-eighth district, which is
composed of the Sixth and Seventh
wards. DR.. j. A. Casper has also
been urged to enter the race for the
nomination in the Fiftieth district,
which is the Tenth ward. II he
cares to run VIII Duffy will be unop-
pOScu iOI INC uOnludliOu III luo
Fifty-first district.
To the qualification of the many
who know him, Mike lyman was ap-
pointed on Jailer Charles Fosters
force this past week, and II there
is loyal and faithful Democrat de-
serving reward II is the appointee.
This appointment will prove one of
Jailer Fosters most popular selec-
tions and will rebound credit to his
already successful administration.
II the law enforcing the publica-
tion OF campaign expenses was q
local one many would be under the
impression that the making and
erection OF banners would cut big
figure In the preliminary expenses
OF Frank Dugan, who Is a candidate
for the nomination for Circuit Clerk,
but the truth is Mr.. Dugan is as sur
prised as the next when he comes
across his advertisement, the ban
ners being placed by friends in diff
ferent parts of the city without his
knowledge. and is a tribute to his
